    Viewport 3D - iOS 3D Model Viewer for Artists

    Viewport 3D is an iOS app I built for artists who need a fast way to preview, inspect and present 3D models without opening a full desktop DCC package.

    The app supports common 3D formats including USD/USDZ, OBJ, STL, PLY, FBX, glTF, GLB and DAE, with features for render channels, animation playback, scene statistics, screenshots and AR Quick Look.

    My role covered product direction, UX flow, 3D workflow planning, feature design, testing and creative/technical execution. The project reflects the kind of work I enjoy most: practical tools for artists, clean visual workflows and production-minded creative technology.
