Last year I bought @nomadsculpt.com for iPad.I made this submarine with a tutorial to learn the basics.Since my ZBrush license expired a few days ago,I got Nomad and the submarine back to remove the rust adding stuff and mainly materials.excellent software!

I was a bit rusty with Zbrush, so I wanted to do this little project. Unfortunately, after I started, my Zbrush license expired the next day. So I continued with Nomad (bless the perpetual license!). So I'm still a bit rusty with Zbrush. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Having a decent base for the body from my previous project (here: www.artstation.com/artwork/oJkn2B ), I decided to expand it and create a complete mecha. 10k tris. Textured in Painter,renders in Marmoset Toolbag. Artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/qJr3ba

A little preview before UE5 for better renders. Let's see. Aesthetically, I wanted to make something similar to a plastic toy, and I don't know if I achieved what I wanted; maybe I'll go back to Painter. Feedback really appreciated about this!

Took about an afternoon. very low poly, 4k tris, even if I took some freedom because this stuff would probably have made a PS1 explode : D I focused on achieving the right aesthetic than on the technical side. Textures strictly 256x256,one trim for env. No PBR. Crt effect done in Ps.

The typewriter is photogrammetry, so that was easy peasy. The desk isnโ€™t mine, it's a Megascan asset (I mentioned that on the ArtStation page), but thanks!

I don't understand why there is confusion on this topic. The triangle is the simplest shape that can be built in 3d, a quad is not. A quad cannot deform if it were just a quad, which is perhaps the basic principle for 3d modeling.

...and done. Rendered in UE5. I like it for being a small project resulting in a nice asset.

More renders and wire in my Artstation page:

I've aimed to create a game-ready asset, then added a few hundred tris for portfolio purposes. Thanks!

Ok,I'd say I'm calling it done, I've added some detail in the texture to make it more sci-fi-esque, added a few hundred triangles in the keys to make'em softer. As soon as I have time I'll do the presentation renders. A little project done in my spare moments. Feedback appreciated!

Tonight and yesterday I had a couple of hours to work on the texturing. This is the keyboard so far. Iโ€™m not sure if something is missing, maybe it needs more geometry or some extra sci-fi elements? Letโ€™s see. (less than 4k tris btw).

After buying an iPad Pro 1TB with 16GB of RAM, I got Nomad Sculpt. Following a tutorial to learn how the program works, I made this in a couple of days. It's a WIP for now, but I'll move on to retopo and texturing later.

Yes, it is still One time payment. I bought the one year Zbrush license because I want to have a flow between iPad and PC, but I am tempted to buy Nomad

Bought an iPad Pro for sculpting, unsure if buy Nomad or subscribing to ZBrush. I want a workflow more aligned with the industry, so leaning toward ZBrush, but Nomad looks really good. Any advice? #NomadSculpt vs #ZBrush
