The record

Purpose: Sculptura 2 is a 3D sculpting app for creatives who want to sculpt on an iPad with Apple Pencil.
Sculpting tools: It includes artist-curated tool presets and a Tool Factory for creating custom tools.
Volume engine: Sculptura uses volumes based on signed distance fields instead of traditional polygon meshes.
Rendering: The app offers interactive path-traced rendering and ray-marched rendering for high-resolution models.
Materials: Physically based rendering with image-based lighting shows models in real-world lighting environments.
Procreate export: Sculptura automatically generates UV maps so users can export models to paint in Procreate.
Layers and painting: Models can use separate layers with different volume resolutions, and users can paint materials with vector strokes.
Performance: Sculpting and rendering are GPU-accelerated with Metal.
Device recommendation: The maker recommends an iPad with an M1 chip or later, and says M1 or later is required for path-traced rendering.
Refunds: The maker says dissatisfied buyers can request a refund from Apple.
Support: The maker directs questions to [email protected].
Android availability: The maker says it currently has no plans for an Android version.
macOS availability: The maker says there is no macOS version currently and that one is under consideration.
