Honestly, very pleasantly surprised by the interface here. It's still pretty dense because of the depth of the feature set, but it's organized so much better. It would set the art world on fire because people would have to spend an hour relearning the interface, but the desktop version could use a refresh like this.

I recently downloaded ZBrush for iPad. So glad to finally get to work with this program. Getting used to its free version. Sculptris & Blender have been my main source to sculpt my work with. I pretty sure I'm gonna have fun with this one! 😊

by the way, one interesting thing if you happen to have a magic keyboard is that you can also use the standard B shortcut for brushes and do most of the standard things that you would do to bring up your different brushes just like you do on desktop as well …….this totally needs 3-D mouse support though….. that would be amazing the little tiny Bluetooth version of the space mouse would be excellent with this - also a stream deck add-on if possible would take care of keyboard shortcuts like you wouldn’t believe.

Great explantion from the video! I wonder how do you turn on two blue cursor on Ipad while recording the video? Thank you!

Hi is it possible to show a performance difference breakdown between zbrush on the latest ipad mini, ipad air, the entry level ipad pro, and the maxed out ipad pro?

I'm curious as to if there is any real difference especially with an ipad pro with 8gb ram and 16gb ram

@FlippedNormals
thanks for the tutorial, I think they ported it great...quick question do you think it's worth it for the 16GB RAM 1TB M4 ipad or the lower RAM would suffice. I don't need 92 million polys per mesh, just want a fluid experience. Thanks

Heeey appreciate this tutorial. I'm not a Zbrush pro but I'm a hobbyist so was waiting for a more advance tutorial like this for the IPad version. Bought the M4 Ipad for this. Nomad and Zbrush are running perfectly! Really loving this new era of portable 3D design.

[chloelewis]

Man this is the video I'd been waiting for. Fantastic job.

[ISknneD]

Any idea if they are going to add in layers at some point for it? Surprised it's not in

[joescivic]

I hope the desktop version can have a UI like this.

[dtrip]

No Z modeler! I was waiting the whole video to see if it had ZModeler. If they get that in there eventually, that would be killer! Still it looks good, how does it feel vs Nomad...someone probably already asked this...I'll go look now.

[JMDArt]

For me ZBrush for iPad is a complementary option to the Desktop ZBrush. But Nomad Sculpt is way better for newbies and for people who only wants to create some 3D Character stuf

[jerookaskeroo]

Can we customize hotkeys for this if we use a keyboard?

[JoshFryer]

I'm pretty dependent on ZModeler, all in due time, but all in all, this is a pretty great v1.0! Seeing Lucas Cuenca's dragon sculpt on iPad during their launch video was pretty remarkable. Now, I just need a new iPad Pro! Great video!

[nickholl]

If i have a project with layers - do they simply get flattened when opening on the ipad?

[vfxforge]

can you guys do a realtime video capture of the performance on camera, not streamed ? Would love to see how much lag there is on the max claimed polycount.

[gregpolutanovich]

Will you do beginner Zbrush ipad tutorials?

[Ahntera-nu]

Not sure if you mentioned it but can you import brushes that you are used to from desktop? Like Orb brushes etc.

[mortezachaichian]

Can you export your files in free version? (in any format!)

Will SOMEBODY offer a class in character and Creature design in ABrush for iPad??!!!! The UI is very different from the desktop version, and it gets realllly frustrating in the transition. IDO like the new Apple UI-very streamlined!!!
