So yeah, very curious to hear your experiences with 3D creation on the iPad and whether you think it'd be worth it to invest in the Pro or not. I'd rather spend like $400 on the standard iPad and just use it for 2D art, then use my regular computer for 3D art, if that's the case. But can the standard iPad handle 3D modeling/sculpting apps? It seems like the iPad Pro would probably handle 3D modeling/sculpting apps better than the standard iPad, but I don't feel confident about dropping $1000 on a iPad Pro if the 3D apps for it aren't that good. This 14.99 app enables artists to sculpt and paint organic characters on the move, then export the results in OBJ or glTF format to refine in other DCC software. For 2D art, it seems like the standard iPad + Apple Pencil would be good enough, and it's a reasonable price. The Former Sketch fab developer Stéphane Ginier has developed and released Nomad Sculpt, a highly promising new digital sculpting app for iPads and Android tablets. I do both 2D and 3D art so it would be amazing if I could do both on the iPad. I am curious to hear what people think of the current 3D modeling/sculpting apps available and whether or not you would recommend them to someone who is used to the aforementioned programs on a desktop.Ī big reason why I ask this is because I'm trying to figure out what model of iPad to buy as well. For 3D art, I am used to using Autodesk Maya and ZBrush. I have heard a lot about the 2D art capabilities on the iPad, but not much about 3D.
