What Nomad Sculpt is
Nomad Sculpt is a sculpting and painting application for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, with a built-in renderer and 3D-print export. Its tools include sculpting brushes, customizable strokes, vertex painting, and layers for sculpting and painting changes. Mesh features include multiresolution sculpting, voxel remeshing, dynamic topology, decimation, face groups, and automatic UV unwrap. The renderer offers PBR rendering, lighting, shadows, and screen-space post-processing effects. The manual lists import support for NOM, glTF, OBJ, STL, PLY, and experimental FBX, and export options including glTF/GLB, OBJ, USD, PLY, STL, and FBX. The maker describes workflows involving Procreate and Blender. The desktop app can be downloaded and tried without an account. A desktop license is a one-time purchase: one key covers two Windows or macOS computers. Mobile versions are separate store purchases and do not unlock desktop access. Nomad Sculpt does not support animation or low-poly modeling, and its real-time renderer is limited to four lights.
