Qubism 3D modeling

Qubism lets you design and build simple 3D models using your touch screen device. It does this with digital construction blocks called 'qubes' that can be added, deleted, moved, stretched, sloped, shaped, rotated and coloured with a couple touches.Qubism has been designed from scratch with a dedication on touch operation and performance. Focus on and Zoom in on areas that need work at higher precision and Qubism will accommodate.Exporting and saving Images and Models:Select the 'camera' tool from the leftmost menu and select the file type from the rightmost (tick) menu.•PNG: Show off your model to you friends, should work with any social and photo apps installed•JSON: Share you model with other Android devices running Qubism via email with this option•DAE: Export your model in Collada format to develop it further with tools like Blender or SketchupAll these files can be sent via gmail or saved to SD card if you have an app like 'Send to SD card' installed.Tips:All tools available in the menu only need a single touch to operate but the following shortcuts can speed things up:•Cancel operation in progress: Tap screen with a second finger while the first is still on the screen•Pan, Zoom and rotate: Use two fingers on the screen (e.g. pinch screen)•View: Place two fingers on the screen then remove one•Focus: Place one finger on a qube and tap twice quickly with a second fingerKnown limitations:•Qubes that are too close or two far away from the centre of the red axes will be cropped by OpenGL. Keep the red axes near the area you want to work on using the focus and pan tools before zooming in.•The line removal rendering options are not perfect, it trims outlines where two Qubes meet but this can have unexpected results.•Transparency requires Qubes to be rendered back to front, this is fine when editing but in camera mode this order is only calculated when the rendering mode changes and may be incorrect once you change the view. The new refresh button will appear once you change view and will recalculate the order but artifacts are still possible.•Out of Memory issues can unavoidably occur outside of my control. Qubism will save your model for you and it will have a ? for its thumbnail when you re-enter the application.•Qubism will never be able to load existing 3D file formats (Obj and even DAE) because it would be extremely difficult and often impossible to convert triangles meshes into qubisms internal format.

I like the app, its pretty easy once you figure out, however it's glitchy. Like whenever I use the select tool and try to grabbed alot of something and I try to move it around or paste, ect, it kicks me off of it. And it's not just that one part is the problem, the whole app is pretty glictchy with its options and such. I hope the creator look at this review and use it as an inspiration to make the app even better. Please, I don't want to stop using it just because of this problem.

Really cool. Snapping system works quite well. However, some tools should be more accessible, like curved shapes-feels like it could get its own main menu, and maybe rotating them made easier. Still learning this app though. Good work in general! Update: Running into issues when importing dae to Blender. Blocks are messed up and it takes a lot of time to fix them. For example half of one wall becomes part of other wall

Qubism is fun and easy to use. Important note: Press the Android devices back button to manage or start new files/drawings. The files are auto saved and the app restarts with the last file open, so you need to press that back button to get an overview. Other reviewers complained about missing an option to save to storage, but that's because they didn't find out about the back button, yet! It auto saves to storage.

This app is perfect for any modelling, it's not just for voxel modelling. The easy to understand interface is brilliant. All the tools are perfect to make anything you've ever wanted to model. I would only request a feature called "merge qubes", where if possible, it will merge a set of qubes into one. Also maybe allow people to import custom textures. Then this will be perfect for on-the-go modelling. I know this app is really old but developer, please include these features.

It's so easy to use and you can do so much with it, but there are a few things that should be added, like exporting to .obj files and more options for colours, maybe even adding textures would be great. Even without that, though, It's a great app and I would reccomend it to anyone who wants to get in to 3d modeling.

this app is really good, works great on my pixel 3. it is so easy to make models and very relaxing. i can quickly create an idea with my imagination and then 3d print or create simple clean renderings. 5/5 for this fantastic app id love it if there were more updates but it is so perfect as it is. the only thing I'd add is the ability to use the selection tool to apply a color among many.

Icons are very low resolution and look cheap but I like how I was able to figure out entire App without any English labels anywhere - it's very easy and obvious. It does exactly what you'd expect it to do. Can't export in .obj or .stl formats - that's a big minus.

Although it doesn't have vertex editing, I was amazed by how quickly I could put together a house with a sloped roof. Dae export is extremely useful; will test exports in Blender at a later time. UI design could use some work but is functional. More tool tips would be helpful to accompany vague icons.

Awesome, simple, & no account creation nor internet connection make this intuitive program easy to use and very approachable. Can export to dae, jason and email them, view shading, do a host of 3d manipulation, scale a model, add curvature and other nice goodies. I appreciate the simplicity in the GUI design. Perhaps increase icon resolution, though. They look pixilated and very retro-90s (to me it's a warm nostalgia). It really is a basic modeler that goes straight to the heart of 3d modeling!

This app is super good, but it lacks probably one thing Moving the cube is super hard, especially when you try to combine one cube with another. If you could do something like center point the cube to another, it will be great or vise versa

It's a wonderful app that allows me to model with ease. However, I have some improvements in mind. -Can we make the units multiples of 10 instead of multiples of 2. It would make it really convenient. -Can we also fix lag issues with more qubes so that we(I) can model with more detail.

Very awesome but if once we rotate an object it can't be rotate in an another direction as well for example if we have x,y,z axis and if rotate a rod 45° from x-axis in x-z plane, then we will unable to rotate it 45° from y-axis also, means at one time we will only rotate it from only one axis, we will unable to rotate it like 45°,45°,50° from X,Y,Z, axis respectively . Or if get text box in this it become help full and if get colour texture and any colour choosing option its very helpful. And if have option to set width of 1/4tube like shape it will more helpfully.

GREAT CAD APP. Missing a few options and shapes but other then that the learning curve is stupid easy (no professional CAD training). Tried a lot of apps couldn't figure them out. Download this one hoping it was easy and boom done with my first idea within 24 hours.

This app works good with no bugs and glitches, but i face one problem while creating a 3D model. When i zoom into a particular area of a model , the baground or the remaining areas of the model vanishes - making it difficult to design sometimes, please do find an alternate solution to this problem... I would be happy and satisfied if this problem is solved.... (well good work done by developers👍👍)

It is very cool, good for creative beginners who want to start out simple, although. Is there anyway to warp or change cubes by will, like dragging a corner and warping it's apperance? Or, did you already try to implement it and it either glitched out and you didn't implement it in the game, Or you did.

I use this mainly for modeling speaker boxes and other projects. It does pretty good once you figure out how to use it. My only complaint really is when it comes to designing angled surfaces, this app is not so great.

Whi. W. Sep 13, 2018     

It's a good 3D modeling app, but it lacks certain things. First, it lacks the ability to form shapes from scratch and of the shapes it has, there is no pyramid. Second, there is no option to delete pieces.

Sco. A. Sep 5, 2019     

Is a good app,i really love it for modeling,despite the low memory i couldnt believe what i saw,well work,but there should be a provision for rotating objects,and also roofing,and some 3d animation,like: columns,cars ,beings,flowers,trees,sky and outdoor decorations in your next update

Dea. M. Nov 11, 2019     

A really nice and minimal tiny coded program, a breath of fresh air unlike other apps with massive installs that need always on internet connections and a million and one permissions. Just wish you could map textures to cube faces from your photo gallery or camera. Good work :)

Tha. K. C. Nov 8, 2018     

This is an excellent app. Loved it. Thank you so much. Can you please add more shapes like torus, sphere. Also can we have feature to stitch two shapes, a better color pallette, shadows and lights, 3d texts

Vin. S. Feb 10, 2021     

This app could be so much more than it is. As it is, it's great to fool around or build very simple things. There are ,however, a lot of somewhat basic features missing. Also needs a better UI in some parts.

A. G. u. Dec 14, 2018     

This app is a powerful 3d modelling app but yet of small size. The only drawback is that it can't read json files and dae files created by it. It means that we will not be able to backup and restore our models after reinstalling the app.

Der. D. Feb 3, 2022     

Brilliant! This is by far the best mobile 3d CAD app ive found, easy to understand just wish there were options to had the models lengths displayed alongside each space or something

M. D. Oct 23, 2019     

Love it! i was get a little time to figure out how to use it at begin, but overall it's easy to use, share design a rough draft and not take much memory.

Mat. B. Dec 25, 2018     

Please allow the export of FBX, I have problems with Blender reading DAE files (some vertices are moved very far). If youre wondering why I dont just use blender then I like using drag n drop for simple things not worth the effort of Blender.

Rya. R. L. May 19, 2020     

Hopefully you can add a "make as a group" feature so that i can easily rearrange my stuff without using that super hassle "multi select" comand. Looking forward for its development over all i enjoy the app.

Csa. B. Sep 19, 2020     

Really like this. Id like to have updated icons ;) and a layer/group system to lock up parts/section you have finished. So you wont accedently chance them when trying to move te camera around. Overall i really like it

Det. Jan 28, 2022     

This is absolutely great for its below 5mb size! It works well on my potato phone and has many shapes and tools even with a below 5mb size. And you can make multiple designs with it. Almost as good os most 3D Designers but this one is very light on phones.

Ale. C. Apr 18, 2020     

A great tool for artists. Only wish is a little more fidelity when trying to manipulate/rotate the polygons AND the ability to group things for quicker editing.
