Nomad doesn’t compute UVs (hard to do in a robust and automatic way) UV is simply 2 coordinates assigned to each vertex. In other words, it’s the data that tells you how to unwrap any model to a flat plane. > [@John\_Mills](#): > > ProCreate is using a painting engine to paint the polygons also They paint the texture, like any other texturing apps. > [@CarlMcRaven](#): > > Nomad paints the polygons. Technically it paints the vertex, not the polygon itself. Except for STL export as it can only exports colors on the triangle (but there only a few software out there that can read the data back, and it’s not really something standard) > [@John\_Mills](#): > > Nomad just doesn’t handle these co-ordinates It does but only partially, if you go in Interface and check “keep UVs” it will conserve UVs when you load a model that has them. It doesn’t load any associated textures though, it will simply display a debug texture on it (if the model has UV of course). Also there is no Vertex painting baking to textures as of now (it’s easy to do but it’s a bit useless as there is no realistic workflow that could make use of it in Nomad) Also, the Cube/Box primitives in Nomad do compute UVs, so in theory you could have a workflow Nomad-\>Procrate: if you check the box AND then create Cube/Box AND restricts yourself to not use Voxel Remesher or Dyntopo you could then export OBJ to Procreate and it will work. But it’s experimental, don’t rely on it. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.nomadsculpt.com/t/exporting-3d-sculpt-on-procreate-beta-uv-issue/4211)._
