Valence 3D vs Flow Nodes

Valence 3D is a powerful, beautiful, minimal, and easy-to-use 3D Polygon & SubD modeling app for iPad & iPhone. No matter whether you're learning 3D modeling for the first time or a professional working in design, construction, gaming, web dev, digital fabrication, architecture, or spatial computing, Valence 3D has what you need to get started! CREATE, IMPORT, EDIT & EXPORT 3D MODELS • 25 primitive shapes are built-in & ready to help you start modeling: plane, box, sphere, squircle, rounded box, arc, circle, cylinder, tube, cone, capsule, torus, icosphere, pipe, revolve, helix, voronoi, text, super shape, noise surfaces, torus knot, faceted gem & tube. • Import existing models, reference images, lidar scans and room plans • Imports: OBJ, STL, USD, USDZ • Exports: PNG, SVG, OBJ, STL, USD, USDZ, GLTF, GLB • Knife tool to create complex and detailed geometry • Move, Rotate, & Scale gizmos make it easy to transform nodes, faces, edges & vertices • Powerful modeling gizmos for extruding, insetting, beveling, poking, creasing & cutting • Multiple selection & automatic loop selection help accelerate your modeling • Tap on one of the gizmo handles to bring up an input field for precise transformations & mesh operations • Robust snapping & alignment commands • Selection operations: grow, shrink, select shell & deselect • Mesh operations: duplicate, instance, set / center pivot, trim by plane, boolean, apply transform & subdivide • Face operations: separate, combine, bridge, extract, poke, collapse, delete, dissolve, harden & soften • Edge operations: extrude, insert vertex, collapse, dissolve, bridge, harden & soften • Vertex operations: insert edge, dissolve, delete & merge • Non-destructive & configurable mesh modifiers: mirror & subdivision • Apply complex transformations using different gizmo pivot points & orientations EASILY NAVIGATE & STAY IN FLOW WHILE DESIGNING • Carefully crafted & fully optimized for iPhone & iPad • Designed to minimize cognitive overload by only showing tools & commands that are contextually relevant • Easily navigate to any part of your model by dragging and pinching: two finger pinch to zoom and roll, and one finger drag to rotate • Pop into the standard orthographic views by tapping one of the handles of the orientation gizmo • Use two & three finger tap gestures to undo & redo • Select components by dragging or using the rectangular selection mode • Your work is saved automatically every two minutes and every time you go back to the gallery • Get an overview of your scene’s structure from the Outliner • Long press on a node in the Outliner to easily rename, duplicate, instance, delete, parent & reorder any object in your scene • Precisely adjust any node’s position, rotation & scale with the Inspector • Adjust material properties, display & modifier options with the Inspector STAY ORGANIZED ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES • Preview, share, duplicate, delete & rename your models from the gallery • iCloud syncing keeps all your models up to date, private & accessible across all your devices PREVIEW, MEASURE, & RENDER YOUR CREATIONS • 6 powerful rendering modes: Matcap, Modeling, Wireframe, Physically Based, X-Ray & Path Traced • Export renders in any aspect ratio & scale • Preview your model in AR in two taps • Export your scene as a USDZ & be confident it’ll look consistent on all Apple devices • Tweak your model’s material & see changes in real-time • Tweak-able scene settings: camera field of view, background type, blurriness, intensity & rotation • Get model measurements in one click • Add persistent dimensions between any two surfaces in your scene PURCHASE & COMPATIBILITY • One time purchase unlocks both iPhone & iPad versions • Apple Pencil supported on select iPads • 120 FPS supported on devices with ProMotion displays • Path Tracing is supported on iPads with M series chips & iPhones with A15 Bionic & later • Lidar Scan & Room Plan is supported on devices with a lidar sensor

Flow Nodes is a visual programming app for building live graphics, video effects, 3D scenes, and custom interfaces — just connect nodes, no code required. Start from ready-made presets in Discover, follow built-in tutorials, or build from scratch. Combine image processing, video, animation, math, networking, and UI with realtime inputs like camera, microphone, motion sensors, body, hand and face tracking, MIDI, OSC, and NDI. Built for realtime creation. Nodes arrange themselves as you connect them. Search and add nodes quickly, edit properties in the inspector, animate with a keyframe timeline, and reuse flows inside other flows. Organize projects in folders, split the canvas into tabs and panes, and navigate with a mini-map and live previews. Import and export images (including HDR), video, and 3D assets, record any output to video, and AirPlay content over Wi-Fi or HDMI. On supported devices, Apple Intelligence helps you understand and edit flows: read node docs, review connections, and use chat to create, connect, and update nodes with natural language. Automate flows with Shortcuts. Node Features - AI nodes for image generation, Image Playground, and chat - Live video: camera, background removal, chroma key, and text detection - Body, hand, and face tracking - Video playback, frame sampling, and recording - Keyframe timeline with bezier curves - OSC, MIDI, NDI, and network requests for realtime control - 3D rendering of geometry, particle fields, and Gaussian splats - Cameras, lights, projectors, and 360° equirectangular and cube map tools - Vector and geometry tools: shapes, clones, extrude, lathe, and transforms - UI nodes: buttons, sliders, labels, text fields, grids, stacks, and overlays - JavaScript and Metal shader nodes for custom logic and effects - Sensors: motion, microphone, location, game controllers, and haptics - Data and state: typed values, lists, maps, math, time, and signals Some nodes require Pro Nodes access. Your flows sync across devices with iCloud. Privacy Policy https://flownodes.app/privacy-policy.html Terms of Use https://flownodes.app/terms-of-use.html
