Professional 3D modeling on tablets and smartphones is viable finally!

- Major new version of Spacedraw available, further extensive updates to follow soon and regularly

Spacedraw

• is a full-featured 3D-modeling program for all Android tablets and smartphones

• is developed from scratch to make use of multi-touch and motion-sensors throughout

• introduces novel ways of viewing, drawing & modeling

 

Features include

• CAD construction

• advanced polygon & patch modeling

• lighting & texture mapping

• 3d-painting

 

Since the release in October 2012, Spacedraw has proved suitable for creating professional artwork, see the images below, done 100% with Spacedraw on a 4" smartphone (using beta versions of the new release).

However, Spacedraw was not developed further for over a year, and serious bugs and shortcomings prevented its application in real-world projects. This will change with the release of today, that fixes over 20 serious bugs and adds more than 10 important features, e.g.

• orthographic projection

• backface culling

• freezing objects

• unselect tools

• repeated extrude

• completely redesigned reference CS management

 

The further development runs at full speed now, next updates soon will bring

• fundamental usability improvements

• interactive help and tutorials

• substantial performance increase

• stylus support

• a complete revision of the painting tools

• a multitude of new functionalities, e.g. advanced rendering capabilities, boolean operations

• full-featured animation

 

Suggestions for improvements are highly welcome and will be taken seriously!
