Bedankt Jurre!
Iâve been a long time ZBrush user and am looking to see if I can switch over to Nomad for Desktop. I purchased the iPad version at launch but never quite got used to it. Iâll definitely need to look into reorganizing the UI like how I have my Zbrush setup (old habits die hard).
Are there any other specific changes you would suggest to make the switch easier? I sculpt for 3D printing so scale consistency is important for example.
Additionally⌠My most minor of pet peeves: do you know if it is possible to have actual fullscreen window on desktop? I donât need my taskbar visibile on my display tablet. Nevermind! finally found it after exploring the UI deeper. 
@debiroux Geen probleem haha!
Besides there being a measure tool I am not sure about scale inside of Nomad. I donât think thereâs a similar thing like zbrush scale master, but I do know thereâs some tutorials online!
(Although this might just be setting up a ârulerâ object to base all your sculpts on.)
But the UI is actually quite organizable. Besides the custom brushes and changing some hotkeys, I basically copied some of my zbrush quick menus using the âadd shortcutâ option under shortcut.
Not everything is possible like in zbrush, but you can really add a lot of details and buttons into those shortcut windows! (You can also make them static so theyâre part of the ui instead of draggable, as well as assigning a hotkey to a specific shortcut windows so it opens and closes at the press of a button.

I just got here minutes ago and Iâm already grabbing stuff I have no idea how to use. But I saw Zbrush! And I said, âHey! Thatâs the program I had fifteen years ago that I had no idea how to use!â
Iâm making a promise not to open anything until I get back in sculpting shape, so thank you. Now I have some motivation to get crackinâ on this. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for these brushes. I love them.
Stayed up late testing out your brushes. Definitely an upgrade! Please elaborate on the switch between SmoothAlt & ZBrush Smooth? Donât quite get what you mean there.
Hi, maybe you can help. Weâre currently discussing in the NomadSculpt Discord whether itâs possible to configure a brush to behave the same way as in this video example. The artist is flattening the side of the nose, but the lip area is affected 0% by the brush, which creates a perfectly sharp edge.
We simply canât manage to set up a brush in Nomad that behaves like this ZBrush example.
Maybe you have experience with this, or maybe one of your custom brushes works exactly like that â I havenât tried all of them yet.
It would be great if you could share any insight.

I think I suggested switching the Smooth binding you use with âshiftâ on a keyboard with my custom SmoothAlt version. But this might not work when pressing the smooth button icon on the left side of the UI.
What I would suggest now is copying the smoothAlt brush settings over manually to the default smooth brush, then saving the default smooth configuration. (Which you can reset by clicking on it again and pressing reset)
With that default smooth brush altered to my SmoothAlt settings I now enable and disable the relax and Preserve Volume button whenever I want the smoothing to preserve some volume!
Hope that clears it up a little.

Heya @Holger_Schoenischka !
I could share some insight! While ZBrush has way more annoying and âadvancedâ brush customization options, you can get pretty close to those results actually!
I made some changes to my HPolish brush in my brushes file that I will share with you here! It should behave more like ZBrush now.
Also a video showcasing ZBrush and Nomad side by side. (All was recorded on desktop, your mileage may vary on Nomad for the iPad, but I think only brush intensity/pressure might need some tweaking for iPad!)
If you play with the Depth settings as well as the Area Sampling settings in Nomad you can get a very close feel. Attached is a video with me sculpting in a sort of similar fashion using my new HPolish2 brush. I will post screenshots of the settings too! (Side note: I canât get the Fill mode for HPolish to work exactly as zbrush. Zbrushâs edges are sharper. But if you alternate between normal and Fill mode you can get a similar result)
Hereâs the brush json as well as the screenshots!

Great, thanks. These brush settings for the Flatten tool actually feel really good.
Of course Iâve also been experimenting with brush settings, and I think Iâve now found a combination that works really well for me: my Planar tool together with your brush â the HPolish 2. For me that creates a perfect combo to work with.

Another quick tip:
If youâre struggling to rotate your mesh without touch/finger support, try these!
Button binding:
You might need to create your own binding first:
You can rotate your mesh in a circular motion when holding ALT + SHIFT and clicking or right clicking! (Or create your own binding!)
Trackball options:
Or change your trackball option and move the cursor in a circular motion

Also if youâre wondering if you can recreate the Roll/Twist function of the apple pencil on desktop, you can!
Barrel Roll example (Credits to Matt!):
If youâre using the drag or move brush, hold SHIFT while moving geometry to enable the barrel roll functionality:
