What Nomad Sculpt is

Nomad Sculpt is a sculpting and painting application for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Its sculpting and painting tools include brushes, customizable strokes, vertex painting, and layers for managing changes. Mesh work includes multiresolution sculpting, voxel remeshing, dynamic topology, decimation, face groups, and automatic UV unwrap. A built-in renderer provides PBR rendering, lighting, shadows, and screen-space post-processing effects. The manual lists import support for NOM, glTF, OBJ, STL, PLY, and experimental FBX. Export options include glTF/GLB, OBJ, USD, PLY, STL, and FBX. The maker describes workflows with Procreate and Blender, including OBJ texture exports for Procreate and glTF/GLB vertex attribute imports in Blender. The desktop app can be downloaded and tried without an account. A desktop license costs $35, paid once, paid upfront, and one key covers two Windows or macOS computers. Mobile apps are separate store purchases; buying one does not unlock the desktop version. Nomad Sculpt does not support animation or low-poly modeling, and its real-time renderer is limited to four lights.
