ShapeScript is a 3D modeling program for people who don’t like 3D modeling programs. Instead of dragging polygons and vertices around in a GUI, ShapeScript lets you define your models precisely using code. No artistic skills are required - ShapeScript does all the drawing for you. The ShapeScript app includes a parser for a simple language (also called “ShapeScript”). ShapeScript (the language) is a cross between a markup language and a programming language. You don’t need to be a programmer to use ShapeScript. If you have ever worked with any kind of structured text like JSON or HTML then it should come naturally. But if you do have experience with programming, then you can apply those skills to create even more complex models by using loops, functions and variables to procedurally generate geometry. Models can be rendered as images or exported in a variety of formats suitable for use in games or 3D printing (export functionality is a premium feature, unlockable via in-app purchase).

Obloid turns sketches, text prompts and photos into 3D printable models, then gives you the tools to customize, fix and cut them for your printer. Export STL, 3MF, OBJ or GLB, ready for your slicer. AI TOOLS • Sketch to 3D: draw a doodle on the canvas and get a colored 3D model back. • AI Model Generator: describe a figure, animal or prop, or attach a reference image. Sculpted mode makes characters and figures. Parametric mode makes exact parts with real sizes. • CAD Agent: describe a part, then refine it message by message. • AI Part Splitter: split a model into separate parts you can print one by one. PRINTABLE GENERATORS Pick a maker, adjust it with sliders and watch it update in 3D. No AI credits needed. • Keychains and pet tags • Nameplates and 3D text • Photo bookmarks and photo puzzles • Hinged boxes with dividers • 3D QR codes and cookie cutters • Phone stands, desk clamps, hanging planters and spinning tops UTILITIES • STL Cutter: too big for your print bed? Draw a seam, add connectors and export the parts. • STL Repair: fix non-manifold meshes before you slice. • Make Mesh Printable: rebuild broken meshes into a closed STL. • Color 3MF Splitter: split a painted multi-color 3MF into separate color parts. • 3D Print Timelapse: turn sliced G-code into a layer-by-layer build video. • Converters: turn PLY files, 3D Gaussian splats and point clouds into printable STL. EXPORT Export STL, 3MF, OBJ or GLB. Multi-color models export as a 3MF with filament slots assigned, or as one STL per color. Made for makers, 3D printing hobbyists, teachers, students and designers who want to print their ideas without learning CAD. AI tools run on credits. Obloid Pro includes fresh credits every renewal. You may purchase an auto-renewing subscription through an In-App Purchase. • Weekly Auto-renewable Subscription • Yearly Auto-renewable Subscription • Your subscription will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew (at the duration selected) unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Current subscription may not be cancelled during the active subscription period; however, you can manage your subscription and/or turn off auto-renewal by visiting your iTunes Account Settings after purchase • Privacy policy and terms of use: https://agreement.obloid.limitnil.com
