Last year I bought @nomadsculpt.com for iPad.I made this submarine with a tutorial to learn the basics.Since my ZBrush license expired a few days ago,I got Nomad and the submarine back to remove the rust adding stuff and mainly materials.excellent software! #gameart #nomad #inthehunt

I was a bit rusty with Zbrush, so I wanted to do this little project. Unfortunately, after I started, my Zbrush license expired the next day. So I continued with Nomad (bless the perpetual license!). So I'm still a bit rusty with Zbrush. 🙃

Having a decent base for the body from my previous project (here: www.artstation.com/artwork/oJkn2B ), I decided to expand it and create a complete mecha. 10k tris. Textured in Painter,renders in Marmoset Toolbag. Artstation: www.artstation.com/artwork/qJr3ba #gameart #mecha #gundam #hardsurface

A little preview before UE5 for better renders. Let's see. Aesthetically, I wanted to make something similar to a plastic toy, and I don't know if I achieved what I wanted; maybe I'll go back to Painter. Feedback really appreciated about this! #gameart #mecha #robottoni

Took about an afternoon. very low poly, 4k tris, even if I took some freedom because this stuff would probably have made a PS1 explode : D I focused on achieving the right aesthetic than on the technical side. Textures strictly 256x256,one trim for env. No PBR. Crt effect done in Ps. #gameart #ps1

...and done. Rendered in UE5. I like it for being a small project resulting in a nice asset. More renders and wire in my Artstation page: www.artstation.com/artwork/WXY8gJ

Ok,I'd say I'm calling it done, I've added some detail in the texture to make it more sci-fi-esque, added a few hundred triangles in the keys to make'em softer. As soon as I have time I'll do the presentation renders. A little project done in my spare moments. Feedback appreciated! #gameart #gamedev

Tonight and yesterday I had a couple of hours to work on the texturing. This is the keyboard so far. I’m not sure if something is missing, maybe it needs more geometry or some extra sci-fi elements? Let’s see. (less than 4k tris btw). #gameart #props

After buying an iPad Pro 1TB with 16GB of RAM, I got Nomad Sculpt. Following a tutorial to learn how the program works, I made this in a couple of days. It's a WIP for now, but I'll move on to retopo and texturing later.

Bought an iPad Pro for sculpting, unsure if buy Nomad or subscribing to ZBrush. I want a workflow more aligned with the industry, so leaning toward ZBrush, but Nomad looks really good. Any advice? #NomadSculpt vs #ZBrush
