picoCAD

If you find 3D design to be difficult and would like a simpler way to start designing objects for your video game or similar project, picoCAD might just be what you're looking for. This app is a low-poly 3D model creator. It makes model creation quite easy and fun too. The editor is intuitive, and won't require much knowledge aside from the basic PC know-how. It's not a resource hog either, so it can run on more modest builds too.

If one had to describe picoCAD in one word, that would be accessible. This is exactly what makes such apps great. They manage to turn something we otherwise see as difficult and unattractive or beyond our reach into something very pleasant or fun to do.

It manages to do this through its simple and intuitive editor, guiding meshes that help you better understand the space you're dealing with and interchangeable formats. The app can save your creations in .OBJ and .MTL format for use with Unity and similar apps or .GIF for use with social media services like Facebook or Twitter.

The app doesn't only help individuals build a solid model. It also helps with textures. You can load your textures and apply them with the use of the same guiding mesh. It looks simple and frankly, with this app, it really is simple. The whole idea behind this app is to bring 3D model creation to its most basic form, this being the exact very reason for which picoCAD is such a great choice for beginners in this domain.

Regardless of your motivation, if you're keen on creating low poly 3D models for use with a certain project, picoCAD can provide the much-needed guideline for a successful result. The developer has also created a manual that can improve your knowledge of the process involved in 3D modeling, ultimately allowing you to advance to more complex programs and techniques.
