Check the shape before paying for paint

A grey shape for 20 credits; paint it for 10 more only if you like it.

The paint is part of what a model costs. If the shape is what matters most — for printing, say — you can see it in grey first and decide afterwards whether to paint it.

Step by step

1. On 3D model, open Advanced options and tick Preview the shape first.
2. Tap Preview shape — 20 credits. You get the shape in grey.
3. Like it? Tap Texture this model → (10 credits).
4. Not the shape you wanted? Tap Try another shape — free. You get one free redo per preview.
