Model View 3D is a fast, simple viewer for textured 3D models on iPhone and iPad. Turn, tilt and zoom around a model, let it spin, move the light, switch rooms, and see exactly how its color, normal and specular maps shape the final look. TEN BUILT-IN MODELS Start right away with a photogrammetry head scan, a modern arm chair, a potted plant, a pocket watch with a glass crystal and a polished case, a vintage camera, a normal-mapped cyborg, and more. BRING YOUR OWN MODELS • Import OBJ models (with their MTL and textures) and glTF or GLB models from Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, Mail or any app that can share a file. • Zip a model together with its textures and import everything in one step. • Sixteen slots: six free for your models, and any built-in can be replaced or restored. • Supply your own button icon, or let the app render one for you. REAL MATERIALS • Metal renderer with per-pixel lighting, normal maps and specular maps. • Room reflections on glass and metal, driven by glTF metallic and roughness maps. • Transparent glass, double-sided foliage and alpha-masked leaves. • Smooth or flat shading per model, and a wireframe view with a live triangle count. SIMPLE CONTROLS • One finger to orbit, pinch to zoom, two fingers to raise or lower the view, triple tap to reset. • Spin the model, step through four rooms, and open the Settings card to move the light, change its brightness, and switch texture maps and reflections on or off. Built-in help explains every control and how to prepare models on your Mac or PC. No account needed. Model View 3D is free and supported by a small banner ad that appears only while the model menu is showing; a one-time Remove Ads purchase takes it away for good.

You were always told not to play with fire. Now you finally can. No burns. No smoke in your home. No fire department required. Synatello Fire puts a real-time, interactive fire simulation in your hands. Start with the gentle flame of a candle, build a roaring fire, or fill the screen with a blazing inferno. And this isn't a prerecorded animation. The fire is simulated and evolves in real time directly on your iPhone. Play with the flames • Blow on the fire by holding your finger near the flame • Watch the flame bend, twist, break apart and recover • Blow out a candle and watch the smoke rise afterward • Add multiple fire sources anywhere in the scene • Create swirling vortices with your finger • Watch glowing sparks travel with the simulated airflow • Slow down time and explore the motion of fire in detail • Move the camera around the full 3D simulation • Explore different scenes, from a quiet candle and campfire to a raging inferno • Push the simulation further with increasingly powerful fire effects Want a calm candle flame? You got it. Want a roaring fire? Go for it. Want to see what happens when you take things a little too far? Try it. Synatello Fire is a real-time physics sandbox made for playing, experimenting, and simply enjoying fire in motion. Everything runs directly on your device. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just fire. Synatello Fire Fire you can finally play with.
