forger is a digital sculpting and texture painting application for the artist who wants to be able to work on the go. forger lets you sculpt and texture paint while you are on the train, sitting on the couch, or waiting in a queue.

Featuring an intuitive multitouch interface, many sculpting brushes, powerful remeshing capabilities, the ability to import/export OBJ files, a desktop-class brush system, and many other awesome features, now thanks to forger you can sketch out ideas anywhere you go.

File I/O
Save your scenes to the internal scene format and use the popular OBJ file format to import or export new models or base meshes, Alembic file import is supported too.

Brushes
With many brushes to choose from; standard, clay, flatten, move, pull, smooth, pinch, inflate, crease, scrape, polish, planar, layer, stamp and mask. You will always find the one you need for the right task, each brush has an alternate function that does even more! Use custom stamps (alphas) to finish your models.
forger has a desktop-class brush engine that allows you to be able to do anything you would in a regular Desktop sculpting application, without compromises, whether youre after using brush images, need jitters or want to do smooth strokes, you no longer need to compromise your workflow for using a mobile app.

Professional concept sculpting
With two powerful remeshing algorithms (volume based remeshing and edge-flow topological remeshing), the ability to cap holes, slice, split and merge sub-meshes; doing concept sculpting on a mobile device is no longer a dream.

Multi-resolution meshes
Increase the resolution of the model by multiplying the number of faces by four, whilst keeping the previous (coarser) version of the mesh as another sub-level. Step back and forth between levels to do big changes or work on details. Rebuild subdivision levels on previously subdivided meshes if importing from another software and carry on with forger!

Partial mesh visibility
Hiding parts of the model you are working on will help you focus on your sculpture, and getting to hard to reach areas.

Masks
Control the areas your brushes can affect by masking them. Masking will make sculpting in delicate areas easier.

Sculpt layers
Work in a non destructive manner by creating layers per sub-level for quick concepting and adjusting their intensities for different results.

Advanced stylus & external keyboard support
Users can choose whether they want brushes to be affected by pressure in strength or size. Users that are used to sculpting & texturing softwares will feel at home with keyboard support, allowing them to skip the learning stage of the app due to the very common shortcuts found in known Desktop 3D digital content creation tools.

Vertex Colors
Paint your creations with per-vertex colors for presentation purposes, use this to create rough base textures or final stylized ones.

Pros and cons of forger app for iPhone and iPad

forger app good for

Great sculpting app, 3 and a half stars.. Id give more if there wasnt the odd crash and it didnt try to access my mic which makes listening to music in app difficult.. Also needs an ios 7 interface... Looking forward to the 1.4 update thats soon to come, hoping it will address these issues
Just got the small iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil and with forger now supporting the Pencil this app is amazing! Its more sophisticated than other similar apps out there so I can do a lot more with it "on the go." Looking forward to what the developer has planned next for this valuable (and fun) app!
Hi, hau you can create adonit jot touth stylus support in feature?
This sculpting program is amazing, but it requires some time to get used to. Please, make the bust and body bigger, so even smaller details can be sculpted. I really want to sculpt detailed bust, but I need bigger object. If you do this, forger will probably be best sculpting app out there! Nevertheless, it is awesome already!
I was looking for a long time to find a mobile sculpting app for iOS that was comparable to Sculptris or zbrush....now, obviously this is no zbrush, but it is the close seat Ive ever seen on a mobile device! You can subdivide 6 or 7 times, add new spheres to give yourself more "clay" to work with, and switch between many brushes. This is an amazing app and easily blows 123d Sculpt out of the water. Im using an iPad Pro and have never had trouble with lag in this new version, it is honestly more enjoyable to sculpt in my iPad with forger than it is on my desktop with Sculptris. If youre looking for a fairly serious 3D sculpting experience on you iPad, this is the app you want!
Its a very fun app and I use it on the go to create base meshes to bring into ZBrush. Symmetry is still an issue though. Occationally, it wont create the symmetrical side to a stroke and that throws off the symmetry of the whole thing after that point. and I have never gotten the Scan Topology button to work since it is imposible to select 2 faces in this app. There are also some crashing issues when saving any meshes over 200,000 points. It will do it but it crashes about 1/4 of the time and you lose whatever work youve done.. Still, I am giving it a 5 star simply because its solid app if you work around the issues. It has good support for the Apple Pencil and is easy to use. It must be difficult to make an app like this to work for an iPhone and iPad, so I have to give the developer props for the hard work.

Some bad moments

forger has a dreadful UI, not well thought out at all, but it has a good 3D engine and useful sculpting functionality. A couple tips for the developers: - Make rotation and panning camera controls a modal option. Multitouch trips camera movement too easily. - Get rid of redundant UI along the tab bar, and use menu nav by itself. - make sculpt, camera movement, object select & movement discrete modes (three icons in a row)
Downloaded this app and it crashes every time I click new ... Delete & reinstall ... Same thing !
I spent 3 dollars on this and it shows nothing? Wow, you know how to make somebody say the word "rip-off"
Seriously developers going to rate 1 star why u ask? Well forger is not working since summer so am rating 1!
Love this app but can you please add the ability to go back to the home screen. May want to add the manual to as a help function as I was pretty lost till I found it on your website.
Im a 3D modeler/animator/generalist, and this app is unbelievable for the work that I do. Being able to import and export .obj files is extremely useful. Being able to start a base mesh in this program, then bring it back to my computer to tweak in Autodesk Maya is an amazing feature. Navigation is extremely easy and intuitive, and the amount of detail you get out of your meshes boggles my mind for an iPad app. This program is basically ZBrush for three dollars. Even if you have no other experience with other 3d programs, i could see an average person still having fun being able to sculpt anything like clay with your fingers on this app. If i could give this six stars i would...this is the best app ive ever purchased on the app store. Hands down
