Features of Monster Mash
Monster Mash Basic Functions
- Sketch-based interface: Monster Mash uses a unique sketch-based interface that allows users to create 3D models by drawing 2D shapes and strokes that are automatically converted to 3D geometry.
- Intuitive Editing Tools: Once basic shapes are created, users can manipulate and refine their 3D models using a variety of intuitive editing tools, including push, pull, twist, and more.
- Animation Tools: Monster Mash comes with a variety of pre-built animation tools, such as walk cycles, idle animations, etc., that users can use to animate their 3D models. Users can also create their own custom animations using the timeline editor.
- Export Options: Once a Monster Mash 3D animation is complete, users can export it to a variety of file formats, including FBX, OBJ, and GLTF, which can be used in a wide range of 3D applications.
- Cross-platform compatibility: Monster Mash is a web-based tool that runs in the browser, making it compatible with a wide range of operating systems and devices.
Monster Mash 3D Modeling
- Monster Mash 3D Modeling is unique in that it is based on sketching. Instead of requiring users to create 3D objects from scratch using complex technical tools, Monster Mash allows users to create a rough 2D sketch of the object they want to create, and then use machine learning algorithms to convert the sketch into a 3D object.
How to use Monster Mash?
When using Monster Mash, there is no need to register an account, and you can directly enter the demo homepage.
- Create 3D models by drawing 2D shapes and strokes using a sketch-based interface.
- After drawing a shape, use intuitive editing tools to inflate it until it appears as the 3D model you want.
- Animate your 3D models with pre-built animation tools, or create your own custom animations with the timeline editor.
- Once you’re satisfied with your 3D model and animation, you can export it to a variety of file formats, including FBX, OBJ, and GLTF, which you can then choose to use with other 3D software tools. If not satisfied, click the “Redraw” button to redraw the shape.
