Nomad 3D modelling and sculpture on iPad

This is what I had within 20 seconds of starting the app for the first time (having read no instructions or watched any videos). It starts with a spherical clay ball in the middle of the page. It is also set to mirror anything done on one side over to the other side (perfect for head). Notice the zoom-in on the upper left - this makes it clear that working within this app is about pushing and pulling polygons. iPads now have the computing horsepower to handle this task. To 3D print hollow objects one needs to export from Nomad into either a CAD program (like FreeCAD) or a slicer.

3D Modeling
3D surface modelling tools enable the creation of objects by starting with a basic shape having polygon surfaces and then subdividing, pushing and pulling the quadrilateral or triangle polygon meshes to form shapes.
