Opinion - Polydust Ipad App for 3D polygon modeling


#1

Hello everybody! :slight_smile:
Together with my team, after 2.5 years of development, we created Polydust - the first 3D polygon modeling for iPad.

I am asking for opinions ?
what did you think about that?

here you can get free 3d models:

I would say that people that work in the industry probably aren’t your customers since I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do modeling on an iPad when they know they can do so much better with a full 3D software on a PC

Interesting opinion but they do not always have access to them, for example during travel.
With Polydust you can work wherever you want.

You can do that with a laptop. The situation where a professional would want to use an iPad modeling app is very unlikely, they’d have to be in a situation where they wouldn’t have access to their workstation or a laptop where they really need to be doing modeling work, they’d have to have whatever files they wanted to work on, and it’d have to be something that isn’t more complicated than what the app can handle. That’s an extremely rare event.

Typical CGSociety reply above - “Nobody needs that”. :poop::poop::poop:

This is the site, after all, that used to tell people “I takes 10 years to get good at 3D” and “You can’t do anything on your own. You must have a 30 person team for that.”

I’m sure that there will be plenty of iPad users who DO need a mobile poly modeling app.

I came very close to buying an Android tablet just to use Spacedraw. I waited to see if it would be updated, but now it looks to be discontinued. I have way more powerful tools on my workstation, but 3D will always be a hobby as well. I would like to have a nice 3D tool for a tablet comparable to something like Anim8or or Art of Illusion, something that works well within its known limitations. Might be nice for sketching ideas, or for creating rough shapes that could be refined later. I don’t think every tool has to be superior to every existing tool just to justify its existence. I’d be surprised if many users of high end tools don’t occasionally unwind with something like Sculptris or Magicavoxel during their down time.

Again, there might be some people interested in that, but probably not professional 3D artists


#8

Will try out the the free version…but subscription only makes it a no go for me.


#9

I think I may be among the minority who would actually like to have a pro-grade or capable 3D program on the iPad. this is because not all artists can afford a good workstation. I really like to be mobile yet have an app that is capable.

In my opinion definitely shows promise as an educational tool, possibly prep and elementary level especially but for production environments on it’s own probably not. Also personally the subscription model would be a deal breaker even as a hobbyist/part time freelancer because once funds become available too enable a total soft - hardware upgrade I’ll be paying a small fortune to routinely access current gen tools across the board. However kudos nonetheless, takes a mountain of dedication let alone effort developing an application toward completion.

Cheers.
