Browse GZ, RAR and ZIP archives and view 3D content from a variety of popular data formats right on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. View 3D data attached to E-mail messages, download from websites or online cloud storage or transfer via iTunes document exchange or from the Files app. 3Dskope natively supports 3DS, ASE, OBJ, PLY, and STL formats. Additional data formats are available via 3Dskope Importer extensions (see below). 3Dskope also handles some bitmap formats not supported by iOS (e.g. DDS, TIFF, TGA). Other document types (AR content, PDF's, photos, movies, office doc's, etc...) are passed to iOS for preview generation. Thus, 3Dskope is an advanced, high quality 3D viewer with additional general-purpose content viewing capabilities. 3Dskope lets you play animations embedded in 3DS or ASE files (mono- or stereoscopic), lets you toggle light sources and gives you an overview of the elements that comprise the scene (cameras, lights, materials, meshes, groups). In addition to polygonal mesh geometry 3Dskope can import NURBS curves and surfaces from OBJ files. Using 3Dskope's Magic Crosshair™ you can measure coordinates, distances, areas and volumes. In addition you can use the clip tool to display and animate cross-sectional views. You can customize the UI for left-hand or right-hand operation. Also, you can select from a number of background patterns, gradients and color schemes or define your own look. Additional capabilities are available via In-App Purchase extensions: - 3Dskope Professional lets you load scene textures, provides extended visualization modes, and lets you render your scene in high resolution with transparent background. On supported devices an additional spatial image is generated when rendering in side-by-side stereo mode. - 3Dskope Explorer provides a new and intuitive way to view the properties of your scene’s cameras, lights, materials, nodes, animation tracks and animation keys. In addition you can explore individual meshes in a separate 3D view. - 3Dskope Exporter lets you save your scene to various popular data formats (3DS, OBJ/MTL, PLY, and STL are currently available). Free trial exporters are included for evaluation. These have full functionality but the trial exporter's output can only be opened with 3Dskope and only on the same device. This way you can test the exporter before buying the unrestricted version via In-App purchase. - 3Dskope Importer provides support for additional data formats. Static preview generation is available for free. Again, this lets you test before you buy the full functionality for a specific data format via In-App purchase. AC3D is the first additional data format provided by a 3Dskope Importer extension. For a detailed app description view the 3Dskope Quick Start Guide on our website. There are also some short tutorial videos on YouTube. Just search for "3Dskope". Please contact Seselmo Support if you have questions about 3Dskope or if you want to leave feedback.

VR Models Manager
Read full descriptionHide full description
“VR Models Manager" turns your device into a three-dimensional model viewer in virtual reality (on the screen of the device or using a VR VISOR) for the design, study, simulation and detailed observation of 3D models. Build one or more 3D models (with textures, using for example Blender, FingerCAD, Finger3D, etc...) and visualize them in virtual reality: use the screen of the device or use any VR VISOR to visualize the 3D model in CINEMA 3D mode, with the perception of the depth of the 3D model. Build a fantasy world: - populate the scene with one or more 3D models built by you - insert a background - insert the sky Interacting manually with the 3D model you can: - rotate the camera around the 3D model (by dragging a finger on the screen) -> rotate the 3D model around its vertical or lateral axes - move the camera to the right or left (by dragging two fingers on the screen) -> move left / right / up / down the 3D model - move the camera forward or backward (by dragging three fingers vertically on the screen) -> move the 3D model closer and further away - rotate the camera around its horizontal axis (ROLL - rotating two fingers on the screen) -> rotate the 3D model around its front axis - change the camera's FOV (field of view) (pinching the screen with two fingers) - restore the initial settings of the camera (double touch with a finger) Background of the scene and landscape: - you can add a background/sky to the scene (horizon) by inserting for example a cylinder or a cube (with texture) in the scene, with radius/side large enough to contain the scene (the texture of the cylinder/cube will be your background/sky) - you can build models of mountains, trees, rivers, lakes, streams, etc... and insert them in the scene to enrich the landscape - you can add houses, cars, motorcycles, people, birds, etc... - you can add to the scene any object you want, designed by You using 3D modelers (or purchased on the Internet: all formats compatible with SceneKit can be used such as OBJ (with MTL and TEXTURE with relative path), SCN, STL, etc...) 3D model import: - File sharing (iTunes) - Open In Useful for example: - for retailers, to show the products on sale (3D catalog: show real products not yet present in the shop ex. eyeglasses, ornaments, favors, chandeliers, etc...) - to better visualize the model before 3D printing (the displayed model can be directly printed using 3D printers and specific printing software) - for architecture ex. observing / studying / showing in detail a room / apartment / building not yet existing - for engineering ex. design houses and exploring them even before starting construction work - as a creative game (build, photograph or film fantasy worlds created by you) - etc… UNIVERSAL APP: - You pay only once and run on all your devices

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VR Models Manager at none against 3Dskope's 8. VR Models Manager also leads on price ($1.99 vs $3.99). 3Dskope's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 44 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
