Autodesk Ships 123D Creature for iPad
 SAN
FRANCISCO, CA, Feb 14, 2013 - Autodesk, Inc. unveiled Autodesk 123D Creature, a new iPad app that gives anyone
the ability to create and 3D print amazing 3D characters. Inspired by the same
technology preferred by professional designers and 3D artists, Autodesk 123D
Creature makes getting started as easy as drawing a stick figure.“Now, for
the first time, 123D Creature makes it easy for
anyone to create a sophisticated creature on an
iPad, and then have a 3D print delivered to
their doorstep with a few swipes of their
finger,” said Samir Hanna, vice president of
Consumer Products at Autodesk. “With our 123D
family of apps, we strive to put powerful 3D
technology into the hands of anyone who wants to
be creative, and we look forward to seeing the
original creatures people will create and share
with the community.”
Create and Showcase Incredible
Creature Features
 Making
original characters with Autodesk 123D Creature
starts with a simple skeleton creator where
users lay out the basic anatomy of their
creature in digital clay. Multi-Touch gestures
allow users to thicken, stretch and sculpt their
creature with many of the tools familiar to
users of the popular 123D Sculpt app. Once
finished sculpting and shaping, a creature can
be airbrushed or adorned with decals and
textures imported from the user’s iPad photo
library. To show off a finished creation, users
can bring the creature into the render room
where they can customize lighting and shadows,
apply filters, and import background photos to
generate amazing images to share with their
friends.
Users who want a sculpture of their
masterpiece that they can hold in their hand,
can order a 3D print of their creature, with a
few steps, that will be mailed to them from
Sculpteo’s 3D printing services embedded within
the app. Artists can also enhance their
characters at a professional level in other
Autodesk 3D visual effects and animation
software including Autodesk Maya and Autodesk
3ds Max.
The Autodesk 123D Creature App is exclusively
available from the App Store on iPad or at
http://appstore.com/AutodeskInc/123DCreature.
The retail price of app will be priced at US
$7.99, but at launch, the app will be offered at
a special price of $1.99 for a limited time.
