Zbrush is more something to think about when you need to do actual production work or start running in to limits with nomad, just chill and sculpt for now. When you need zbrush you'll know it.

If you're serious and want to eventually do pro level work it'd be worth it to start getting used to it sooner rather than later though.

And just a cheap xp-pen/huion tablet and any PC is fine.

>annoying to set up reference images

draw palette > turn on floor on z axis
then front-back > map1 > import your image
then just scale, adjust

that wasn't so hard was it?

never used nomad but i assume it shits the bed with very high poly meshes, but if you don't need to go that high then it's a non issue

does nomad have polygroups?
does it allow you to hide part of the meshes based on those groups?
how's masking? can you mask quickly and smooth out the mask?
does it have transposing?
does it have move topological? dam standard? mech cut? hpolish?
does it have dynamesh?
how are the insert mesh brushes? i guess if you're fully into sculpting you may not need them, but does nomad have them?
can you change the brush's alpha? does it let you make or import your own alphas?
does it have a way to add surface detail with procedural noises?
can you import displacement maps and apply them to the mesh?

Haven't used the trial version more than a day now but hard surface seems like a real pain in the ass with the workflow they have. The operations are there but they're folded under multiple menus and it's really unintuitive.

Still, I think it might be the best modeler I've seen on mobile as of yet, including the touch interface. There's a long way to go.

but shit is DOA if Blender ever gets a proper conversion to Android with a touch interface that isn't total unusable garbage.

If you have a compatible device I highly recommend just getting it, it's great as a bloody beginner tool to get into sculpting.
Nomad is very much intended as a sort of sketch pad for 3D sculptors to just go at it on smaller devices like your phone and tablet, the name Nomad alone should make it clear it's intended as a companion application for ZBrush and Blender users.
Exporting and importing is easy and the developer is constantly expanding Nomad, maybe some day it will become big, who knows. It's a one man project and the guy is pretty based.

no

yes
>does it have transposing?
no, apparently wip
>does it have move topological? dam standard? mech cut? hpolish?
yes
>how are the insert mesh brushes?
as far as I know limited to tubes, otherwise adding and importing + mirroring does the job
>can you change the brush's alpha? does it let you make or import your own alphas?
yes and yes
>does it have a way to add surface detail with procedural noises?
no

it doesn't have mech cut retard don't say yes if you don't know what that is
it doesn't have hpolish either and it doesn't have most of the adaptive trim brushes

It doesn't have actual move topological either, genuinely sorry for that brainfart, I didn't actually mean to type yes.
It also doesn't have Dam Standard, I made my own by copying the Crease brush and modifying it, it's not great but good enough to just fuck around.

That makes perfect sense. It's great if the developer understands that and optimizes it for that niche.
