Materials Not Applying

Tips, Tutorials and Help

Hi Nomad team and community,

I’m having a problem where materials are not applying at all to my model not just color, but also roughness, metalness, etc.

Here’s what happens:

  • When I tap or drag on a color picker (or change roughness/metalness), I can see the result in real-time,but only while my finger is touching the UI.
  • As soon as I lift my finger, everything resets visually nothing is applied to the object.
  • I’m not using Stroke Painting. This happens even if I just try to assign a base material color or tweak material properties.
  • I’m in PBR mode, not MatCap.
  • My mesh has enough geometry, and there’s no active mask or selection.
  • This happens with every object, even with new scenes.
  • It feels like the material system is stuck in preview mode and not committing changes.

Has anyone seen this issue or know how to fix it?

I’m on iPad, using the latest Nomad Sculpt version.
Screenshots are attached.

Thanks in advance!

You need to either hit “Paint All”, or use the Paint brush on the model. That real time display is so you can see exactly what that color/metalness/roughness is going to look like before you commit to it.
