I cool update you could do is to allow layers while having animation assist on I feel like it could be super helpful,

[minipinkrosa]

very helpful! I wonder if I import the folder as the tutorial says, we will be able to paint the object in pieces and not collectively

You really need to go into depth about converting files into usdz. Or better yet, allow procreate to import fbx files

[HuntsForge]

Works really nicely with nomad sculpt.

[gridvid]

Will there be a fbx import option down the line?

I keep checking on this and I just can't use it until there's an unlit or shadeless mode.

I’m coming from Substance 3D Painter to Procreate. What’s the best way to export/convert an .SPP or .OBJ from Substance so I can use fully in Procreate?

[Kdkk]

The “download 3D model pack” how does that work?

Hello, can we also animate them in procreate? Thanks

[ashnamitruka]

To import we need to make them right ¿

[AnyaZeb]

When will this be available in Procreate Pocket? When will sound be available for the animation feature in Procreate Pocket? Also, I am left handed, and when I try to draw or erase, the control buttons for that are on my left side so sometimes I erase something on accident or it changes size of the brush or the eraser. I was wondering if there’s anything I can do for that? Sorry about all of these questions by the way, I would just like to know 🙂

I don't have the folder that y'all are talking about

[KVergot]

I was able to drop the folder with the OBJ and texture files, but they are not displaying correctly. I cannot find any helpful resources about this process. Please help.
