Turn a photo, sketch or illustration into an editable 3D model with AI. Create characters, figurines and creative objects, then sculpt details, paint PBR materials and render your work—all in one workspace on iPhone and iPad. AI IMAGE TO 3D Start with a reference image and generate a model you can keep editing. Explore characters, figurines and creative objects. You can also begin with primitives or an imported model. Guided tutorials help you find your way around the workspace. SCULPT WITH CONTROL Shape your model with Clay, Clay Strips, Clay Buildup, Standard, VDM, Draw Sharp and Crease brushes. Refine with Smooth, Flatten, Polish, Scrape and Fill; adjust forms with Move, Inflate and Pinch. Masks protect areas while dynamic topology adds detail where you work. BUILD AND SPLIT PARTS Create curved forms with Tube and rotational forms with Lathe. Combine shapes with Boolean tools, remesh your model and separate parts for further editing. AI-assisted part separation is available on compatible devices. PAINT COLOR AND PBR MATERIALS Paint directly on your model and control color, roughness and metallic surfaces. Give the same shape a matte, glossy or metallic appearance. LIGHT AND RENDER Use the realtime PBR viewport to explore your materials. Set key, fill and rim lights, choose studio presets and save lighting with your project. On supported devices, create final images with path tracing and adjust resolution, samples, bounce limits, denoising and exposure. IMPORT AND EXPORT Import OBJ, STL, PLY and GLB meshes, plus STEP/STP, IGES/IGS and BREP CAD files. Export GLB, OBJ, STL, PLY or USDZ for compatible 3D tools, AR and 3D-print preparation. Available material data depends on the file format. AI DEVICE REQUIREMENTS Image-to-3D generation requires a compatible device with at least 8 GB of RAM and an AI model download. Higher-quality generation and AI-assisted part separation require 16 GB of RAM. Available modes depend on your device. The system may pause background generation; return to the app to continue. MOLDORA PRO Access Pro features with an annual subscription or a lifetime purchase. The lifetime option is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Pro includes unlimited AI generation without credits or per-model fees. AI features remain subject to device compatibility and model requirements. Prices, available purchase options and offer eligibility are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.
