Has Serious Potential

Kah O on

Dear developer, thank you for creating this app as this app. I will list my Pros and Cons. The Cons are the key few things missing that will make this app the best in it category on the iPad store, and it would be great to see the features listed in the Cons in coming updates. Pros: - cleanest and easy to understand UI from the other competition on the App Store. - has less bugs and perform a bit better than the competition e.g ‘forger’. - when you click hold a tool, it shows a tooltip of the tool name function, this is very useful and helps quickly get familiar with the app icons and the 3D tools. Cons: - you can only make one bevel edge at a time, wish I can click the handle of the bevel icon and input how many bevels I want and distance unit. Plus I feel like it would be nice to have a better bevel topology as it currently buggy and some areas don’t bevel at all. - similar to above, wish I can make multiple loop cuts at once and not one after the other, by having the options to input the amount of loop cuts in the app. Would be nice. - Performance is okay, but could use some more power. - UV Editing, wish I can atleast edit UVs and also mark seams on the object edges before exporting to desktop 3D apps. - FBX Export Pls. You’re doing a great job sir. And I feel like more videos on YT from the developer about how to use the software and just tuts in general will really push this app to the audience. So far so good am enjoying the modelling on the go with my iPhone and IPad Pro.

Super-super-super but (mais…)

Vraiment une très bonne application, très performante, très bien construite. Mérite facilement 5 étoiles. Je lui en donnerai une 6ème s’il y avait une traduction dans les principales langues internationales (français-espagnol-allemand). C’est un logiciel international, il faut le construire avec toute l’envergure qu’il faut. L’apprentissage et la maitrise en serait d’autant plus rapide. Really a very good application, very efficient, very well built. Easily deserves 5 stars. I will give him a 6th if there was a translation into the main international languages (French-Spanish-German). It is an international software, it must be built with all the scope it needs. Learning and mastery would be all the faster.

Great app!

I’m shocked that this app currently has only a 3 star rating. Valence 3D is pretty amazing. I’m still quite new to this type of hard-surface modeling. I’m more used to digital clay (like in Z-Brush or Nomad). There’s still a lot to learn, but so far I’m finding Valence easy to use and very capable. Looking forward to using a workflow of starting in Valence, moving to Nomad, and finishing in Procreate. For anyone having trouble there are tons of videos on YouTube with plenty of artists making amazing things with Valence. And I’m pretty sure there is just one person developing this app. Great job!

Bring back the old way of accessing the drag and loop selection.

Bring back the old way of accessing the drag and loop selection or have a way to keep the menu open until I want to close it. Way to many pencil taps. What is the develement path? Will there be a option to see the number of vertex, faces in your scene? Will there booleans added? Will there be a fill option. For example if I have square and inset the face and then delete the smaller face. I want to be able to select the two inner edges and fill them. It can be done on the outter edge but not on the inner edge.

Cant open the app

App just wont work, after a while it just goes to the home screen

Good App. Developer added Manual and bug fixes.

dlforbes on

Brand new app. Developer is very responsive and fixes the bugs reported. I am enjoying learning this app. Recommendations to label icons and increase brightness of select.

Ok…

I’m taking a chance on this new app, I hope I didn’t throw away $40. I very much like no subscription, but I’m experiencing crashing and as the other review states, a good tutorial section is needed. I’m still optimistic! I hope you get this worked out

Good start, needs more customization

Coolnomore on

United States

This it’s a pretty solid program and I look forward to see its progress. Right now it’s not “fun” to use and I find myself wanting to quit the program due to frustration. It’s clunky in a way that you cannot customize the interface. I am constantly selecting tools from all over, especially the ones I use the most. I would like to move tools around to better fit my work flow or alter the tool bar to a tool window which would have multiple short rows of tools instead of one long one that you have to scroll up to access all the tools. I feel that it takes me longer to model something low poly than it should. Right now I know a big part of it is the learning curve, but the other part is the limitations of the program. I find the gizmo gets in my way when trying to select vertexes. The orbital rotation feels off not sure if it’s reversed or just user error. All in all not bad and can’t wait for future updates.

Missing features?

Keyboard shortcuts for Bluetooth keyboards for iPad/iPhone. (probably should just copy blenders shortcuts.) I'm having problems joining Verts and faces missing a edge or two. I do enjoy the app.

Incredible app to go hand-in-hand with Blender

Johnathan Strange on

United States

Very good UI, ships with its own renderer similar to Cycles. I’m extremely impressed with just the few minutes I’ve spent with it. Once this app supports booleans and reference images, it will rock for hard-surface blockouts and ideation. Tested a small model and exported to Blender just fine—needed 10x scale and rotate X.
