Import existing models or start with any of 15 built-in primitive shapes: plane, box, circle, tube, cylinder, capsule, sphere, helix, and others.
Helpful Gizmos make it intuitive to select, move, scale, and rotate meshes, faces, edges, and vertices, as well as allow you to extrude, inset, bevel, poke, crease, and cut. You can accelerate modeling with multiple selections for nodes or mesh components, use non-destructive modifiers, and apply complex transformations. And of course, there are plenty of mesh operations including subdivide, center pivot, transform, duplicate, instance, dissolve, collapse, delete, bridge, merge, separate, and more.

While offering a large variety of tools, only the relevant ones are shown when you need them, thanks to Valence 3D's minimal and fluid interface.
Navigating your scene is easy with the intelligent camera controller. Zoom in on your selection with auto-focus, or easily reset your camera with the home button. Easily adjust transforms, materials, modifiers, and other display properties within the Inspector and configure your objects with renaming, hiding, or locking via Outliner.

There are several powerful rendering modes: x-ray, diffuse, wireframe, physically-based, and path-traced. You can also preview your model in AR with 2 taps, tweak the materials, and see changes in real time.
Final models can be exported in various 3D file formats including USDZ for a consistent look across all Apple devices, and you can save the renders in any aspect ratio directly into the camera roll. Add an Apple Pencil to your setup to accelerate your workflow and design on mobile, while the app keeps all your projects organized and up to date across all your devices.

A single purchase unlocks both the iPhone and iPad versions. As for the Android release, the developers plan to work on it in a few years, when Valence 3D is more stable.
There's also a user manual and a series of video tutorials that will help artists get started with the app, as well as a public Discord server in the works. In the meantime, follow the developers on X/Twitter to keep tabs on any announcements and updates.
Valence 3D is currently available on the App Store at $29.99.
