Emergency Squirrel! – Inscryption Card

Posted: 17 Jan 2022 10:13 AM PST

The digital card game Inscryption has playing cards in bottles and we wanted to make our own! First, print a card and jam it into a bottle, and then weather the bottle to look all creepy. Don’t forget the cork!

Search using a 3D model

Learn about GeoSearch

There are two ways you can search for models in our ever growing database of indexed models. In addition to text search, you can also use GeoSearch to find 3D models using a 3D model.

Watch how to use GeoSearch:

Many uses for a Geometric Search Engine

GeoSearch has a variety of use cases. Looking for engines that would match the piston you designed? Import that piston and find matches. Searching for which creator designed a model you really like? Import that model into the search bar and find the creator's original model.

We recently increased the amount of geometrically indexed models and improved the speed of the search when using GeoSearch. We hope you find this feature useful!
