I see fantastic models done by people it’s incredible what people are able to do. but if ipads release with the M2 processor, could alot more be done in nomad then whats currently capable.
I have heard that you can get 20mil polys on ipads m1 But have seen a video where you can get up to 35 to 40mil. but im not sure how nomad might run at that point with lag,crashes or other software issues.
So could an m2 ipad bump that up to where you could get 40mil or more polys without issues?
Nomads culprit is RAM.
If a new model will have more than 8/16 GB RAM, you can expect a higher possible polycount.
The 1-2TB versions of actual iPad have 16GB.
32GB RAM would be a surprise to me, to be honest.
How come you can get an ipad with 1 tb of ram but only able to use 16?
Clarification is that the 1-2 Terabyte STORAGE versions of iPad Pros use an M1 chip that has 16GB RAM on the same CPU die (built into chip, that’s what makes it lightning fast). The OTHER type of baseline M1 chip has 8GB on-die ram (used in lower spec iPad Pros and iPad Air)
Look up Rene Richie YouTube videos if you want the gritty details, but cramming an M1 chip into an iPad wasn’t done to give you 8 or 16GB of ram, it was to save Apple a LOAD of development money by reusing a chip they already developed for MacBooks at the time.
Nomad developer Stephane mentioned elsewhere it’s iPadOS that currently limits 5-6ish GB to be seen by the hardware. Therefore not a fault of this app and for the short term, quite pointless to make the 16GB version one of your main purchasing reasons.
i have heard apple is planning on releasing a new os for ipad, so im hoping that fixes those issues.
Since iOS 15 the limit is raised to 12GB max for the 16GB version.
For the 8GB version it was raised from 5GB to 5.5GB.

Alright ^^
With Apple having just concluded its May 7 presentation, the 2024 iPad Air looks like a stellar value pick for Nomad: M2 chip, 11” or 13” size, supports the new Pencil Pro, and (finally!!) doubles their base storage from 64GB to 128GB. $799 for the 13” size
As for those looking at the 2024 iPad Pro, be wary that your storage pick will determine the two flavors of M4 chip found inside. 256GB and 512GB models will have an M4 with 9 cores and 8GB RAM. 1TB and 2TB models get 10 cores and 16GB RAM. Dual-stacked OLED gets its brightness to reach parity with the previous LED screen (1000nits in SD, 1600nits in HDR) Upgrading to the Cellular model bumps MIMO from 2x2 to 4x4.
The new Pencil Pro has a squeeze gesture (with haptic feedback). In the (33 minute mark) demo with Procreate Dreams, a squeeze of the barrel pops up a tool menu. I HOPE STEPHANE STEALS THIS FOR NOMAD!! It could still be very useful for those using the previous Apple Pencil: A button at the bottom left corner can also invoke the menu. Hopefully user-configurable, it could be populated with our favorite frequent brushes and other shortcuts. If THAT came to fruition, I can finally collapse my current tool pallete box back to the default single column.
Did viewers also catch the TEASE of ZBrush for iPad??
Thanks for sharing. Also hoping for some creative menu functions with the new Apple Pencil Pro inside Nomad. The new and more powerful iPads may also help with processing power. And yes, Zbrush on iPad looks great. I will still support Nomad as I have been a Zbrush user for a long time and refuse to pay any Maxon subscriptions. Nomad has been really fun to use and incredibly powerful especially with the latest updates.
