About 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 Sketchup
All 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 finger

Known 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.

This is a really cool and simple 3D modeling app.. it's like editing voxels with a few extra features that make it awesome. There is one issue.. namely saving to SD cards doesn't work.. I don't actually have an SD card since I have a Nexus 9, but the OS considers the internal drive to be an SD card (mounted at /emulated/0/sdcard). Because of this.. I can't actually save any of my models to my device.. I have to go through Google drive instead.

I'm blown away by how easy it is to pick up and design with this. I do wish this app had a way to merge objects into one group, or a way to save and load other projects, or start a new one and come back to an incomplete project at a later time

This is a great app for getting into and learning some of the basics of 3D modelling. You can truly make some great things. It's only let done by it's export which Blender (A desktop 3D Modeller) doesn't seem to import correctly.

I've been using this for about a year and it has been great!!! Does what I need it to, never crashes, no ads. I would compare it to Trispectives, a 3D modeling program I used in the 1990s. It doesn't hog my storage or run down my battery. I've never had my work disappear. My greatest thank you to the developers. I have nothing bad to say about this app. Period. It's the best.

Missing basic features, I would pay money for this app if I could combine shapes. This app is extremely fiddly especially when going for higher detail models.

X70%
by X####:

Doesn't even need a tutorial! Easy to use, but take a while to get used to. Please add a way to export designs to .obj and a few more types of shapes such as a half moon tool or the like. Thanks for making a great creation program.

When I try to flip/rotate an obj. (rectangle box center divided in half [27 cube, x12 cube, x18cube] like a horiz. cabinet) it completely bogs down my Note 5 android 6.even with no other user apps running either force closes itself or I have to force close it because it locks up at a non-responsive black screen. I'm Trying to use it as a modular design app (build many things using this one object or a couple hollow objects. Please help, without copy, rotate/flip its no use for that purpose.

I've been looking for a decent mobile modeling app for a couple days now. But I think I'll stop with this one! Very simple, easy to pick up app. Pros: easy to use tools. Intuitive design. Decent amount of different measurements to use. Many shapes. Cons: can be tricky to move and resize things precisely(but better than most apps and can be done). No separate trapezoids or rhombus shapes.

X70%
by X####:

Its size is very less easy to use good graphics anr more options 3D view we can split the cubes change its shape and also mirror copy or same copy can be done. Also we can move the cubes give them colour etc

X70%
by X####:

It's just amazing but please add a gallery so we can work together and see other people's models they made. And please add backup saves so we can keep them safe Incase of a Crash. Also add the ability to add textures please

If I ever read instructions, this app would have been easier to use, perhaps let everyone know the instructions are in screen shots on play store? Otherwise, exactly what I needed, a neat interface with capability to draw 3d objects of any persuasion! Look forward to donating!

by X####:

Really good app..but just throwing this out there. 1. Would be great if you could join cubes and make it one object. 2. Would also be great if you could move objects into another project.

CAUSED PHONE TO FULLY CRASH. HAD TO TAKE BATTERY OUT TO RESTART. OBVIOUSLY MALICIOUS AND DOESN'T WORK OFF LINE.

love this app. I only have problems exporting models from my phone to the tablet, and viceversa.

S70%
by S####:

Very intuitive as well! I figured it all out without even reading anything. Other than some possible UI updates, this app is really awesome! AND free! Thanks, man!

X70%
by X####:

the app is so great, but still need more shape like a pipe, elbow pipe, and else. and the split i think its need more feature too, like a short split, so i can make a hole in the centre of the qube, yeah, something like that. thanks.

Everything is going well, but it is a bit confusing for me. I recommend it to older kids.

Works well and is a good way to quickly model out structures before trying to build them in-game in 7 Days to Die. Would like to be able to change the background color - prefer working to a black background rather than white.

X70%
by X####:

As soon as I started using the app I saw it had potential it's a brilliant fun and easy to use app please keep updating and it would be nice if when you created a big qeube and zoomed in on it you would be able to minus of the blocks

Could really do with text input and additional shapes I'm using it to draw schematics of ducting work so having different icon would be great hopefully they'll add this overall though great app

X70%

Used to use this app lots...can't edit measurements now when using measure tool. It just changes the scale. Useless now :(

X70%
by X####:

The black flickering makes this really frustrating to use, and so does the white "fog" that appears when you zoom in.

Q70%
by Q####:

I love the app but I don't know if it is possible to transfer models between phones to edit on one and continue them on my other phone.

F70%
by F####:

I didn't think I'd like modeling on my tablet, but this app was so intuitive! I can't wait to export my works on to my main rig and develop them further. This app is like an easy 3D sketching app. My one request would be to import or copy and paste qubes from other designs I've made. I'm making a series of ships, and being able to copy over parts that I've already made would make things even better. I've already dropped several hours into this app on the first day, and that's more than even most games live tried on the Android. Well done!

Needs way more shapes. And a custom cutting tool to sculpt your custom drawing. Shape tool is buggy. Tried making a shape to resize the design of a project and for some reason, it added another smaller shape that I can't get rid of. Also when you zoom in to create a project, the project disappears until you zoom out. I think that there should be a cube filter tool to select which size cubes you want.

Excellent for mocking up models on the fly. I've chucked together concepts for a few things in minutes which I'm hoping to smooth out or re-create in blender. Simple and well implemented controls, only a couple of minutes to figure out, Perfect for its purpose!

N70%
by N####:

great app, easy and intuitive. the move functionis a bit glitchy. and sometimesthe snap to grid is too big so you have to zoom in very close. Would love to see layer support as designs can get a bit busy. also joining qubes wouldbe good.

As a person that travels alot without a laptop computer, this makes 3d models i need to make really eazy! The interface is very basic, and i got the hang of it in a few minutes. I highly recomend this to anyone else that needs to quickly make a simple model and export it to a computer.

Im starting out in the 3d drawing world and at first i was disappointed and had a hard time figuring things out but after a few minutes things started making sense to me and now i can actually make what i want

This app is awesome for creating anything you can think of. And super simple to use. I'm a steel fabricator this comes in handy all the time when I need to quickly draw something up and don't want to bust out the lap top and mess with cad. And it's free! Thanks for an awesome easy to use app

I couldn't find a way to make a triangle shape though, and how does one save? I finally realized it's auto saved, but it was stressful getting to that realization!

i have been looking for an easy to use app like this for ever and a day. you are genius. there is only one thing that would make it perfect, and that is in the selection option, if you could select the cubes that you want and join them together to make it one object, other than that, this is easily app of the year. well done sir.

I was looking for a 3d modling app and this came up. It's a little hard to learn but it's really useful. I love putting my ideas out with this. The software is not so user friendly but for a free app it's great

This app is great. The only downside is you can split a cube but I haven't found a way to join cubes to make one unit. Of there is, please tell me how. If not, please add it.

It's assome once you get the hang off it. And can you add a strobe light effect and reguar light, that would rock! Whith a on off switch . Please do it on next update.

I've been using this app on nexus 7 tablets and droid maxx phones to draw up plans that can be colored by layer and task. I can form the 2x4 studs and bracing with one color and place with exact measurements. I'd recommend this app, even after using autocad and Google sketchup, I still prefer this quick and easy design app.

Its very easy to make 3d designs ,its very useful for construction and painting people thank u guys,will u update this version by adding some other shapes ,shapes is very less and confusing by rotating it,plz update guys

Wouldn't it be better to have the current "pan/rotate" to move and just use one finger to pan/rotate? Then use 2 fingers to zoom the same. Seems more intuitive to me. Maybe add an option to toggle between control types?
