Basic Shapes: 52 3D models

Shapes 52

• Sheet (any outline) — A flat sheet in the outline you choose — rectangle, circle, star, heart, leaf, cell and more — at an exact width, depth and thickness. Bend, twist, wave or crumple it (Shape changes), drape it over other items like cloth, or reshape it by hand with the Reshape brush.
• Sphere — A smooth ball.
• Blob — An organic lumpy shape — handy for cells, cytoplasm and anything squishy. Shuffle for new shapes.
• Rounded cube — A box with adjustable rounded corners.
• Cylinder — A cylinder (rod, disc or can).
• Cone — A cone or truncated cone.
• Ring (torus) — A doughnut shape.
• Capsule — A pill shape — rods, bacteria, vessels.
• Curvy tube — A wavy tube — fibres, vessels, worms. Shuffle for a new path.
• Helix / spring — A coiled tube.
• Disc — A flat round plate with soft edges.
• Star — A five-pointed star (for highlights and icons).
• Plane (editable mesh) — A clean plane mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Cube (editable mesh) — A clean cube mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Circle (editable mesh) — A clean circle mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• UV Sphere (editable mesh) — A clean uv sphere mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Ico Sphere (editable mesh) — A clean ico sphere mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Cylinder (editable mesh) — A clean cylinder mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Cone (editable mesh) — A clean cone mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Torus (editable mesh) — A clean torus mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Grid (editable mesh) — A clean grid mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Capsule (editable mesh) — A clean capsule mesh, like the basic shapes of 3D programs — reshape it with Edit shape (Tab).
• Pyramid — A square pyramid.
• Triangular prism — A wedge-like three-sided prism.
• Hemisphere (dome) — Half a sphere — domes, caps, colonies.
• Pipe (hollow tube) — A hollow cylinder — tubing, vessels, channels, catheters.
• Tetrahedron — Four triangular faces.
• Octahedron — Eight faces — crystals, nanoparticles.
• Icosahedron — Twenty faces — virus capsids.
• Gear — A toothed wheel — machines and devices.
• Arrow (3D) — A solid arrow for pointing in 3D scenes.
• Cross / plus — A thick plus sign.
• Hexagon tile — A hexagonal prism — honeycomb, cells in a sheet, icons.
• Ellipsoid (egg / oval) — A stretched sphere with its own width, depth and height — eggs, nuclei, vesicles, bacteria.
• Rounded cube–sphere — Anything between a sphere and a cube — nanocubes, rounded boxes, pillows. Roundness 1 = sphere.
• Wedge (ramp) — A right-angled wedge — ramps, slopes, doorstops.
• Dodecahedron — Twelve pentagonal faces — dice, viral and fullerene-like cages.
• Heart (symbol) — A rounded 3D heart symbol — health, cardiology icons.
• Flat ring (washer) — A flat ring with a hole — washers, rims, annuli, pores seen from above.
• Arch (half ring) — Half a doughnut — arches, bridges, loops.
• U-tube (bent tube) — A tube bent into a U — U-tubes, loops of Henle, hairpins.
• Bowl (open dome) — An open half-shell — bowls, cups, a vesicle cut open.
• Funnel — A cone that narrows to a spout.
• Wavy sheet — A rippled surface — membranes, fabrics, sheets, epithelia.
• Curved arrow (3D) — A bent arrow — rotation, flow, cycles in 3D scenes.
• Double arrow (3D) — An arrow with heads at both ends — exchange, binding equilibria, distances.
• Dumbbell (dimer) — Two balls joined by a rod — dimers, bonded pairs, dividing cells.
• Bead chain (polymer) — Beads on a flexible chain — polymers, peptides, DNA strands, chromatin. Shuffle for a new path.
• Cluster of spheres — A clump of balls — aggregates, colonies, raspberries, morulae.
