The Jester made with 123dCreature on an iPad
Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 11:18PM Hats off to Autodesk for a really amazing piece of software, 123dCreature, which is a 3d sculpting and painting tool that runs on the iPad. While the way it handles 'bones' takes a little getting used to, for the pricetag of $8 they'll get no complaints from me. It runs very smoothly on my iPad3, though I have noticed that it causes the device to run a bit hot, and drains the battery quickly.
The 3d viewer on the 123d site is a nice touch as well, allowing you to show off a 3d model on your own site or elsewhere. The image at the bottom is a composite of the render, and some additional painting done in Procreate, as I wanted to keep it on the iPad. I wasn't 100% happy with the hands on the creature, and adding wings made it look a bit topheavy...all in all, I enjoyed making the model this way, and I am pleased with the end result.
