"Finger3D" turns your device into a three-dimensional modeler, the smallest and portable existing 3D modeler. With "Finger3D" you can create any shape/object/3D model, modeling the shapes with the fingers of your hands. To create Your 3D MODEL, You will have the 3D geometric primitives (spheres, cylinders, cones, cubes, planes, surfaces, discs, curves, etc...) typically used in the commercial 3D modelers for the PC or MAC. You can manage the parameters for lighting (eg. lamp position), material (eg. material’s color, textures), the object transparency, etc... You can navigate the 3D WORLD using the fingers of your hands; you can use the 3D view, the top view (Y UP), right view (X UP), frontal view (Z UP). You can explore the 3D WORLD using the first person view (NAVIGATION MODE). You can model the objects in the 3D WORLD, scale, rotate, move the vertices dragging Your fingers on the screen or use the blue 3D ball pointer to select/move objects/vertices/faces. You can quickly locate the pointer in the 3D space by writing the X, Y, Z coordinates, using the “pointer move” buttons (along the axes X, Y, Z). The size of the objects can be defined, during insertion, with the "POINTER RADIUS" control or using the scale feature (in editing mode). With "POINTER RADIUS" you can select one or more vertices/objects/faces; increasing the size of the "POINTER RADIUS" You can select multiple components. Instruments for the 3D modeling: 0) CHARACTER MODELING using BACKGROUND IMAGES 1) MODEL with fingers: move the touched vertices by dragging Your finger on the screen 2) SUBDIVIDE: divide one or more faces into 4 or more faces for each face 3) EXTRUDE: extrusion perpendicular or oblique for faces or vertices (extrusion direction: from the center of the selected face to the center of the 3D pointer or along the three axes X,Y,Z) 4) SMOOTH: useful for the creation of mountains 5) VLINK: move the vertices in the center of the 3D pointer (useful to create arrows, beaks of animals, aircraft, wings, etc...) 6) COPY/PASTE 7) COPY MIRROR (respect the chosen axis or along it) 8) ERASE VERTICES / FACES 9) FACES EDITING / VERTICES EDITING 10) REVOLVE 11) REVOLVE "SPIN" 12) REVOLVE "BASE FACE" (to create people with one click) 13) MOVE 14) 3D and 2D views 15) SMOOTH SHADING, FLAT SHADING, WIREFRAME 16) GROUP/UNGROUP 17) UNDO/REDO etc… The model may be manually or automatically saved for later use, exported to OBJ+MTL format and then be sent via e-mail or loaded in the common 3D modelers for the PC o MAC (ex. Maya 3D, Blender, etc...). RENDERING: the generated JPG/PNG image according to the policy "render what you see" will be saved in the device’s photo album (can be sent by e-mail if necessary). PERSPECTIVE and ORTHOGRAPHIC projections. The “Projects Archive” allows storing, management, loading and merging projects. You can see the model in all its parts, activating the animation. The ability to apply textures photographed (with the camera of the device) to the 3D model will give you the feeling of working with real 3D models. The 3D graphics has been fully implemented using OpenGL, with the graphic acceleration used for the PC games. Useful for all types of use: for Engineers (computer, mechanical, electrical, chemical), Architects (eg. design and rendering), Chemicals (ex. design of molecules), Astronauts, Astronomers, Designers, Filmmakers, Gamers, Biologists, Interior Designers, etc... Finger3D has been designed to work well together to FingerCAD: You can model in a 3D WORLD the design started with a 2D CAD, apply textures to the 3D model, explore the CAD design using the first person view (3D CAD VIRTUAL REALITY NAVIGATION feature), create realistic images using the rendering procedure.

Verto Studio 3D is the most powerful mobile 3D modeling application. A fully-functional 3D modeling and graphics studio designed to rival desktop studio programs, verto strives to push the boundaries of what is capable on an iPad and from the users that use it. The software is designed for all ranges of users, from professional 3D modelers, game developers, to beginners looking to get their feet wet in 3D content generation. Use it to build quick 3D mockups or fully functional environments for mobile applications. Verto Studio is an ideal solution for mobile 3D content generation because it bridges the gap between design and mobile testing. It supports importing, exporting, viewing and editing 3D models of any size. With the addition the pro animator (separate purchase), Verto Studio can be used to rig and animate a model from scratch completely on the iPad without the need for any external tools! With use of the "auto tool", the user can intuitively gesture using taps, swipes, pinches and twirls to quickly alter the scene as they see fit. Verto Studio includes the following features (and many more not listed here): - Built-in shaders including reflection/refraction environment mapping, BRDF, bump-mapping and more! - Render pipeline editor for multipass & post-processing effects with built-in blending operators - Editing transform handles for easy translate/rotate/scale tools via touchscreen. - Instances (duplicate many, edit once) - File import (glTF, DAE, OBJ, STL, .X, 3DS, FBX) and more! - File export (glTF, DAE, OBJ) - Verto Studio file format support and exchange via email - Mesh generation using quads and triangular faces - Image rendering support -- Planes -- Cubes -- Spheres -- Toruses -- Cylinders -- 3D Text complete with font selection and built-extrusion. -- 3D shapes with built-in shape editor and SVG importer. -- Terrain generator (height field) -- 3D Sketch tool -- Skybox type -- Cubemap renderer type to live-generate environment maps. - Mesh Augmentation -- Polygon extrusion -- Polygon subdivision -- Copy and paste between scene documents -- Texture coordinate editor - Editing features -- Vertex Translation/Rotation/Scaling -- Mirror -- Material editor --- Semi-transparency support. -- Texture mapping -- Texture coordinate editing -- Laplacian smooth -- Mesh separation -- Polycount Reduction -- CSG (Union, Intersect, Subtract) -- Snap to Grid, Face, Edge, Vertex -- Camera to texture (ipad 2) -- Lighting editor -- Undo - Multiple camera modes (top, bottom, left, right, front, back, free) - Simultaneous camera view with 4-view split screen. - Orthographic projection mode for engineering and CAD applications - Advanced camera controls for FOV angle and near and far plane manipulation - "Fly through" mode. Fly through the scene in full screen using FPS-game-style controls. -- Gyro motion view. In "fly through mode", tap the gyro button to use your iPad as a virtual window into the scene, changing the vantage point as you hold the iPad a different angles. - Fully supports the retina display of the new iPad for maximized screen real-estate usage. - New built-in cubemaps (preset environment maps) - Built-in glsl shader-editor. (separate purchase required) - Pro-animator rigging, weight painting, and animation tools (separate purchase required) - Scripting support via VertoJS (separate purchase required)

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Finger3D at 5.0 against Verto Studio 3D's 3.6. Finger3D also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Verto Studio 3D's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 1) and chart position (#188 vs unranked). On review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Finger3D costs $2.99 and Verto Studio 3D $1.99 up front. Verto Studio 3D sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Finger3D asks for nothing beyond the download.
Finger3D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Verto Studio 3D has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Finger3D's written reviews are positive against 61% of Verto Studio 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Finger3D ships an update every 2 months, Verto Studio 3D every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
