Wax is a 3D modeling and animation app for creating props, characters, and scenes on iPhone or iPad. Users can edit mesh components, sculpt with brushes, paint on layered vertex colors, add modifiers, and animate position, rotation, or scale with keyframes. Projects remain editable as Wax files and can be imported from OBJ or self-contained GLB and glTF models. The developer says core modeling, sculpting, painting, animation, and several export formats are free with unlimited projects. Wax Pro is a one-time purchase that adds boolean operations, voxel remeshing, video exports, and GLB or USDZ exports. The listing does not state the Pro price. Some imports have format limitations, and model import does not preserve animation. Projects are stored on-device and can be shared through Files.
