iTracer for iPhone

iTracer is a 3D modeling and rendering application for the iPhone that enables the end user to model objects from basic primitives manipulating their profiles and edit down to per-vertex normals. Then you can you render your models in high-quality images complete with transparency, refraction, shadows, reflection and self-illumination.

iTracer interface

This little iPhone application includes a full material editor with several types of adjustments including the items just mentioned above. You can cast shadows from multiple light sources and use procedural objects like spheres and boxes for infinite precision.

solids modeling

Using Apple’s multi-touch interface on the iPhone you interact with the modeling process via typical modeling tools such as translate, rotate, scale, revolve and extrude. With simple touch movements with your finger you snap to an adaptive grid. Once modeling is complete you can render your images out and save them to the iPhone’s Photos Library where it can be synced back to your Mac or PC. iTracer cost just 3.99.USD and a new license gets you all future updates for free. If iTracer becomes the new SketchUp of the iPhone that early license could be worth quite a bit in future updates.
