Sage Dollmaker app for iPhone and iPad

With this app you can design your very own whimsical little people!

These creations do not just live within your screen- they can be sent right to your home! They can be made in in all shapes and sizes, fat and thin, tall and short, with all kinds of colors of skin, hair and eyes, and dramatic hats and clothing. They can even have wings!

First, touch the Dice button to get a new random figurine. Keep touching it till you see one you kind of like. Along the right side of the screen is a list of the assorted body parts and items of clothing on the figurine. Touch each button to select a particular part of the figurine for editing, or "Whole" to select the whole figurine.

If you touch the Dice button when one part is selected, then only that part will change randomly.

If you want more control than just random, follow the instructions in the prompt on the bottom to stroke the screen to change the width and height of that part.

Some of the parts are in all caps in the list- HAT, HEAD, NECK, TORSO, and LEGS. That is because those parts have a special proportional relationship to each other. When you stroke up or down with one of those parts selected, you can make that part taller or shorter in relation to the other parts- meaning, all of those parts change accordingly. If you want to make one of those parts very large or small, you need to adjust the other parts too.

The Gear button brings up the Properties Dialog box with some things you can edit for the selected part, such as the color and the pattern. Different parts can have different options. When "Whole" is selected, there are options that apply to the whole doll, such as smoothing, size and tint, and options for the app, such as units of measure and your preferred currency.

Touch the Smile button to bring up the Face Editing screen. Try each button to see how the face changes- there are lots of options, and more will be coming with future updates. Just like for the figurine body, the Face Editor has a random button. You can also touch all arround the eyebrows, eyes, and mouth to reshape them directly. When you have a face you like, touch the OK button, or cancel to discard the changes.

From the File Menu you can open or save the figurines. You can send pictures of the figurines to your friends, or post them online.

When you are done, be sure to Save, and then Make the figurine! The actual figurines are hollow, and open from the bottom- like an upside down vase. Since it is open from the bottom, you can make Angels to put on top of Xmas trees! They are also translucent, so they look fantastic lit from inside with a small LED light.

I hope you enjoy these adorable 3D printed figures!
