Obsession with all things 3D takes another level with artists now given the option to sculpt three-dimensional objects. And we thought you could already do that in the real world. But if the virtual is what you prefer, Leonar3Do, a rather awkward name for a 3D art app, lets you take control of space itself. Though for mastery of the third dimension, you’ll have to don special goggles and wield a “bird”, again another strangely named and odd-shaped air-suspended mouse needed to draw objects out of your PC screen.

According to developers Daniel Ratai and Zoltan Karpati, the app is user-friendly enough that even an eight-year-old can tackle. Though at the lovely price of US$1,000, this isn’t something to kid about.

The program LeoWorld supports standard 3D file formats such as .obj, .stl, .3ds and any other 3D design software, allowing users to create free form models, animation, 3D drawings, 3D presentations, games and real-time physics. But its strongest pitch has to be its Software Development Kit, which allows developers to create new apps or connect any software to Leonar3Do. Watch it in action below.
