What is 123D Sculpt?
123D Sculpt is a free 3D modeling and sculpting application from Autodesk that runs on the iPad and iPhone. It allows users to create and manipulate 3D models as if sculpting with real clay. The interface uses touch gestures to pull, pinch, and twist virtual clay to turn 2D sketches into 3D models.
Key features of 123D Sculpt include:
- Intuitive sculpting interface for molding 3D models using touch gestures
- Symmetry mode to easily create symmetrical shapes
- Various clay, mirror, and matcap materials to customize the look and feel of models
- Import SVG files or start from primitive 3D shapes like spheres and cubes
- Dynamic tessellation engine that adds geometric details on the fly
- Share creations with the 123D community or export models to other 3D software
With its easy learning curve and simple yet powerful toolset, 123D Sculpt makes 3D modeling accessible for hobbyists, artists, designers, and anyone who wants to unleash their creativity in three dimensions.
