Finally, you can add colors with the airbrush, giving your creation a vibrant and polished look.
The app also includes a render room where you can bring your 3D creature to life. This feature allows you to generate amazing images to share with your friends and social media followers. The render room provides various lighting and background options to enhance the visual appeal of your creature.
“Bring your 3D creature into the render room to generate amazing images to share with your friends. Use the in-app printing service to order a 3D print of your creature, or export your 3D model complete with textures.”
3D Printing and Sharing
One of the standout features of the Autodesk 123D Creature App is its integration with 3D printing services.
