Creature Shenanigans at SXSW 2013

Posted by on March 13, 2013 3 comments

We just got back from a great week of the SXSW (South-By-Southwest) Festival in Austin, TX! There were lots of great speakers and startups, and even better food.

We were there introducing our newest app, 123D Creature and supporting our friends at Instructables and our new partners, MakerBot.  Here's some more coverage of the event.

I've fallen in love with 123D Creature and with one feature in particular - the Render room allows for photographs to be inserted as backgrounds, and is totally fun to scare kids with.   The 123D Gallery is full of insanely good models that users have made on their iPads.  Have a look at some here and try it yourself..!  Just go into the app on your iPad, open your model or one from the gallery, and render using the camera function.  From there, you can share it on our Facebook page!

Looking around in the gallery today, and there's so many cool new models made in 123D Creature.  It's only been out a little over 24 hours since the release and the quality of creations is outstanding. Keep it up, and maybe we'll pull some to print...

New 123D iPad app for creating 3D Creatures!!

Posted by on February 13, 2013 9 comments
We’re excited to announce the launch of Autodesk 123D Creature, a new app on iPad specifically designed for creating 3D creatures and characters! Watch the launch video to see what 123D Creature is all about.

       

Making original characters with Autodesk 123D Creature starts with a simple skeleton creator where you lay out the basic anatomy of your creature. Then thicken, pose, detail, and paint your model using Multi-Touch gestures including sculpting and image paint tools - kind of like 123D Sculpt.

You can order a full color 3D print of your creature from Sculpteo directly from inside the app, or you can export an OBJ including textures via email or iTunes. You can also bring your creature into the Render room where you can adjust the lights, background, and filter effects to generate amazing scenes and images.

And the app is connected to your 123D account, so you can save your creatures to the cloud, and share them with the community.  We’re looking forward to seeing what people create, there are already some amazing creatures in the 123D Gallery from our beta testers.

This is our first single-purpose 123D app, so if you’ve try it out, let us know what you think. Also, 123D Creature is purpose-built for creating creatures, if there’s something there you think would be great to see in other apps, let us know at 123D@autodesk.com.

123D Creature is now available on the App Store at a special price of $1.99 for a limited time!
