## What is Forger?

Forger is a desktop-class 3D modeling and sculpting application for artists that want to create anywhere. Forger now pairs its award-winning sculpting toolset with the powerful polygonal modeling engine from Maxon’s venerable Cinema 4D desktop application. Forger now offers the best of both worlds in one 3D creation app: sculpting’s organic expressiveness and the exactness of hard-surface, polygonal modeling.  

The new Forger includes:

· An intuitive multitouch interface, Apple Pencil support, draw-to-select and on-screen navigation and orientation tools gives artists an intimate, intuitive and powerful way to manifest their ideas as digital 3D creations.

· A full library of polygonal primitives to get started quickly, including:  cube, sphere, hemisphere, platonic, cone, pyramid, disc, cylinder, tube, oiltank, capsule, and Torus.

· The full polygonal modeling engine and tools from Maxon’s Cinema 4D desktop solution, including Transform, Extrude, Bevel, Inset, Bridge, Line and Loop Cut and more.

· A desktop-class sculpting workflow and brush engine that offers the power of a Desktop sculpting application, without compromises.

· A large sculpting brush library: standard, clay, flatten, move, pull, smooth, pinch, inflate, crease, scrape, polish, planar, layer, stamp and mask. Each brush has an alternate function that does even more! Even use custom stamps (alphas).

· 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!

· 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 commonshortcuts 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.

· Bidirectional model sharing between Forger and Maxon's Cinema 4D, winner of a Sci-Tech award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, offering the ultimate in workflow flexibility. 

· File I/O - Save your scenes to the internal scene format and use the other popular file 3D formats to import or export new models or base meshes into your favorite 3D application.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I need for sculpting

*2025-05-28, version 2025.0.0*

I enjoy making 3D sculpts, but wanted to be able to create without a computer or laptop. This app is exactly what I need for sculpting because it’s simple, has many tools, and the interface is neatly arranged. I recommend this app for beginner 3D sculpture artists.

### 1/5 — Impression

*2025-05-21, version 2025.0.0*

I was told this was a beginner friendly app, yet everything is misnamed and you can’t really use the models for character creation. Overall sucky app if you don’t have a phd in game development.

### 2/5 — Seems broken

*2025-04-08*

Downloaded the app for the first time and it had a project saved from November 2024. I’ve never used this before so I thought that was weird. Maybe that’s normal? I don't know.  I worked on a project for a few hours learning the ropes and just testing things, just to find out NOTHING saved. The auto save setting was on, I saw the notification come up multiple times. I also saved (2 or 3 times just in case) manually and there’s nothing in the save folders. So I restarted my ipad, made an account thinking that was the issue but it didn’t help. No saved projects except for that mysterious sphere.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2025-03-29, version 2025.0.0*

But the paint brush is being laggy I think it might be a bug id appreciate that it will be fixed please fix it

### 1/5 — No export 3d for free user？

*2025-03-16, version 2025.0.0*

What a mean policy. I am an original paid users，now it needs a subscription for export a 3d model, if not you can only export the poor render result. who need it ? The render is horrible from any sculpture app, Forge too. Shame on your poor policy, turn to nomad

### 5/5 — Great but..

*2025-02-18, version 2025.0.0*

How do you change the opacity of something

### 1/5 — Used to be a good app, but…

*2025-01-30, version 2025.0.0*

For the last year it has crashed every single time I tried opening anything. They updated it to a point older devices like mine can’t run it any more, and now it’s impossible to use. I’d come back if they released legacy support for older devices.. because I genuinely miss this app. 

Edit - apparently it’s even crashing on new devices now that I’ve read the other reviews. What the hell did y’all do to the app? It’s a scam.

### 4/5 — Great in my book.

*2025-01-07, version 2025.0.0*

I have used the app and i’m not a professional. I mean i’m a kid but, i like this app a lot and it has never had a problem for the time ive used it. I’m on mobile and it is good for a mobile app. I have before used blender but this is the option i use for practice a lot. I have gotten sloppy with the i’s tho.

### 1/5 — Thank a lot idiots wow this is pathetic

*2025-01-01, version 2025.0.0*

I was working hard on something and guess what I just figured out it doesn’t auto save I spent 1 hour you idiots get a life edit once again my build was destroyed again y’all don’t know how to make a proper app like do you even tried y’all are built like temu even china denied they made you bruh how are 2.9 with like 300 votes like bruh

### 3/5 — Decent still has a few issues

*2024-12-20, version 2025.0.0*

So first of all, it’s pretty annoying you you can only have up to three slots, can only export renders, and can’t import anything without buying the premium. Example, you just thought up a new idea of a model you could make, but oh no you already have three models. Now you have to choose which one to delete or just give up on the idea.It’s also pretty annoying when the tools aren’t small enough or big enough too strong or not strong enough, also Once I cancelled the auto save just as it saved and it crashed the game and didn’t save the model It’s also pretty annoying when you duplicate an item with a custom material and it’s also duplicates the material and eventually it comes a nightmare to navigate and find any specific material but overall a decent free 3-D model game and I’m still a beginner so who am I to tell you if the games good or not.
