Morphi is a (sort of) free app for the iPad, Mac, and Windows devices that lets users push, pull, and craft 3D creations via a touchpad device.

Its simple nature makes it ideal for starting kids out in the world of 3D modeling and showcasing their work — with tools such as stop motion and AR/VR to name a few.

The app has been out for quite a while now, receiving a slew of updates since its 2014 release on the iPad. In its newest 3.4 patch, Morphi has added 3D visualization/rendering tools which now allows users to add and edit textures onto 3D models, put in some basic object lighting, and type in an object’s dimensions, position and rotation.

The features are fairly self-explanatory; adding and editing textures allows you to import images via your camera, making your kids’ models feel more personal (even if they decide to decorate them with your house wallpaper).

Lighting is probably one of the easier 3D modeling concepts to explain to a child; just point the light source where you want it to shine, and you get different exposure values and shadows.

This is a very small behemoth of an online community about 3D CAD, technology, design, robots, ninjas… Ok, maybe not ninjas so much, but those guys are COOL so there just might be something about some dang ninjas. Besides the occasional blast of intensely cool product design and technology, we look at what’s going on in the world of 3D, add a splash of business insight and web tech into the mix and there ya got your SolidSmack.
