DGArt creates a .scn file. This is the data structure used to store the geometry, nodes, lights, and camera. This format can be used in the Playgrounds App for your apps or games.
Please refer to SceneKit in the Apple Developer Documentation for more details.

Main Features:

• 3D Scene Editor
• Polygon Modeller mode
• Render Beautiful Images
• Layer panel
• Object property panel
• Material property panel
• Light property panel
• Camera property panel
• Global Environment property panel
• Image library
• Works great with Apple Pencil
• Support for realistic physically-based rendering
• Save scene into .scn [SceneKit] format
• Export to .usdz/.obj format
• Native app and small size
• Simple UI and easy to use

DGArt is an application for creative minds who want to venture into the world of 3D art or games.

PolyHouse ► USDZ ► Blender Render

Universal Scene Description (USD) is a framework for interchange of 3D computer graphics data. The framework focuses on collaboration, non-destructive editing, and enabling multiple views and opinions about graphics data. USD is used in many industries including visual effects, architecture, design, robotics and CAD. .usdz, a package file which is a zero-compression, unencrypted zip archive, which may contain usd, usda, usdc, png, jpeg, m4a, mp3, and wav files.

SCN file to Playgrounds App

• The .scn file can be used in the Playgrounds app, allowing you to create your own custom 3D apps or games on your iPad.

RT:Render [beta] Ray Trace Render Available in version 1.5 and later.

Experience Realistic Lighting: Unveiling the Power of Ray Tracing for Stunning Images

Ray tracing has transformed the way we render images, bringing an unparalleled level of realism to scenes and objects. By accurately simulating reflections, refractions, shadows, and indirect lighting, ray tracing delivers results that mimic the complexities of real-world lighting.

The magic of ray-traced lighting is its ability to craft lifelike shadows. The edges of shadows are softened, and intricate details are brought to life, enriching the visual experience like never before.

Render Image:
• Render Beautiful Images with Ray Tracing and save to Camera Roll.
• Support basic reflection, reflection blur and transparency.
• Ambient light support.
• Area light for soft shadow and direct light for hard shadow with maximum 2 light shadows.

Quick Start: Press the "Render" button to initiate rendering. The rendering process will begin, and you should wait until the noise on the image becomes clear. Then, press "Pause" and save the image. The image will be directly saved to the camera roll.

Rendering Quick Example

* Some of the features are not supported in RT:Render [beta], including certain geometry types such as SubD objects with edge creases, texture objects, as well as Omni light and Spot light.
