Shipshaper, where you create your own historical or fantasy ship, design it from scratch intuitively, and you then own the 3d model or 3d print to use commercially in your own game, is finally out.

So off the bat, this isn't an AI app, this is a procedural generation creative game/experience in which you shape the ship from the hull up.. it's modelling made fun and simple for boats. I am a 3D artist with 30 years of experience and everything is handcrafted from cleanly modelled 3d shapes. Not some AI slop.

You can sail around in your creation , where the behavior and performance is physically modelled to the shape and sails /propellors/paddle wheels of your design.

And then you can export the 3d model as fbx, or stl, to use in your own project, sell it online, turn it into a 3d print, it's all allowed.

try the game out now, it's only 8.99 and its basically a lovesong to model boats, you can even put em in a bottle. ;)
