What’s new
What’s new in uMake 10.
An AI Design Partner that builds editable 3D, a live AI render beside your model, a board that works in layers, and scenes that move. Here’s what’s in the update.
For iPad and iPhone with iPadOS or iOS 17.6 or later, and a Mac with Apple silicon.
NewAI Design Partner
An AI partner that builds editable 3D.
Chat with the AI Design Partner in the 3D editor, and it builds and edits geometry right on your canvas, from your words or a reference image. What it makes is real, editable 3D that you keep modeling.
- Floor plans from a plan image
- Attach a plan, and it builds measured walls and openings, rotated plans and concave rooms, up to three stories with slabs and straight or U stairs.
- Objects that stay editable
- Walls, doors, windows, stairs, roofs, columns and furniture keep their names, so you can ask for changes in a later turn.
- Build detail
- Choose Quick for the essential shape, Detailed for finer features, or leave it on Automatic.
- Exact sizes, in words
- Ask for a precise change, such as setting a vase’s height to 30 cm.
- In Spaces too
- Ask it to put all the furniture on its own layer and lock it, cut out objects, or arrange your layers.
- Speak instead of typing
- Tap the microphone, say what you want, and tap again to send. It works in Scene Studio too.
- Start from a brief
- On uMake’s home, describe a project or attach a photo, or pick Room / Interior, Product Stage, Booth / Stage or Site Study. A few taps set it up, and the design assistant picks up from your brief in the editor.
The AI Design Partner uses AI credits.
NewLive AI Preview
See the finished look as you model.
Split the canvas, and a photoreal AI render of your design updates beside it after each change, in the 3D editor and in Spaces.
- Steer the look
- Describe what you want, set Creativity from faithful to free, or pick a style, from Photorealistic and Product Shot to Watercolor and Blueprint.
- Enhance
- Re-render the frame you see at higher fidelity, without changing its composition.
- Match a Style… and Place in a Photo…
- Borrow the look of a reference image, or render your model into a photo.
- 4 Views
- Front, side, rear and three-quarter views, rendered at once.
- Keep the ones you like
- Drag a render onto the canvas, or save it to your photo library.
- Live Preview in Spaces
- Doodle on the board, and the render beside you follows your strokes.
Live AI Preview is part of the Basic, Pro and Studio plans, and uses AI credits.
RebuiltSpaces
A board that works in layers.
Spaces, the infinite board for sketches, notes, photos, videos and live 3D designs, is rebuilt, with layers and a panel of AI tools that work on whatever you select.
- Flows
- AI cards tied to a picture on your board, such as Make ideas, Colorways and Line drawing. Tap a card and its results land beside it; change the picture, and one tap on Update redraws the same ideas on the new one.
- My Library
- Every AI result is kept for you, newest first, in one place in the panel, with your saved textures and styles. Save your own photos, videos and 3D models there too.
- Split into Layers
- Turn a photo’s objects into layers. Objects finds each one, Subject cuts out the main subject on the device, and Draw Around It catches anything missed. Keep, hide or fill the background.
- Make Whole
- Redraw an object that was partly hidden behind another, so it’s complete when you move it.
- Layers
- Name, hide, lock and fade layers, group them up to three deep, and trace a photo or plan with Use as Underlay.
- Variations
- Several directions, same subject. Pick the ones you like, or ask for More Ideas that differ from everything in the set.
- Compose a Scene
- Your selected items in one image, placed beside them, while the originals stay as they were.
- Apply Style and Save as Style
- Restyle a picture with a preset or with a look you saved from your own images, now in one tool.
- Presentation Set
- Hero, Detail and In context views of one image, added to the board as a group.
- More in AI Tools
- Generate Image, Edit, Remove Background, Exploded View, color palettes, custom textures, Generate Video, and Turn an image into a 3D model.
- A calmer board
- Doodle with a finger or Apple Pencil, select and group many items at once, lock what’s done, and open any 3D design in the 3D editor; your changes come back to the board.
Most AI tools use AI credits. Finding objects for Split into Layers is free, up to a daily limit.
NewScene Studio
Turn a picture into a short film.
Open a picture from your Space as a scene, then change it by tapping or typing. Each change becomes a short clip.
- Change any object
- Tap it to move, rotate, resize, recolor, change its material or remove it.
- Light, season and weather
- Relight the whole scene for another time of day, season or weather.
- Camera
- Try camera angles, or orbit the scene a full 360°.
- Tell the story
- Scrub the timeline, reorder the steps, and save a still, a clip or the whole story as a video, or add it to your Space.
- Saved to your account
- Each step’s still and clip backs up to your uMake account and comes back on your other devices.
Scene Studio uses AI credits; a clip uses more than an image.
Rebuilt3D editor
Sharper tools for every line.
New drawing tools, solids you can preview before you commit, and materials and light that look real.
- Precision, Pen and Freestyle
- Precision draws exact lines and arcs with live dimensions you can type into. Pen snaps a held stroke to a clean line, circle, arc or rectangle. Freestyle sketches in 3D with Marker, Charcoal and Chalk brushes.
- Combine
- Union, Subtract and Intersect, with a 3D preview before you apply, and results you can edit later.
- Project Shape
- Wrap a flat grille, logo or pattern onto a curved body.
- Components
- Turn a selection into a component, and every linked instance updates together; Detach Instance breaks the link.
- Groups and meshes
- Edit inside a group with a breadcrumb back out, and edit meshes by face, edge or vertex.
- Materials and light
- PBR materials with roughness, metallic and glow; a Sun with time of day, season and north; soft shadows and ambient occlusion.
- Visual styles
- Architectural Clay, Technical Ink, Paper Sketch, Blueprint and more, in the Render panel.
- View in AR, rebuilt
- Place a design on a real table or wall on iPhone and iPad. USDZ exports carry your materials.
- More files
- DAE files open, and GLB models keep their textures.
Drawing, editing and 3D export need a plan.
