TopMod vs Tile Studio

TopMod is a topological mesh modeler for sculpting intricate, high-genus 3D surfaces right on your iPhone and iPad. Build handles, holes, and complex manifold geometry in real time, then export your creations as OBJ files to use in any 3D pipeline. A focused, self-contained tool for artists, designers, and anyone who loves the mathematics of form.

Draw any shape and watch it become a pattern that tiles the plane perfectly, with no gaps and no overlaps. Tile Studio lets anyone create Escher-style tessellations. No math knowledge required. AUTOMATIC CONVERSION Sketch an outline with your finger and the app computes the closest shape that is guaranteed to tile the plane. Pick your favorite from the candidates. INTUITIVE TILE EDITING Tap an edge to add a point, then drag. Opposite edges move together automatically, so the tiling never breaks. Supports translation, 180° rotation, and diagonal reflection symmetries. DECORATE YOUR TILES Draw eyes, wings, and other details right on your tiles. Two alternating decoration patterns let creatures in different colors line up just like in Escher's art. Includes a pen, a stamp, and a drag-to-erase eraser. Rotate the whole artwork to any angle. MAKE IT YOURS - Customize the checkerboard colors and line color - Save color palettes and apply them with one tap - Works are saved automatically and can be reopened anytime - Friendly hints explain how tiling works EXPORT AND SHARE Export your patterns as SVG or PNG - great for wallpapers, fabric, wrapping paper, and laser cutting. TILE STUDIO PRO (one-time purchase) - Custom line color and width - High-resolution PNG (4096px) and transparent PNG export - No ads For math lovers, designers, and curious kids alike. Discover the wonder of shapes that tile.
