and mold it into forms that you design. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Check out the video below to see how it works.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dIuRnaym_hQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite features&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Symmetry:<\/strong> I appreciate the\u00a0symmetry feature in the tool. \u00a0 123D Sculpt works well when you are creating something organic looking. \u00a0In nature, symmetry is everywhere! \u00a0The symmetry feature enables you to mold and paint one half of the object. \u00a0 Your changes will be mirrored on the other side of the object.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Downloading model files:<\/strong> If you publish your 3D model to the community, you can download the model files for printing. \u00a0 To learn more about this procedure, please refer to the <a href=\"http:\/\/forum.123dapp.com\/123d\/topics\/3d_model_export_purchased_the_app_but_dont_see_it\" target=\"_blank\">following link<\/a>. \u00a0 In a future paid edition, I would imagine that AutoDesk will probably enable you to download your model without publishing to the community.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kid friendly:<\/strong> I have let my kids make stuff with 123D sculpt. \u00a0Sometimes, they just like to move around the 3D model and color it. \u00a0 Other times the kids surprise me with their\u00a0own creations like space ships, dinosaurs, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Textures:<\/strong> You can really improve a 3D model through textures. \u00a0 The tool comes with a library of textures for eyes, fur, feathers, hair, faces, skin, and more. \u00a0 You can also create your own textures using your photos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I would like to see this\u00a0app come to Android devices as well. \u00a0 I think I would gladly pay for this app if it enabled me to export my 3D models without using the &#8220;community share&#8221; feature.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I think this is a fun way to introduce 3D modeling to makers. \u00a0 Whether you&#8217;re young or old, you&#8217;ll find this tool engaging. \u00a0I can imagine this tool being used in video game design and 3d printing projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What sort of 3D Modeling do you enjoy doing? \u00a0What tools are you excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Join the\u00a0<a style=\"font-weight: inherit;
