Set Building

FirstStage contains a Sketchup-style 3d modelling and texturing tool.

You can model by drawing a shape on the ground with the Sketcher, then cut and extrude faces, or manipulate edges and vertices to turn a simple cube into any manner of shape. OR, you can create shapes and attach them to each other using the Grouper tool until you have assembled what you want.

New 3d objects created can be saved to your Asset Library via the Inspector.

Sketching 3d Shapes

Sketching and moving 3d objects.

Manipulating 3d Objects

Scaling an object, or translating (moving) and rotating it along all three axis.

Manipulating Edges and Vertices on 3d Objects

Manipulating 3d objects with one or two hands with distance grab or proximity grab.

Cutting Faces

Dividing faces and creating extrusions, indents and holes inside faces.

Painting 3d Sketches

Spray painting sketched 3d objects with the Airbrush
