Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Please more of them! Very easy to unterstand and follow for an absolute beginner 🥰❤️

Thank you! :)

I have zbrush with maxon one - maybe I will buy nomad just to have

Awesome tutorial!! Thank you! Please continue these beginner type tutorials. You are awesome and make things easy to follow. An idea would be creating easy critters and characters. 😊

One thing why I never got into zbrush is moving the camera

Nomed better than Zbrush

thanks luv!

agree

Im a beginner nomad sculptor as of two days ago and gotta say it is very easy to learn and i like that you can just add shit in i used to use forger and the tools on forger didnt really do what they said they would do also Nomad is a one time purchase with some tools you can optionally buy so winner in my book

thanks

Oh that's an easy one nomad ---------> hobbyist, zbrush ipad-----------------> hobbyist/professional, zbrush pc-----------------> professional

I think you can display your computer screen on your iPad and work with your iPad on your computer in a fully functional version))

Thank you. I did not know about Nomad, but ZBrush's subscription model isn't great. Also, my iPad just meets the minimum requirements for ZBrush, so I doubt it will run smoothly.

Thanks for the tutorial. You rock!

hopeful that more videos will come

Do you think the 11inch version should be fine for 3d modeling or the bigger screen is indispensable in your opinion?

Zbrush is doomed since maxon took it, miss the old pixologic administration

Impression I get is that Nomad is built around the iPad whereas Zbrush is an attempt to be just “Zbrush for iPad” as a necessity for their portfolio in modern world. See how it improves with time

As someone who uses Nomad for a Nomad - Blender workflow I can say there is no need for another app. Nomad regularly gets updates with new functions that bring similar use case’s for modeling. For example the added face groups which was a huge complain I saw in another video. This one was a year old and I must say all points that guy brought up were updated. Just export it as on OBJ and the model will arrive as uploaded. Also there is a quad remember, yes, cost a bit extra as this is an external application, but with that you can easily create a low res version of your model. Just copy, quad remesh, bake from high res and done. No finishing touches needed. No hand made hour long process of redoing your mesh and usually ready to rig. This is just my opinion on the matter. There are any things a brush can do better, or functions nomad does not have then let me know.

What are your iPad specs? I've been having a hard time getting into 3d on desktop and thought getting an iPad would help with that since I already need it for my other design work. I just don't want to get one to find out the specs make it burn up whenever I add more polygons! Thanks for the video!

I’m starting with nomad and never sculpted before, do you offer courses or could you point me in the right direction to learn it? Not many tutorials out here. I really like your league of legends style sculpts.

Subscription needs to stop 😂

I like Nomad but need more improvement

I really appreciate your honest and practical reviews. Thanks for your insights. I bought Nomad when it was first released and have benefited from many updates since, however, I do recognise that businesses can't keep providing updates indefinitely without some sort of income stream. On the other hand, I am also using the free ZBrush but I am very reluctant to subscribe and pay to Maxon that, I believe, operates on the basis of maximising what it can extract from customers. I do think Nomad should consider a model similar to Plasticity where you own your software but get limited free updates. They run the risk of not being sustainable or selling out - which would be very sad.

So I guess my question is which is better for someone wanting to get into the sculpting for their first time? I hate the idea of subscriptions but is the free option comparable or superior to nomad sculpt? I an having a hard time deciding which one to choose to invest my time in I just am looking for the most feature packed software without a subscription right now.

Noooiice! 🙌🏽

Thanks! Looking forward to the rest of the videos on Nomad 🙌

I’m your 900th subscriber!! Can’t wait to see more of your art, 1000 subscribers soon!

So far, yours is the only video I can find comparing Zbrush on iPad to Nomad Sculpt. Thank you for putting this out.

I've watch some Zbrush videos and it does seem like a lot of weird "hold this button and then slide to this other button." It's as if the zbrush devs just need to do weird UI things. Nomad is such a more simple and elegant UI. OTOH, there's some power in zbrush. I learned it years ago and did some cool stuff, but you stop using it awhile and come back, and it's a lot harder to come back to than other 3D apps.

what is your job?

cute

I want to add funny enough I bought a used iPad Pro model that’s a 2022 model with 1TB of storage to save some bucks but still getting high end software and hardware 😂😅

For me I’d say Nomad Sculpt is much better on iPad Pro. I’d love the idea of getting Zbrush but I’m tight on money despite working jobs and I dislike subscriptions. I love single payments or free apps. I would say it is still possible to make great sculpts on Nomad. I am a professional animator (went to University) but even then I love cost effective options like Nomad and Blender. I know Zbrush and Maya are professional softwares but I like saving money more honestly. I do animation but sometimes it is nice to make still art pieces.

Is it really that much of a problem optimizing polygons on nomad?

Would u start uploading videos about nomad?? Pls pls plssss. I wana learn it and i wana learn form u, personal preference :)

I was an artist in the games industry for many years and now work as a physical therapist, so I don’t have the same need for the pro level tools that I used to. That said, I still like to doodle, sketch around, and just have fun. I totally agree with you about the casual feel of Nomad, and it can do a lot. ZBrush also has some great tools. I have both right now and will probably keep it that way for a while. I’m a big character modeler and it’s just hard to beat the fluidity of ZSpheres for characters and just quickly knocking out those armatures and getting those dynamic poses. Love both though. Thanks for your review.

I got zbrush for poly modeling. It’s not on iPad. Too bad

Thank you!

Subscription vs buying? Subscription loses every time.

This was very helpful always wondered why the brushes I added disappeared everytime I closed Zbrush

I just got an iPad Pro 2024 for Nomad. Then I learned that ZBrush is out for it (I've used ZBrush foe years on desktop) then I saw the price... I can't justify paying that much as a hobbyist

Nomad is waaaay cuter, but it doesn’t have fabric simulator.

Subscriptions are a real issue for me too. Nuke is by far the most expensive at $2,600 per year, which is around $217 a month. Then, there's Maxon One, which costs $1,200 annually, or about $100 a month. Houdini is more reasonable; I bought the 2-year package for $400, which breaks down to $200 per year, or roughly $17 per month. On top of that, I use all the Adobe programs, including Substance Painter, through Creative Cloud, which adds to the overall cost. All of this really adds up!

Your video is exactly how I feel about it.😀

Everything you said there is so spot on!! I'm also using both and got the full subscription of Zbrush for Ipad too. Also, I felt this need of having a thicker wacom-like pen in my hand while working in zbrush, which the pencil pro is not(so ordered some grips for it). But then(similar to what you said) just to get away from the system at home, go to a cafe and sculpt while sipping coffee, both are great. Really like working in Nomad because of its post process features which allows to look at the final thing in real-time. While in zbrush I can do some ideation of anything and take it to my system at home as ztl only with all the subtools intact and continue. (that's also my conscience telling me to "indeed make use of it now that you've subscribed it", hehe :D) Hopefully in the next update they would fix how the screen feels less smooth rotating things, than in nomad. Sorry for this long comment! Really admire your work! :)

Thats a really useful review! From a perspective of someone who uses Zbrush in daily life, all the concerns and opinions made total sense to me. So now there’s a Zbrush app for iPad. Any future review coming? 👀 Thanks!

My love

Buen video

Thanks for sharing! I also started to get in touch with "Mobile Sculpting" from Nomad Sculpt. The first time I did digital sculpting on the sofa or in a coffee shop was a great experience. When ZBrush for iPad was launched, I also subscribed to it as soon as it was launched. Now I feel that using ZBrush for iPad to make high-precision models and rendering output in Nomad, the two apps together can bring more fun and make creation more efficient.
