Field notes
The described workflow includes more than surface finishes: a height image can shape coin-like relief within an outline, and designs can have two sides and reeded edges. The site lists both presentation exports and 3D formats, including MOV, GLB, and USDZ. It says the library syncs through the user’s own iCloud; the Mac version also has a local MCP-server connection for named coding agents.
