Ratings and reviews

Incredible value for the money, with a very good free mode to try it out. This is a fully functional, highly stable sculpting app with features like multi-resolution, model export, texturing, boolean operation, masking, and more. You'll want to run it on a good tablet for most serious work, but it works well on a phone, too. There are a number of good channels on YouTube with tutorials. Look at the price tag on ZBrush, and be amazed at the value this app offers.

I recently downloaded this app as an alternative to Blender, and I absolutely love it, but there is a small issue.... The app keeps crashing while I'm trying to sculpt. Everytime I re-open the tab my few minutes of progress has been lost. It wouldn't so much of a problem if it wasn't VERY repetitive. It's open, sculpt a few minutes, crash, repeat. Besides that though, it's easy to use and wonderful to play around with. Definitely recommend it!!

I honestly can't get enough of this app. A premium quality product! I'm in awe with every little thing I discover when I play around with it. My only gripe is the fact that even though it recognizes IK bones (and you can even properly rotate them) they don't affect the meshes. If they add support for IK bones, this app -- in my view -- would be absolute perfection. That is... unless they go the extra mile and add particle support & animation (lol, JK). Thanks for an amazing job, dev team! 🙌🙏

What's new

file: new internal file format, .nom instead of glb.lz4 (compressed lz4), should be faster

material: fix emissive channel
material: add intensity slider for emissive channel
material: ignore alpha channel for texture preview (except for color slot)

texture: mipmap saving fixed
texture: correctly save metalness if roughness is not present (and vice-versa)

dynTopo: try to keep sharp edges intact when decimating
dynTopo: non manifold triangles should stop appearing if the surface is manifold
