Lingua is where you make a language and then actually use it. YOUR SCRIPT Draw each letter with your finger. Lingua compiles your letters into a real font on your phone, and gives you a keyboard with your letters on the keys to type with in the app. You can also build keyboards of any existing characters (accented letters, IPA, symbols, other scripts) and use them in any app, free and as many as you like. Alphabet, abjad, syllabary, abugida or logography, written in any direction. Digits are letters too, in whatever base you choose. YOUR LANGUAGE A dictionary where every word has meanings, part of speech, examples, register and origin. Readings and IPA. A phonology page built from what you have written. A grammar of 44 chapters — cases, agreement, word order, negation, questions, derivation — whose rules really conjugate: describe a pattern once and every word in that class follows it. A calendar with your own month and weekday names, a notebook, and CSV import for a list you already have. A PLACE TO USE IT A timeline where people post lines in their own languages, in their own letters. Each post carries its letter shapes with it, so anyone can read your script without your font, and every post has a gloss so people can follow and reply even to a language nobody else speaks yet. Replies and threads, following, tags, a daily prompt everyone answers in their language, photos with your letters drawn on them, a 30-second voice clip, and a card that turns one line into a picture to share. Publish your language's page, and download the alphabet or dictionary of a language you like, to read. FREE AND PAID Free: a full a–z and 0–9 script, one language, a dictionary of 100 words, as many keyboards as you like, and the whole timeline. Plus and Pro add more letters, more words and more languages. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled.

BRING YOUR TABLETOP LEGENDS TO LIFE IN MINUTES You've spent hours designing the perfect villain or hero for your next tabletop campaign. But finding the right miniature off the shelf is impossible, modular hero builders are too rigid, and hiring a custom 3D artist costs hundreds of dollars and takes weeks. MeshForge 3D bridges the gap between your imagination and your 3D printer. Using state-of-the-art generative AI, MeshForge transforms simple text prompts and 2D character sketches into high-fidelity, 3D-printable miniatures in under 60 seconds. WATERTIGHT & SLICER-READY GEOMETRY Most AI 3D generators produce paper-thin surfaces and messy meshes that fail in your slicer. MeshForge is engineered specifically for 3D printing: • Automated Topology Inspection: Instantly checks for holes, non-manifold edges, and mesh integrity before you print. • Guaranteed Watertight Solids: Export manifolds engineered for clean slicing with zero pre-print mesh repairing required. • Standard RPG Sizing: Scale your figures accurately to standard tabletop proportions: 28mm, 32mm Heroic, 54mm, or 75mm display stature. TWO WAYS TO FORGE 1. Prompt to 3D: Describe your character's armor, race, pose, and weapons. Watch the forge sculp your concept layer-by-layer in the interactive 3D viewport. 2. Sketch to 3D: Snap a photo of your hand-drawn character concept or digital illustration. MeshForge interprets depth, anatomy, and drapery to generate a matching 3D sculpt. INTERACTIVE 3D INSPECTOR • 360° Turntable Orbit: Inspect every angle, fold of cloth, and blade edge before exporting. • Clay & Texture Modes: Toggle between clay render mode to evaluate physical shadows and detailed texture preview. • Density Controls: Optimize polycount from 10k up to 300k triangles to match your printer's resolution. READY FOR RESIN & FDM PRINTING Export industry-standard 3D files directly from your iPhone or iPad: • STL: The universal standard for Lychee, Chitubox, Bambu Studio, and PrusaSlicer. • OBJ & GLB: Complete with materials for virtual tabletop tokens (VTT) and digital renderers. • USDZ: Place your miniature right on your physical gaming table with native AR preview. JOIN THE COMMUNITY FORGE Browse the Discover feed to explore hundreds of community-crafted creatures, NPCs, and monsters. Remodulate, customize, and forge fresh variations for your weekend gaming session. Stop settling for generic miniatures. Fire up the forge and print the exact character you imagined. --- Privacy Policy: https://meshforge3d.com/privacy Account Deletion Request: https://meshforge3d.com/privacy#delete-account Terms of Use: https://meshforge3d.com/terms Support: support@meshforge3d.com
