Mixos vs Meld

Mixos is a 3D creative suite that runs on your iPhone and iPad. Five apps, one account: scan something real, sculpt a form, texture it, build it into a scene, and turn a flat mark into a 3D logo. SCAN — capture something real • Stand an object on a plain surface and walk around it, and your phone builds a textured 3D model — all on the device, nothing uploaded • Or scan a whole room, a wall or a car as you walk through it • Turn a finished scan over in 3D before you send it anywhere • Open it in Studio to build with, or in Paint to texture • Needs a device with a LiDAR sensor PAINT — texture your models • Paint straight onto the 3D model with your finger or Apple Pencil, or work on the flat UV map • Every stroke lands in a real PBR layer stack — base colour, roughness, metallic, normal and height — so what you paint is what a render engine sees • Layers with masks, blend modes and per-layer opacity • Height-aware material blending, so rust settles into crevices the way it should • A library of ready-made materials and brush tips MOLD — sculpt the form • Push, pull and smooth geometry with a full sculpting brush set • Symmetry, masking and remeshing • Send a finished sculpt straight into Paint to texture it STUDIO — build the scene • A real scene graph: parent objects, transform them, arrange a shot • Polygon modelling on the mesh itself — extrude, inset, bevel, loop cut, bridge and more • Keyframe animation on a timeline • Light and shade the whole scene, not one object at a time LOGO — a flat mark, in 3D • Open a ready-made mark and give it real depth, bevelled edges and materials • Every colour becomes its own layer, so the mark comes apart in space • Describe a mark instead, or bring your own artwork — both use AI credits from your plan SEE IT IN YOUR ROOM Put a model on the table in front of you in AR, in Apple's own viewer. Walk around it, and pinch to set the size. Free on every plan. BRING YOUR OWN MODELS Import .glb, .gltf, .fbx, .obj, .ply, .stl, .dae and .3mf and start working on them straight away. MAKE MATERIALS WITH AI Describe what you want — rusted steel, glazed ceramic, worn leather — and get a tiling PBR material, texture or mask you can paint with. TAKE YOUR WORK OUT Export a finished texture set, material or model and save it straight to Files, or send it on with the share sheet. (Pro and Max.) YOUR WORK GOES WITH YOU Projects sync to your Mixos account automatically. Start something on the train, open it on your desktop, keep going. SUBSCRIPTIONS Mixos Pro — $8.99 per month, or $71.88 per year • 50 AI credits every month • 25 GB of cloud storage • AI materials, textures, masks and 3D models • Export finished textures, materials and models • Your AI generations stay private Mixos Max — $17.99 per month, or $167.88 per year • 150 AI credits every month • 50 GB of cloud storage • AI materials, textures, masks and 3D models • Export finished textures, materials and models • Your AI generations stay private Painting, sculpting, modelling and viewing in AR are free on every plan. Exporting your files needs Pro or Max. Without a subscription you get 100 MB of cloud storage and 10 one-time trial AI credits, and your generations are shared to the public Community library rather than kept private. Mixos needs an account so your work is saved. Mixos Pro and Mixos Max are auto-renewing subscriptions, sold with a one-month or one-year term. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and renews automatically for the same period and price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

Meld is a polygon modeler and texture painter built for iPad and iPhone. Topology editing tools, rebuilt for use with touch and Apple Pencil. MODELING Extrude, Inset, Bevel, Loop Cut, Knife, Edge Slide and Subdivide. Extrude along the region, the normals or each face individually. Bevel edges or vertices with adjustable segments and profile shape. Cut loops with even spacing and slide them into place. Every tool opens a settings panel after you commit, so you can dial in an exact amount, add a segment, or change a profile without undoing and starting again. Move, rotate and scale with gizmos in global or local orientation, or transform freely with an axis constraint when you need one direction only. TOPOLOGY Split, separate, dissolve and delete across every selection mode. Fill and bridge edges. Merge vertices by distance or at their center. Flip normals, shade smooth or flat, join objects together. Full undo and redo on everything. PAINTING Paint color directly onto your model with Apple Pencil, using pen pressure. Roughness, metallic and emissive channels let a surface read as worn metal, wet plastic or a glowing sign. Unwrap UVs with smart unwrap. LIGHTING AND RENDERING Point, spot, directional and area lights. Place cameras, frame a shot at the aspect ratio you want, and capture it. Ray traced shadows and reflections on supported devices. Import reference images to model against. Fly through your scene or orbit it, in perspective or orthographic, with instant front, side and top views. FILES Import and export OBJ, glTF, GLB and USDZ. Export a single object or the whole scene. Exporting models requires Meld Pro. Scenes autosave as you work, and the file browser shows a real 3D preview of every one. Your files stay on your device, and export to formats every other tool already speaks.
