PulseCraft Studio is a powerful 3D scene builder and animation editor designed for iPhone and iPad. Create complete 3D worlds, keyframe-animate anything, export cinematic videos, and collaborate with an AI creative assistant — all on iOS. AI Creative Assistant Describe what you want and watch it appear. The built-in AI assistant can create objects, set up lighting, adjust materials, animate scenes, and modify properties — all through natural conversation. Choose from cloud models (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini) or run models entirely on-device with Apple Silicon for complete privacy. Toggle thinking mode to see the AI reason through complex scene setups step by step. Create 3D Scenes Fast Start from 11 built-in primitives: box, sphere, cylinder, cone, capsule, pyramid, torus, tube, plane, and extruded 3D text. Import your own USDZ models with live preview, full materials, and optional skeleton animations. Place and edit objects using touch-friendly move, rotate, and scale gizmos in the 3D viewport. Materials That Look Real Build physically-based (PBR) materials with controls for base color, metalness, roughness, specular, clearcoat, opacity, and emission. Add texture maps for base color, metalness, roughness, normal, and emission. Create glass and translucent surfaces using Index of Refraction and transmission controls. Pro Lighting Add ambient, directional, point, and spot lights. Adjust color, intensity, temperature, soft shadows, and falloff. Shape spotlights with inner and outer cone angles — and animate every light property over time. Animate Everything at 60 fps Keyframe position, rotation, scale, materials, lights, cameras, and geometry dimensions. Scrub the timeline, set keyframes on any frame, and preview smooth playback instantly. Cinematic Cameras Use multiple cameras with field of view, near/far clipping, and depth of field controls. Navigate with orbit, pinch-to-zoom, and quick view snaps. Optional HDR tone mapping for richer output. Dual Rendering: Fast or Photoreal Export with either renderer: • RealityKit Rasterizer — fast real-time rendering on every device • Metal Ray Tracer — photorealistic path tracing with soft shadows and realistic refraction (A14 chip or later) Tune quality with up to 512 samples per pixel and up to 8 light bounces. Export Up to 4K Render videos as HEVC MP4 or export stills as PNG. Choose 480p, 720p, 1080p, or 4K UHD, preview before export, then share via the Share Sheet. Designed for Touch Tap to select, drag to orbit, pinch to zoom, long-press to focus. Color-coded XYZ gizmos keep editing intuitive, and full undo/redo lets you iterate confidently. Projects & Safe Saves Manage multiple projects with thumbnail previews. Scenes save locally in an efficient JSON format with built-in version migration. Whether you're prototyping motion ideas, learning 3D, creating social content, or experimenting with AI-driven scene design — PulseCraft Studio gives you a full 3D animation pipeline anywhere you go.
