This was fantastic to watch… and that Timelapse at the end 👌, cake for the eyes. And that’s definitely the Rocinante xD, when you mentioned it, totally got the answer to a lingering question I have had since the beginning: “where the heck have I seen these type of spaceships?”
Thank you so much for this video!! After 100h watching tutorials to get a good understanding of sculpting, this one finally made me understand how the workflow that makes you think as a digital sculpt should be, because the way to get to the shapes is too different. Well, at least for me, my main works go more into hardsruface, and sculpting hardsurface is different than modeling or sculpting, it's a different world. Great video ❤❤❤
Hey, just wanna say thank you for making these videos, it's so helpful and not many other content creators are making tutorials on this app Good stuff man keep it up 👍
Thank you for the video! You are one of not so many people who know how to use this app and are willing to share with others. Thank you so much! You’ve answered so many of my questions. I’m sure I’ll rewatch it many times)
THANKS !!! Seriously I was struggling with the split option that made nomad sculpt freeze, and the voxel merge option saves my life ! You're amazing ! Thank you a lot !
I noticed that you have a grid in the background, it helps a lot when trim. How to display this grid? Do you import a picture into the background? Thanx a lot.
Just nabbed Shapelab and am looking at this for inspiry. 😀 Did I mention I am also in the middle of unboxing my Quest Pro? No? 😎 Thanks for all the great content, SGFX
Thanks buddy, that’s means a lot. I only started making content regularly last July so I’m very happy to have 8000 subs in that time. This channel has restored my faith in TH-cam as everyone has been so supportive, polite and willing to share their own tips and tricks.
Very nice. Could you reduce the sounds of your pen every time you touch your ipad? It's very noisy on speakers; Maybe by using some nvidia noise reduction? Thanks
Hi, will you be updating your Nomad course with these hard surface techniques? The devs did add some new features in recent versions of Nomad, would you be covering those aswell? Just curious. Keep up the great work :)
I will be covering it but I won’t be updating the basic course with that info. I kept that course at $27 to help beginners but its over 10 hours now which is getting a bit silly now. I have loads of new content coming very soon and hard surface features heavily.
Great tutes! Since Stephan added the view-cube(?) in the top right I just tap that instead of 'Snap View.' Example-Tap 'Front' to snap to the front. Ooops....I see you're doing this also. I figured I didn't have a leg up you!
Yeah it’s a great time saver. I’m stuck in the habit of using it at the bottom and when I use the view cube I accidentally double tap all the time. Bad habits need addressing :) I can’t keep up with his awesome dev updates
Nomad got really powerful. I have to open it again. I wonder if they have implemented posing tools. Btw, what iPad screen recording software are you using? Thanks.
@@SouthernGFX no worries man. I just rewatched and I see you are using the scene layer panel. I got excited for a second . But hey for sculpting on-the-go I can deal. Thanks for all the great nomad content. Been really helpful
Your videos are a great resource! I took your nomad course and I also use GravitySketch VR. I tried a GravitySketch to Nomad workflow to sculpt more detail but the Obj I imported into nomad looked horrible and I was hoping you could tell me why and if there’s a way to make it work. Thank you
In gravity sketch there are two underlying modeling technologies. NURBS and Subdivision modeling. If you export something from the stroke, ink, volume, revolve tools you will get unpredictable geometry as the export algorithm has to convert the NURBS tom polygons and almost always just triangulates and doesn’t seal edges or make watertight models. If you make things inside GS using Sub D modeling it will come out as you would want and be good geometry. I’ll do a video if you need some clarity.
@@SouthernGFX ohhhhh! Ok. Yes, a video would be great. My knowledge on the difference between Nurbs and subd is a bit foggy, but I gather from your answer that if I wanted to I could fix my NURB in blender, then export to Nomad. Is that right? Thank you so so much for your time. Can’t wait for your Gravity Sketch course!
Brilliant work, Glen! I'm new to Nomad (just sub'd here), though not your work. Aside from price (!), what's the advantage here over ZBrush, or even 3D Coat? Does Nomad export in a format that can be opened readily? If so, could ZBrush decimate Nomad models? Thanks! Great ships, btw! :)
Hi Kev. I’m just writing an article on this topic actually. In summary there two main types of people that I see using mobile sculpting and they are diametrically opposed. There the utter beginner they sees it as a cheap way to experience 3D. Then there’s the established artist that is already proficient with ZBrush, Blender etc that uses it as a way to continue working away from the desk. There are problems for both camps of course as it’s relatively new as a format (Forger is actually 11 years of development which people forget). What’s really holding it back is a lack of the more technical features like uv mapping, projection of high to low workflow, retopklogy tools and a few other key things
Your voxel count seems to scale differently than mine does for a similar slider position when merging and remeshing. Is that something you can change or does it automatically scale with your hardware or something?
My understanding is that the voxel count is based on the size of the mesh you have selected. That is, the slider/number is the number of voxels on a side, so if your mesh is, say, 10 units tall, 100 voxels per side is going to be a lower resolution than 100 voxels per side on a mesh that's 1 unit tall, if that makes sense. I'm just basing this on my experiences in the app, though. Try making a new object and moving the voxel slider all the way down to 5. You can see that the preview grid has 5 squares per edge, regardless of how big you make the object.
Go to display settings and look at the bottom to where it says Voxeldynamic remesh. Crank that as high as your machine can handle. I just picked up the new 2020 ipad so I go bat-shit crazy in mine ;)
Love your videos, but with this one the loudness of your tapping was so LOUD. It sounded like you were trying to stab through the iPad half the time. Not sure if you had you mic in a different spot or what. This is the first video by you that this was happening that I’ve watched and hopefully the last. Keep the videos coming though!
Nice tutorial. I can’t get behind this though. It basically destroys all the benefits of traditional hard surface modeling. You have to have an insanely high poly object in order to get sharp edges, and they’ll still never be as sharp as poly modeling. And then editing in any way, shape, or form is impossible without basically destroying the clean, sharp lines of the model. It’s fine for a couple small items though as long as you keep in mind these are sculpts and not hard surface models. I’d never do a space ship or something in a sculpting app. What a terrible waste of time. I’d be so sad at the end having a nice ship that I couldn’t edit or copy parts from.

Do it Dan. I’d like to see you do a Spaceship.
splendid!
Thank you!
THANKS !!!

There’s always lots to learn. I say the same thing most days lol
@@SouthernGFX true bro..very true.
Excellent!
Impressive job as usual
great video. thank you
Great video! Thanks man!
awesome! great video, thank you! Couldn't you just lower the "multiresolution" slider to a low poly count while modeling THEN increase it once done?
Very nice. Could you reduce the sounds of your pen every time you touch your ipad? It's very noisy on speakers; Maybe by using some nvidia noise reduction? Thanks
Do you think it'd be possible to use Nomad for car design? I've seen some amazing car renders/ models made using blender and it got me thinking 🤔
Thank you so much for share your skills

You are amazing thank you 🙏🏼
Soooooo fantastic!!
Wow, thanks a lotttt!!!
OO' ShadowBox !!
This is great stuff, Glen. Is there anything you CAN’T make with this little app? ✊🍷🎩🎩🎩
Clean, I mean really clean geometry.
Just kiddin.
I like the minimalistic UI, compared to other cad Software.
Nomad got really powerful. I have to open it again. I wonder if they have implemented posing tools. Btw, what iPad screen recording software are you using? Thanks.
Just pull down the small menu on the top Right& click record while earphones plugged in.
Forger has modelling tools are mischievous effective
hey why trim tool doesnt give sharp edges when i cut ? even with high res im not able to cut clean corners whats the trick?
Amazing.
how do you display grid in back with the front view ? thanks
you mention in this video that youre looking for future updates to have decimation or some form of way to reduce polycount. has that happened yet?
Hey man, been loving your videos. Is there a hotkey to duplicate? I dont see you going to scene menu and duplicating.
Might just be an edit issue. Most times I’m just using the duplicate in the scene menu as you say. I’ll double check in the morning
@@SouthernGFX no worries man. I just rewatched and I see you are using the scene layer panel. I got excited for a second . But hey for sculpting on-the-go I can deal. Thanks for all the great nomad content. Been really helpful
@@codyrubino5715 hahaha. Nice! You got me thinking it would be awesome to have a hot key menu like procreate. I’ll suggest it to Stephane
Have you ever used 3dCoat for pc?
Kind of wish they would release Nomadsculpt on PC. It'd be a nice competitor to Zbrush.
Try it. It’s a little bit limited with saves but it’s amazing. I hope Stephane takes it a lot further. th-cam.com/video/KtPWnEVre6g/w-d-xo.html

Depends on the goal.
I think its nice for clay printers.
The UI is minimalistic.
