QuackyBrush 3D is a freestyle 3D modeler and painter. Tap to place primitives — sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder, capsule, cone, frustum, torus, box. Move, resize, rotate, mirror, group, and carve them into anything you can picture. When the shape is right, bake to fuse the primitives into a single smooth model. Then paint directly on the surface. Save as a Creation. Place it in a Scene with a movable light and other models. Render the scene to your camera roll. Built for everyone - ideal for 7+ (kids who play Minecraft/Roblox or other 3D games performed well in UX testing). The interface respects your time. Drag-first input on top of an SDF + smooth-min CSG engine. Premium creative ownership - buy once, no subscription. What you can make. Stuffed animals, cute characters, low-poly game assets, 3D-print-ready props, game mascots, geometric sculpture, snowmen, ducks, chess pieces, mushrooms, robots. The primitive set composes into more than its parts. Negative-space carving. Switch any primitive to Carve mode and it becomes a subtractive ghost - eye sockets, mouth slots, embossed details, cavities. Smooth-min CSG fillets the boundary so carves feel hand-shaped, not Boolean-clean. Groups + pre-bake. Build a head, group its parts, pre-bake the group into a single fused unit. Drag the head as one piece while you keep adding to the body. Mirror. X, Y, or Z. Place one ear, get the other automatically. Place one eye, get the second symmetric. Free trackball rotate. Drag in any direction - the model rotates around the axis perpendicular to your finger. Need axis-locked rotation? Switch to X / Y / Z sub-tools. Orthographic toggle: Faux-orthographic camera for design-grade views.

COSMOS is a solar system you hold in your hand. This is not a decoration. Every planet sits exactly where it is right now, computed from real orbital mechanics. Where is Jupiter tonight? How are Saturn's rings tilted? Open the app — the answer is there. - REAL ORBITS Positions of all 8 planets and the Moon are computed from Keplerian orbital elements in real time. Scrub through time to see the sky 10 years from now — or the day you were born. - PHOTO-REAL TEXTURES Saturn's rings, Jupiter's Great Red Spot, sunspots and solar granulation — every texture is generated on your device and stays crisp as you zoom. - CONTROL TIME From one second = hours, to one second = years. Watch the Moon change phase and the planets trace their orbits with your own eyes. - EXPLORE FREELY Pinch and swipe from outside the solar system down to a planet's face. Tap any body for details. - DESIGNED WITH RESPECT - No ads, ever - No in-app purchases — one simple price - Works fully offline, on a plane or on a mountain - Collects zero personal data For curious kids asking "why?" For stargazers who want a quiet moment of awe. The real universe, in your pocket. LANGUAGES English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German
