Valence 3D

one time purchase is a godsent, much love to you

Interface Thanks Oh on all devices well crafted UI

Scheint so als ob die Galerie nicht geladen werden kann, und das Programm dadurch absäuft. Auch wenn man sich in ein neues Projekt rettet stürzt das Programm irgendwann ab. Tja die 34,99€ waren mal wieder Lehrgeld! Nachtrag 03.04.2024: Fehler wurde umgehend behoben. Deshalb gibt es 4 Sterne. Den fünften vergebe ich erst für weitere Modellierungsmöglichkeiten. ;-) Nachtrag 04.04.2024: Nach neuem Update zur Fehlerhaften Speicherung/Umbenennung von heute gibt es wieder keine Verbindung zur ICloud. Nachtrag 05.05.2024: Startet mal wieder überhaupt nicht.

App ist auf keinen Fall das 35€ wert , hat nur wirklich ganz basic options , kein texturing , kein uv wrap, kein Loop select. Nutz lieber Forger 2€/mo

I would suggest you fix the tumble axes when navigating the viewport. I don’t understand how no 3D ipad app gets this right. Please just copy the behaviour of any desktop 3D app like blender or maya. When rotating around an object nobody wants it to flip to the side. There should at least be an option to switch between the behaviour right now and a locked tumble axes. I hope it’s understandable what I’m talking about. Other then that this looks like a very promising app! Keep up the good work!!

A Discord Channel would be nice.

This app is a really good start. I purchased it to support the developer. It is functional and I can get the basics done. I’m hoping we have a full blown mesh editor app on the iPad very soon!

As a programmer I can understand the state of the app, building a 3DC app from scratch has got to be a very intense task open to many bugs. That being said, as a former 3D artist I can also say that to be honest this tool is simply not in a state that allows it to be treated as a professional tool: many bugs simply ruin meshes and create “unselectable” topology which haunts you forever after appearing (not bring undoable either).. etc. I’ll try the app again in a few months hoping for some substantial upgrades in stability and bug-less behavior: it would be a 5 star then. A smooth selection tool would also be appreciated. Good luck dev 👍🏼 please keep up the updates.

I like most of the features, but is there a way that I can make X and Y lie on the grid, and make Z perpendicular to the grid. This convention feels more normal for me.

The developer of Valence has taken on a truly daunting task but one that has been needed since the introduction of the iPad Pro. 3D sculpting for iPad has been great with apps like Nomad and soon Zbrush but when it comes to hard surface modeling, the options we did have were severely lacking. Valence 3D finally changes that! For the first time, I’ve been able to do hard surface 3D modeling with an intuitive interface and get actual work done that I can then transfer to my laptop for finishing. The updates have been frequent and the pay once model is a serious breath of fresh air in a world where every other app wants a subscription. That being said, Valence still has some ways to go. However, I still think it’s more than worthy of 5 stars as long development keeps going at this pace. Some of the things I would definitely like to see to make this a more robust 3D modeler are: 1. Boolean functions 2. Curve tools (would be very powerful and easy to use with an Apple Pencil) 3. More interface customization (ability to move buttons, lock rotation axis, etc) 4. More reliable screen picking (there are occasional times where the app has a tough time telling which vertex point I am trying to select and ends up selecting a different point) If this is where we are this early in the software life, I cannot wait to see where Valence goes over the coming year! This very well could end up being the “Blender” alternative for the iPad.
