I tried to sculpt a cat’s head on Nomad Sculpt for PC. It is surprisingly more responsive than blender on the type of laptop I have… Feedback appreciated.

    Looks really nice.

    Since you asked for feedback: the nose doesn’t look right. I think it’s to accentuated and too wide.

    Perhaps the forehead might look better a bit smaller?

      It’s the best I can do with my current skill. I know how to draw a car. But getting the tools on this program right is the hard part. Once I get used to using them I will have better quality. This was a test to see how well I could use the tools to get something that looked enough like something else… I am a complete beginner.

    If you’re going for a big cat face the nose is too tall. On a real big cat their nose would stop around the time this one starts flattening at the bottom. Like 70% smaller at least. The nostrils also aren’t in the middle of the nose like a pig. Instead they’re on the bottom edge with the nose resting over it.

    Otherwise it’s a very fun and energetic sculpt.

    Well the first thing you should always do when trying to recreate something is get some references. That being said I think the head would be more rounded, one thing you can also do is keep things like the eyes, ears, nose etc as separate geometry so you can move them more easily. Once you move from the large rough shapes you can consider attaching and blending things like ears. I’m not sure what nomad can do though, most of my hours are in zbrush.

      Zbrush is too expensive. This is my first try with nomad. Only $35 on PC. I have seen people do very amazing sculpts on Nomad. I am far from it. I did look at a reference. But this was as close as I could get it. I am still learning the dexterity needed to use the program’s tools. Zbrush is way more sophisticated and there is an easier way to get base meshes but nomad you have to make them yourself with the available tools. I am jealous of those who can afford zbrush. Isn’t it around a thousand dollars for the program or did they switch to a subscription model?

        Student license then not caring about buying it means I’ve never actually spent that much. Yeah I just looked and I guess zbrush doesn’t even do decent perpetual licenses anymore…
