I have been working on a project for a while. Now I need to render it with a real appearance, to help people see the fit and finish. I need to add color and texture. Some of the parts are casted aluminum, while other parts are metal and painted with a texture finish. There are nylon bushings as well. Each part has a different appearance. The color tool is a great addition to the app, but it does not have a realistic rendering that I was hoping for.  
So here’s the 10.000 dollar question! Are there any apps that will work on the iPad. that would give me the appearance I am looking for. I have a 12.9 iPad Pro (3 generation) with the current version 14.0.1. I don’t have a desktop to work with, the iPad is the only computer I have to work with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use Forger for this. It´s a modeling app and not a CAD app, so it´s not ideal. But it does have some basic materials options.  
I then export it as USDZ and compose and animate in Apple Reality Composer.  
This is my latest one (the iphone itself is taken from [apple.com](http://apple.com))

You also have Jig Workshop. From what I can see you can´t export it as USDZ or anything really.  
But it is the closest thing you get to a rendering app on Ipad.
