@@Valence3D very promising. But if yiu need to fund resources to continue Valence 3D and stay, i’d pay for the core plus security as a one/time. Are you planning an update for iOS 18? Are you planning for add-on plug-ins from you or others? Well, thanks for this tutorial. Meanwhile I have started Nomad Sculpt.
I mean it seriously, this app is simply amazing. For only $35, it's a gift for modelers. It does almost everything you want; it's like hard surface modeling on the go. Thank you for putting effort into developing this. I'm quite satisfied with the app so far. Unfortunately. I wonder why it hasn't gained more attention. thank you
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words about Valence. Its still a very young app and I'm learning a lot everyday. I hope when the app is more stable and there are more videos people will tell their friends about it. I'm planning on making more tutorials and a whole series of quick tips to help people get started!
Ok, in my first impressions with the app (since there is no discord channel or forum at the moment) I place here the observations that I think would be interesting to add in a roadmap of relevant updates for polygonal sculpting: -loop selection -boolean operations! -bevel modifier -solidify modifier -left-handed interface or possibility of rearranging icons -redo and undo buttons on the same side -palm rejection option -better recognition of 2-finger gestures for undo, it has a strange operation where you have to press it several times to undo a change (maybe its interpreting steps as camera movement or something like that) -establish order in selection of face, edge or vertex without being able to immediately move it (I found myself moving vertices many times by mistake without meaning to) The application in general seems quite stable and the amount of work done by a single person is admirable and notable, congratulations! It has everything to dominate the space that no other occupies!
Thanks for the feedback Julian. There is a discord, but its limited at the moment to a handful of beta testers and users (happy to have you there). Hoping to open it up in May while I work through the initial issues, bugs and questions. BTW the manual went live this weekend: manual.valence3d.app/ (loop selection, better undo & redo is there now)
@@Valence3D Hey, I just noticed today that we have a manual now! Thanks; it's very nice so far. I do think we could use a better explanation of how to work with submeshes. Right now, I'm getting some weird results when I try to separate a group of faces to form a new mesh. I think it's a bug, actually, but it may be a workflow issue on my side. But the manual is definitely a welcomed addition and is excellent overall. By the way, I can't wait to join the Discord server. Please bless us with access soon.
@@kyounokuma hi there! i found a bug in the separate and duplicate faces code, should be fixed now. Please update and let me know if its still an issue. What would you like to know about submeshes? They are essential a group of faces. Each submesh group has a different material.
Would love to see more tutorials and walk throughs. I am sincerely interested in this. I love that it’s for iPad and, most important, a 1-time purchase with a reasonable price.
I just discovered this video from a random TH-cam recommendation. I am extremely excited to see a polygon modeling app for iPad. You are doing yeoman's work here! I purchased the app straight and way, and so far, I am very impressed. I am looking forward to seeing where you take it. I don't see any boolean operators yet. Hopefully that is on your roadmap. Great job! Keep up the good work!
This app will fill the market gap everyone knows the Ipad has. Box modelling on Ipad is just mind blowing. Looking forward to see the roadmap for this beautiful project, when UV and procedural texture comes to Velence, it will change the market's workflow. Thank you so much for creating it, buying straight away.
Agreed! I saw a need and wanted to make the 3D tool of my dreams! Its just the beginning and I hope to push this tool a lot further! More tutorials, and documentation coming soon!
I'll gladly get this even if it's not quite "ready" for some modelers. I'm no Glen Southern; trying to do hard surface in Nomad is 100% pain. Thanks for not pulling a "Shapr3d" on this one.
Appreciate the kind words! The app is still very new and I'm learning a lot about what people want and fixing bugs! Hopefully it will get better and better and people will tell their friends :)
Oh God, an Android Version would be so very nice.... I have a 12.5 inch 3DLume Pad2. (Glasses free 3D). I use it for for modeling, rendering, animation and editing. This would fit so incredibly well into my pipeline. ...and obviously into many others as well. Beautiful interface.... GREAT JOB !!!
Very excited to see how this expands. Appreciate you making something for the iPad like this. Hopefully this fills in the gaps I desperately need for hard surface work.
I would focus on the modeling tools and not worry about the rendering. We’re never going to render on our iPad, but it would be nice to have a mobile modeler. For exporting I would focus on glb and USD.
New to 3D printing and looking for an app that goes beyond sculpture and into box modeling for simple product design. This looks intuitive, I hope that this product makes a good splash as we need affordable and easy to use.
Wow. What an incredible piece of app! This is just what I was waiting for and at the moment I heard of it, I bought it without even thinking. It looks great and feels smooth. You are truly filling a hole in the app store. Can't wait to see where you are taking us from this amazing start. Congrats on your work; keep it up, please.
Hey you ❤ Just bought the app with absolutely no hesitation. After seeing the big gurus here on TH-cam and facebook groups, giving it a thumbs up 👍 Looking forward to following The development of the app. Perfect combination with Nomad. I had to update my iPad to 17.0 but luckily it’s still usable.. I would like if you don’t make every future app update be linked to the newest versions of iOS (if that is possible) (maybe just make The updates optional) I have lost my old iPads that ran my favorite programs easy, become useless because a program locked me into updating the OS before it would work😢
thank you for the app. i hope to see more tutorials and advice in the future. It should be nice that we can modify the vertex and edge display in a future update ( they are really small for my eyes🧐 ), interior face display, clip overlaps miror, align vertex and a solidify modifier like in blender...anyway it s a really nice tool
Nomad (as Jerry McGuire) to Valence: “You…complete me!” 🫲🫱 A Box modeling toolkit…🙏Thank you, man…you had me at hello. 🙏 (…oh yeah, UV unwrap with mark seams…gets you a case of beer on me. 🍺🍺🍺 Nothing fancy.)
Very cool! Congratulations on the release. I've been waiting for such a program for a long time and immediately bought it. There is a great lack of basic tools, Knife Merge (target weld) Bevel (advanced) and others.
Awesome, thank you for the feedback! Valence is very young so your feedback is very helpful in steering the future features! If you have any examples of target weld or a good knife tool in a dcc lmk! The hardest thing was figuring out how to implement these features for touch and making them intuitive and easy!
Seconded, Knife tool/merge would add a hell of a lot more versatility being able to resolve quads and ngons, will be an insta purchase if these are implemented, looks awesome so far, hyped to see where it goes this is just the beginning!
UPD : I just read on site this is one person project built from scratch !!! Astonishing progress ! Where you've been lost for so long ?? We've been waiting for you for decades. ! :) Lisan Al Gaib !!! :))
Just bought it! I’m looking forward to learning polygonal modelling (for the first time, along with Blender) and your progress in developing the app :D
what a time to be alive, its amazing that we can polymodeling on mobile app with perpetual lisence, thankyou so much... Anyway, can you please add "crease" feature for the edges, so we can easier make wich edge should have crisp edge
@@vizeath like giving a sharp chamfer to the edge. I dont know how to describe it exactly. But the exact same crease feature on blender, zbrush, and 3dsmax
@@vizeath crease on blender should used together with subdivision modifier. Try add subdivision modifier, enable the "use crease", then apply crease on some edges. This will result in sharper edges where creases are applied.
wow!! interesting application, as a blender user, I really appreciate this application. I'm waiting for the next update, hopefully there will be boolean and solidify modifier features
THANK YOU! This randomly showed up and purchased immediately! as a user of blender and cinema 4d I was able to intuitively find all the tools I need almost instantly! As others said a big THANKS for not making it subscription 🎉
Oh very interesting ! I'm going to enjoy this ! thank you for not making a subscription because I would not have bought. the rate is correct even if in France we have 20% tax. I can't wait to see the updates with the new features and future videos.
Man… This is just amazing, for the price with so much of a convenience being on the iPad to carry anywhere and model. Is like a miniature Blender! Similar to another app, Nomad Sculpt, but this has those necessary or heavily needed 3D feature settings to work with like in Blender or Maya. Especially for a 3D printer maniac like me to model things on a technical level xD You got yourself a fan here, thank you so much for making this revolutionary gift for all of us! Blessed 🙏💖
Thank you for the kind words and support! I’ve been working hard to get version 1.1.3 out and I’m very excited to eventually get more tools in the app!
Triple tap an edge, face or vertex and Valence will try to select a loop for you. If you tap three adjacent elements quickly, then Valence will try to select that loop for you. I'm working on a button to make this easier.
Been looking for something like this for a while. I bought it, however I don’t think I can take this app seriously unless it has a knife tool of some sort. That’s a very important tool for the poly modeling workflow. I’m going to hold on to see how the app improves before I consider refunding it. If you manage to add a knife tool, it’ll be close to perfect.
The knife / cut tool is the most demanded tool, and its first on the feature list after all the bug fixes for robustness. New features should be rolling in mid may.
Wow, looking great so far, seems very intuitive. Also seems similar to Blender in the UI terminology, outliner, subdivision modifier etc... would love to see an isometric view in the future if it doesn't already have one. Exciting times!
Thank you! I've been debating whether to implement an isometric 3D camera, I have seen it use much during modeling, mainly for rendering. But if there is enough demand or a very compelling use case, I'm happy to try to make it happen!
I'd love to bring more people into the project, currently the app doesn't make enough money to support myself or any other devs. Hopefully if it takes off, I can get help! Right now Valence 3D is a one man show.
Is there a way to add a reference image? There are a lot of requests for functions that would take it beyond being a modeler. But the ability to add reference images would definitely be helpful for the modeling process itself.
That's really nice. What you have done with the IU is really good. My biggest problem with Nomad is the messy IU (reminds me of older Blender 2.79). And my problem with Forger is the weak rendering and post processing options. If you can make an app that can join these two worlds, that would be my app of choice.
Thank you 🙂I tried really hard to make the UI clean and intuitive. 3D is hard so hopefully this helps the next generation of 3D lovers. What kind of post processing effects would you like to see!
This is awesome. I use Shapr3D and it is monthly and very expensive. It is also not able to export USD format. I have Nomad Sculpt and I can see using it with this software. I like the fact that there is a touch option in green so you can do iPad tutorials using the record function built in. Makes it way easier.
Thank you! 🙏🏽 all those apps are amazing and I would be honored to be part of your workflow! Ah yes the green touch indicators… I figured if I was going to make a bunch of tutorials, why not let others use this too! Hope you enjoy using the app. More videos coming this month!
Okay, sold, I'm buying it, will complement Nomad Sculpt on my Ipad. Plus NorthernGFX featured you in a short. Just have a question about the features : is it possible to display images on planes to use as blueprint for modeling ? That would be a nice feature to add if not in the app already.
Thank you!! Currently working on bug fixes/app stability, more modeling tools/features and educational material! UV editing is definitely on the road map for v2 or v3. It’s been requested quite a few times, so I’m keen on figuring that out. But because I’m a company of one, it might take a bit of time 🙏🏽
@@Valence3DOkay, so I finally got ahold of the app, and so far, I’ve made a bowl and a spoon for cereal. But in all seriousness, I’ve found some very good things to talk about in the app, like being able to export the object and import it into Nomad Sculpt, being able to choose where you create slices in your shape, etc.
This is awesome! Would really like to know more about Pivots and Orientations feature (I'm just craving an iPad 3d modelling app that has Workplane feature from Modo hehe)
Okay, I'm very excited. Looks like an intuitive version of Blender. I also think it's really good that there's no subscription here. If there is a possibility to make a donation from time to time, I personally would definitely leave something every now and then. :)
Awesome demo. I was planning to buy it but i realized i could not find anything about lightning control. Do need some basic camera/lightning control. Does it ?
Right now Valence 3D is focused on modeling. There are very basic controls for environment lighting and rotation. You can set the camera's field of view and its background.
I like how it feels like blender. Cool interface. Does it have uv unwrapping tools? Does it have other modifiers like shrinkwrap, displace, mirror, array, bevel etc?
I would love that! I launched not knowing there would be a lot of attention on the app! My plan is to make a lot more tutorials in April and to write the docs for the website! Hang tight
II think the tutorials are automatically created by the users. I don't think Stephane, the developer of Nomad Sculpt, has done a single tutorial. A Discord and improvements and bug fixes would be really important - and a manual. I will get the app again when there is a forum or better a discord channel. Otherwise a good app with a lot of potential.👍@@Valence3D
Hey. Great UI and potential. Do you plan to add solidify, array and boolean modifiers? Do you have plans adding curves or splines with possibility of adding profiles?
Working on robustness and documentation at the moment. The roadmap for v2 includes booleans, solidify, and an array modifier. I'll add extruded profiles / curves to the feature requests.
Thank you! I've been dreaming of this for a decade! Excited to see it out in the world. At the moment, there isn't a way to import textures... setting textures will come later this year in version 2.0! Currently focused on stability and robustness and quality of life improvements.
Looks amazing !! I wish it was available for android tablets as well. Would have bought it instantly ! with this app and nomad one can create a game ready asset with ease.
Thank you! Took about 4 years to make the iOS version, so hopefully after the bugs and must have features are ironed out, I’ll consider making an android version!
@@Valence3D Finally a dev that doesn't start with the usual "unfortunately there are no plans for an Android version for now", I'll buy it as soon as it drops on Android, if GOD wills 😁
VERY nice layout and interface, i wonder do you have any plans on something similar to plasticiy? any chance of making a mixture of polygon and cad? Maybe its a stretch but its worth to ask. Also, a suggestion, make an introducton campaing for 15 dollar during 1 week or a couple of days to expand fast and create a base. Cheers
Thank you! Plasticity is so awesome! Valence 3D is mainly for box / polygon modeling. Free and loose, but with some tools for precision. But fundamentally different and complementary :D. Re: pricing, right now its priced to ensure I can keep working on Valence 3D without having to get a day job... which would cause its updates to trickle every 4 months (because I would only be able to work on it for a couple hours a week vs 80hours/week right now).
@@Valence3Dis there anywhere to send feedback. The app has great promise but lacking a few key things as a low poly modeller for my workflow and would love to share these or perhaps learn they already exist
Thank you! Valence 3D is built from the ground up. It uses all native technologies (C, C++, Swift, Obj-C) to ensure users get the best performance possible.
Please if you can make an android version, you can use some languages that make the app for both types of OS (flutter etc...), love the look of the app and how useful and simple it is❤
Thank you! The UI is written in SwiftUI, which made it extremely easy and super frustrating at the same time. In the future, I hope to re-write the entire UI to use the internal rendering engine used for the 3D stuff too. Not sure I'll get there, but will try.
Thank you! Its not Blender, its something new 🙂! Definitely inspired by Blender, and other DCCs, but built from the ground up for iOS and touch based interaction.
I’m excited about this, but it’s definitely a bit rough around the edges at the moment. -I can’t seem to get snapping to work at all. Turning snapping on, or using the extra touch has no effect.- Snapping works now after a reboot 👍🏻 Editing a mesh with subdivision and mirror also seems quite buggy. I tried selecting faces at one point and they appeared to be in a completely different location than my model. Also, it doesn’t seem to be possible to select ‘through’ a mesh, i.e. I can’t select the back verts/edges/faces of a model in x-ray mode like I can with Blender. I’d love to be able to preview the effect a loop-cut has on the subdivision while editing - right now it’s only when you commit a change that you can see it. Would be nice to have the option for multiple cuts, too. Some blender-friendly options like z-up would be nice. Huge potential though, so thanks for your hard work! 😃
Does this app work for exporting 3d models as .stl for 3d printing? I think for the price it would be very good vs Shapr3d that is way to expensive for hobby 3d printing and desing use.
It does! It has STL exporting out of the box! I love 3D printing and digital fabrication so the tools in valence are there for bringing your models into the real world! The measure tool and dimensions were made specifically to help with sizing for fabrication & exporting
Thank you for not making it a subscription purchase.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
💋 💋 💋 ❤❤❤❤ can’t say more.
@@Valence3DYes thank you CAD is the future! This is going to help a lot of people!

Vocal fry asmr is amazing 😴… oh nice product as well.
Ok, in my first impressions with the app (since there is no discord channel or forum at the moment) I place here the observations that I think would be interesting to add in a roadmap of relevant updates for polygonal sculpting:
-loop selection
-boolean operations!
-bevel modifier
-solidify modifier
-left-handed interface or possibility of rearranging icons
-redo and undo buttons on the same side
-palm rejection option
-better recognition of 2-finger gestures for undo, it has a strange operation where you have to press it several times to undo a change (maybe its interpreting steps as camera movement or something like that)
-establish order in selection of face, edge or vertex without being able to immediately move it (I found myself moving vertices many times by mistake without meaning to)

Pretty sick, hopefully you release for Apple Vision Pro as well
later this year :)
Double tapping an edge should do a loop selection. :)
implement this please!
@@julianlema8493 @Valence3D
Just emailed their support and they said it’s supported as triple tap!
@@KageBlink thank you!, i realize that it is implemented but somehow dont work as easy as that selecting some loops
Triple tap an edge, face or vertex and Valence will try to select a loop for you. If you tap three adjacent elements quickly, then Valence will try to select that loop for you. I'm working on a button to make this easier.
Been looking for something like this for a while. I bought it, however I don’t think I can take this app seriously unless it has a knife tool of some sort. That’s a very important tool for the poly modeling workflow. I’m going to hold on to see how the app improves before I consider refunding it. If you manage to add a knife tool, it’ll be close to perfect.
The knife / cut tool is the most demanded tool, and its first on the feature list after all the bug fixes for robustness. New features should be rolling in mid may.
I’ll buy. Thank you for not having to keep a subscription going! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for supporting!!🙂
Need more tutorials asap
They are coming later this month! Working on documentation and robustness at the moment.
Wow, looking great so far, seems very intuitive. Also seems similar to Blender in the UI terminology, outliner, subdivision modifier etc... would love to see an isometric view in the future if it doesn't already have one. Exciting times!
Thank you! I've been debating whether to implement an isometric 3D camera, I have seen it use much during modeling, mainly for rendering. But if there is enough demand or a very compelling use case, I'm happy to try to make it happen!
@@Valence3D Thanks!
You need team or contributors to build the requested features, faster ⚡️ :)
I'd love to bring more people into the project, currently the app doesn't make enough money to support myself or any other devs. Hopefully if it takes off, I can get help! Right now Valence 3D is a one man show.
Looks cool！Amazing！！
Thank you for Making this 3D modeling tool.🙋🏻♂️😍👍
You are welcome 😊
Is there a way to add a reference image? There are a lot of requests for functions that would take it beyond being a modeler. But the ability to add reference images would definitely be helpful for the modeling process itself.
Yes, you can definitely add a image or photo reference. Plus Button -> either File or Photo, select the file, then it will show up in the scene.
That's really nice. What you have done with the IU is really good. My biggest problem with Nomad is the messy IU (reminds me of older Blender 2.79). And my problem with Forger is the weak rendering and post processing options. If you can make an app that can join these two worlds, that would be my app of choice.
Thank you 🙂I tried really hard to make the UI clean and intuitive. 3D is hard so hopefully this helps the next generation of 3D lovers. What kind of post processing effects would you like to see!
This looks awesome!
Awesome! Thank you!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is awesome. I use Shapr3D and it is monthly and very expensive. It is also not able to export USD format. I have Nomad Sculpt and I can see using it with this software. I like the fact that there is a touch option in green so you can do iPad tutorials using the record function built in. Makes it way easier.
Thank you! 🙏🏽 all those apps are amazing and I would be honored to be part of your workflow! Ah yes the green touch indicators… I figured if I was going to make a bunch of tutorials, why not let others use this too! Hope you enjoy using the app. More videos coming this month!
This is AMAZING, I'm speechless 😲
Thank you :DDD
@@Valence3D You're welcome 😁
Okay, sold, I'm buying it, will complement Nomad Sculpt on my Ipad. Plus NorthernGFX featured you in a short.
Just have a question about the features : is it possible to display images on planes to use as blueprint for modeling ? That would be a nice feature to add if not in the app already.
🎉 yes, there is an photo primitive you can use to bring in an image!
App looks great. Are there functions for UV unwrapping in the current version? If not is that something that is planned?
Thank you!! Currently working on bug fixes/app stability, more modeling tools/features and educational material! UV editing is definitely on the road map for v2 or v3. It’s been requested quite a few times, so I’m keen on figuring that out. But because I’m a company of one, it might take a bit of time 🙏🏽
Purchase last night and playing with this cool tool!!
Awesome!! Thank you for the support!
Por favor saquen pronto la versión para android,me gustaría ver la app en Android,la verdad agradezco que creen más apps así
Looking good! Gonna give it a try right now! Can you crease the edges or you need to subdivide?
You can crease them. Select the crease tool in the tool bar (left) and select an edge or face and crease away. (Tap the handle and drag up or down).
Okay, I may need to get this app so I can review it. Sure I already have Nomad Sculpt, but this looks like it can do basic modeling easier.
Please do!
@@Valence3DOkay, so I finally got ahold of the app, and so far, I’ve made a bowl and a spoon for cereal. But in all seriousness, I’ve found some very good things to talk about in the app, like being able to export the object and import it into Nomad Sculpt, being able to choose where you create slices in your shape, etc.

This is awesome! Would really like to know more about Pivots and Orientations feature (I'm just craving an iPad 3d modelling app that has Workplane feature from Modo hehe)
nvm just learned there's a manual now, Pivots and Orientations look solid! a Workplane feature would still be nice tho :)
Awesome, glad you found that!
Okay, I'm very excited. Looks like an intuitive version of Blender. I also think it's really good that there's no subscription here. If there is a possibility to make a donation from time to time, I personally would definitely leave something every now and then. :)
That would be extremely helpful to ensure Valence 3D lives on.
AWESOME. Thank you! New subscriber ✌🏻
Awesome demo. I was planning to buy it but i realized i could not find anything about lightning control. Do need some basic camera/lightning control. Does it ?
Right now Valence 3D is focused on modeling. There are very basic controls for environment lighting and rotation. You can set the camera's field of view and its background.
I like how it feels like blender. Cool interface. Does it have uv unwrapping tools? Does it have other modifiers like shrinkwrap, displace, mirror, array, bevel etc?
Thank you! at the moment, there are no tools for uv unwrapping, etc! At the moment, there are two modifiers, mirror and subdivision.
This app needs to get popular quickly, so more people can make tutorials, showing what the app can do.
I would love that! I launched not knowing there would be a lot of attention on the app! My plan is to make a lot more tutorials in April and to write the docs for the website! Hang tight
II think the tutorials are automatically created by the users. I don't think Stephane, the developer of Nomad Sculpt, has done a single tutorial. A Discord and improvements and bug fixes would be really important - and a manual. I will get the app again when there is a forum or better a discord channel. Otherwise a good app with a lot of potential.👍@@Valence3D
Hey. Great UI and potential. Do you plan to add solidify, array and boolean modifiers? Do you have plans adding curves or splines with possibility of adding profiles?
Working on robustness and documentation at the moment. The roadmap for v2 includes booleans, solidify, and an array modifier. I'll add extruded profiles / curves to the feature requests.
Makes me want an iPhone again
app looks amazing dude. 3d artists have been waiting for this for a long time! is there any way to import images to use as textures at the moment?
Thank you! I've been dreaming of this for a decade! Excited to see it out in the world. At the moment, there isn't a way to import textures... setting textures will come later this year in version 2.0! Currently focused on stability and robustness and quality of life improvements.
@@Valence3DI completely understand! thanks for the reply.
Looks amazing !! I wish it was available for android tablets as well. Would have bought it instantly ! with this app and nomad one can create a game ready asset with ease.
Thank you! Took about 4 years to make the iOS version, so hopefully after the bugs and must have features are ironed out, I’ll consider making an android version!
@@Valence3D That's awesome !! Thank you !
@@Valence3D Finally a dev that doesn't start with the usual "unfortunately there are no plans for an Android version for now", I'll buy it as soon as it drops on Android, if GOD wills 😁
Nice video. I am new to modeling so this is nice to see.
Thank you :D Let me know what other content you'd like to see!
@@Valence3DThanks, I am learning modeling for 3d prints. Anything along that line would be super for me.
VERY nice layout and interface, i wonder do you have any plans on something similar to plasticiy? any chance of making a mixture of polygon and cad? Maybe its a stretch but its worth to ask. Also, a suggestion, make an introducton campaing for 15 dollar during 1 week or a couple of days to expand fast and create a base. Cheers
Thank you! Plasticity is so awesome! Valence 3D is mainly for box / polygon modeling. Free and loose, but with some tools for precision. But fundamentally different and complementary :D. Re: pricing, right now its priced to ensure I can keep working on Valence 3D without having to get a day job... which would cause its updates to trickle every 4 months (because I would only be able to work on it for a couple hours a week vs 80hours/week right now).
Bought it right away !
Thank you for supporting!! 🙂
I can’t recall if I said already but we need a lot more videos showing how best to use this fantastic tool.
More videos coming this summer! Working on making the tool more robust :)
@@Valence3D great to hear. Have a break from the day job so going to have a play with this while away.
@@Valence3Dis there anywhere to send feedback. The app has great promise but lacking a few key things as a low poly modeller for my workflow and would love to share these or perhaps learn they already exist
@@bovineox1111 check out the online forum or discord link in the app!
Thank you amazing! Will surely buy. Can we also get ambient occlusion renders please?
I'll add that to the feature requests! Thank you.
@@Valence3Dthank you very much. As soon as you have regular 3d text in it I will directly buy and support ❤
@@Valence3Dcan you also add text tool and spline tool? Thank you ❤
Amazing how polished the IU is. I love it. There are a few things missing but it is an amazing launch! Is it based on ThreeJS?
Thank you! Valence 3D is built from the ground up. It uses all native technologies (C, C++, Swift, Obj-C) to ensure users get the best performance possible.
@@Valence3D Really, I love it. I have in the 3d world for more than 20 years... Amazing work!
Great app. Purchased straight away and thanks for no forced subscription. Will you be adding Boolean functionality?
Boolean will come later this year!
can i import an mesh of a 3D scanned object ?
I want to make reverse engendering on my iPad
You can import an OBJ, STL, USD and USDZ.
Another question. Can you add a reference picture and make it semi transparent?
Yes! You can change the images opacity in the inspector!
Please if you can make an android version, you can use some languages that make the app for both types of OS (flutter etc...), love the look of the app and how useful and simple it is❤
Thank you! The UI is written in SwiftUI, which made it extremely easy and super frustrating at the same time. In the future, I hope to re-write the entire UI to use the internal rendering engine used for the 3D stuff too. Not sure I'll get there, but will try.
Love it
This is great! 👍
Thank you!
Is this like Blender on iPad? I really like it.
Thank you! Its not Blender, its something new 🙂! Definitely inspired by Blender, and other DCCs, but built from the ground up for iOS and touch based interaction.
I’m excited about this, but it’s definitely a bit rough around the edges at the moment.
-I can’t seem to get snapping to work at all. Turning snapping on, or using the extra touch has no effect.- Snapping works now after a reboot 👍🏻
Editing a mesh with subdivision and mirror also seems quite buggy. I tried selecting faces at one point and they appeared to be in a completely different location than my model.
Also, it doesn’t seem to be possible to select ‘through’ a mesh, i.e. I can’t select the back verts/edges/faces of a model in x-ray mode like I can with Blender.
I’d love to be able to preview the effect a loop-cut has on the subdivision while editing - right now it’s only when you commit a change that you can see it.
Would be nice to have the option for multiple cuts, too.
Some blender-friendly options like z-up would be nice.
Huge potential though, so thanks for your hard work! 😃
Thank you for all the feedback! Definitely will factor this into the new features and bug fixes for April!
Wow thats so cool. How big of a model it can handle?
Thanks! At the moment, not that big. ~10,000 polygons. Working on making it handle millions by 2025.
@@Valence3D that would be awesome to see. Great effort.
Great app ever!
Thank you!!!
Does this app work for exporting 3d models as .stl for 3d printing? I think for the price it would be very good vs Shapr3d that is way to expensive for hobby 3d printing and desing use.
It does! It has STL exporting out of the box! I love 3D printing and digital fabrication so the tools in valence are there for bringing your models into the real world! The measure tool and dimensions were made specifically to help with sizing for fabrication & exporting
Also, does this app have a camera feature that allows you to create a picture of your scene with any focal length?
At the moment you can change the camera’s field of view!
@@Valence3D Can you also change the camera’s aspect ratio? And are animation tools being considered for the app?
