Morpholio Trace’s Dragonfly is the only tool I know that truly combines the advantages of 3-d modeling, with the intuition of designing with pencil in hand.

I am a landscape designer and Morpholio Trace has totally changed how I do my designs. Are used to use a really expensive complicated program, but Morpholio is literally 10 times cooler and way more fun to use not only that but the renderings I can create are so much more visually appealing… My clients are always blown away.
This is great feature!
Your students at UCLA are very luck to have you!
You are very kind, sir. And I am lucky to have met all of you
Thank you James your videos are very helpful 🙏
sorry for not seeing your comment earlier. Thank you so much for your kind words! May I ask, how are you using Procreate in your professional life, and what kinds of videos do you prefer seeing here?
Hey James I am a procreate evangelist like you but with this video you have convinced me to try morpholio trace. I also have noticed that subscription price is lower than some years ago and very affordable. Thanks you for the great content!
You are very welcome Roko .Design. It really is all about the best tool for the job at hand, so keep going strong on Procreate. But yeh, this is a sweet feature and a good one to add to your repertoire
Fantastic informative video on morpholio trace. Have been using iPad with M. T. and procreate for a few years now and always learn something new with your tutorials. Thanks.
Really appreciate it Ronsino!
OMG, I just discovered your channel and it is amazing! I am looking to buy an ipad for the same thing and thanks to you, the ipad looks like a really useful tool and shows new ways of working through my work.
I don’t think you can go wrong doing that Gabriel. Welcome and I’ll do my best to keep supporting you
This is a fantastic feature with Morpholio Trace but its worth noting that Clip Studio Paint has some similar features. You can import multiple 3d models not only buildings but also cars, furniture, characters, etc. You just drag a model in and it creates a 3d layer. There are no auto-vanishing points though. The models can be on separate layers or combined, and they also have lighting & shadow controls, as well as line art, silouette, and tone extraction (EX). Artists use this to quickly sketch backgrounds and also figures that can be posed with inverse kinematics or with preset configurations. Not really Architect-friendly, but more flexible like Procreate.
Wow, that sounds amazing! Still, I think I need the architect-friendly kind of app, but wow.
Very nice Jim.
Many thanks, Omar!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You are so kind and so welcome. How have you been using Morpholio?
Great introduction !!! Thanks for your work in sharing your experiences.. It’s very stimulating . Simple and clear!! BRAVO
Thank you kindly, TONY. Very grateful for your support
Wow….that looks great!! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the great overview 🙏🏻
Most welcome as always.
I set my sketchup scenes then save as pdf. Inport the pdf of the different scenes into morpolio trace. Simple. We / I draw in 3d but we always present in 2d as pdf's or print out so keep it simple.
A great way to do it!
Awesome! 👏
Thank you Karen! Have you tried it yet?
@@iPadForArchitecture . I don´t have an Ipad yet, but definitely i'm going to try this when I can buy one.
Great tutorial! Thanks James!
My pleasure, Anna! How are you using Morpholio or Procreate in your work-a-day life?
@@iPadForArchitecture Morpholio!!!
@@annakenoff haha excuse me Anna I just figured out who you were and we haven’t met before! Very nice to finally meet you
Great Tutorial! Many Thanks! Please where I can find your initial Morpholio Trace tutorial you are mentioning in this video? Thx
If the link isn’t at the end screen of the video then I must have really messed up!? I only have about 5 Morpholio videos so maybe go directly to my channel page and click link to “all videos “ and try 4-5 most recent videos? But thanks so much for your kind words btw
Great video. Thank you. It appears that I can also export my revit model into morpholio. One thing, can I export the pdf's at a sca[e? Do you have a video that helps me format the sheet size of the pdf? Thank you
I like to keep everything at 300 dpi so the scale rulers and grids I make for procreate are always at the proper scale. As to Morpholio, I would just say keep it simple. Either 18x24 or 11x17 if you work in US, or A2 and A3 if you work in rest of world. Does that answer your question or have I misunderstood?
Great!!
Merci! And welcome to the channel. How are you using Morpholio or Procreate in your professional life?
@@iPadForArchitecture Hi, Im architectural student and recently I use just morpholio for analysis and sketches for my architectural design projects, it’s amazing and since I started using morpholio I literally always achieve what I have in my head and prof always looks on it at the bright side!
That is great to hear! And what feature of Morpholio do you use the most?
@@iPadForArchitecture Right now most efficient feature for me is ruler that offers me drawing straight lines however I want without moving or changing the direction of ruler, that feature is amazing for me… Also I started watching your videos so I expect to learn many more!
You are awesome ....Morpholio or procreate? What better?
Haha don't make me go there! Depends on your needs. What are you hoping to do?
Loving the videos, Im an architect and really looking forward to buy my iPad which do you recommend? I saw a video at @MKBHD today saying that the iPad air M1 is the same as the Pro... but i don't know if its worth to buy the pro for the LiDAR scan. Could you help me ?
If you can afford it, go for the M1. I'm working up to the same thing myself. So powerful, and you're able to work on sheets that are twice the size with twice the number of layers possible, sp very good investment. Speed and reliability not to be beat
@@iPadForArchitecture Tanks for the quick answer ! Do you think the Lidar scan is it useful or its not here to really do the job ?
@@bernardobelisario it’s not useful quite yet is what I hear, but it will get more useful as time goes by. Apple will update it and keep it fresh for however soon the developers finally take advantage of it so there’s no harm in having it. But it may not be useful for another 1-2 years
@@iPadForArchitecture amaizing !! Thank you
@@bernardobelisario Prego!
Hi,
1) Are everything you're selling (brushes, etc) have a commercial license included, i.e. can I use them for clients projetcs, sketchs etc ?
2) I cant find a video of yours where you explain the reasoning behind the shadows, you either draw them fast or skip to the end-result. Am I missing something ?
1) Hi thank you for asking. Yes, you can use them as your private property, as if they were physical scales, but please don't Re-sell them to other Procreate owners, thanks; 2) I haven't done a specific video about the reasoning behind shadows, yet, as I thought that was better left up to an actual drawing class, but maybe I should reconsider. In the mean time, just observe real-world shadows and see how the come from the sun as if it was a pinpoint light source projecting its rays into your rooms or onto a building. If you think of the sun as a flashlight, then play with a flashlight to see how everyday things project shadows when bathed in flashlight, and you will be on your way to understanding shadows. Also, google "how are shadows projected." Thanks for your thoughtful comment
PS--Shadow Maker actually calculates the shadows for you, btw. They are hard to see relative to the general gray of the 3D model, but they are there.
@@iPadForArchitecture Thank you for your answers.
Is there an equivalent "Shadow Maker" app, software or even better, a "tool" included in Procreate for people who doesn't use Morpholio?
Thank you again
👏
🙏🙏
Now, if we can get the iPad version of sketchup to talk directly with Morpholio Trace …
That will close an important loop, right?
Stay tuned on that!!!!
Well, the update for SU for iPad released today made the dream come true!
@@OmarCalderon01 wow. I’m traveling so can’t try it today but that’s a watershed moment
Hi!!! Nice video. But I wonder, why don’t you use revit/archicad instead of sketch up ? I think sketch up it’s good, but you make a lot of work building up a model, and all we know that revit/ archicad have lot of power later… thanks!!!
You can definitely use either. It’s just that I never had to use anything more powerful than sketchup in my own practice so I showed that one. But yeh, I am aware that Rhino is much more powerful. Thanks for contributing to the conversation!
Could it be cost versus bang for your buck?
Too bad most of the architecture projects that feed some of the down to earth people don't look even close to what this guy is sketching.
Yeh, not sure what if anything can be done about that. Until the developers, bankers, realtors and the prevailing popular taste that control most of what gets built decide otherwise, we're stuck with the world we've got. But one can hope and keep floating new ideas, right?
@@iPadForArchitecture it's not the ideas because there are so many people with so many of them, not the renderings, because they are so precise not even the planning that make architecture what it should be today, anymore... I don't even want to make this political but it's going by itself as one just by being an opened discussion on youtube over a channel that is promoting fascinating digital work. Nowdays you can't even have an honest conversation over a cup of coffee with anyone anymore but I am not complaining. What i am actually hinting is that even if the softwares are so well put together and user friendly almost idealisticly crafted for architects and artists, even aimed at obtaining best editable results they still lack realism and honesty in every aspect. I am not even against this post-modern way of thinking and ideal planning that takes place for over 50 years. I can't even imagine to think differently for others and maybe for one person but what is actually revealing about these products is that even if the authors manage to present something that can or may be tangible and even approved for built, they still don't pass the authentic feel. Fact is that in such a digital environment I just can't believe that architects will ever have a sense of fulfilment like when I accidentally spilled coffee or wine over a hand drawing or a draft or even when I made mug rings and still got the check
