I’ve been testing out this “save as” method for the past few days, and it has proven to be a bit tedious and frustrating.
My workflow usually consists of sculpting hands and other body parts separately from the rest of the model, so sometimes I can have up to 3-4 projects for one model before i end up merging them all together.
Before this change, all I would have to do is load a new project and get right to sculpting. Now, I have to load my “template” project that has all my settings, save it under a different name, and then start to sculpt. It might not seem like a lot, but when you’re doing it several times for each model you’re working on and trying to not to forget about overwriting the “template” project, it gets frustrating really easy.
I’ve found myself instinctively pressing “New” each time, and then realizing my settings don’t stay, and I have to go through the process first. In my opinion, I do not feel like this is a good alternative.
I started to learn and enjoy this program due to the ease of creating and the fact that every time i load up, it felt like i was picking up where i left off. Almost every project I have saved on Nomad has the exact same settings, lighting, shading, etc. since I found the perfect settings for me. Now, loading into a new project makes it feel unfamiliar again.
I’ll continue to try to adjust to this workaround because Nomad has become my favorite sculpting program, but if it proves to be too tedious while working on future projects, I feel like I’ll end up not using the app anymore.
Hopefully this feedback helps.
