### 2/5 — Прочти перед покупкой!

*2023-10-30*

Приложение не расчитано на профессиональный скульптинг, но, даже в качестве простенького приложения для скульпта оно никуда не годиться. Низкое качество кистей, они все рисуют слишком жирно, плохая оптимизация с пенсилом. Я запросил возврат средств. Ищите что-нибудь лучше, ах да, тут еще ужасно реализовано вращение.

### 2/5 — Hard to use and can’t upload to another app

*2023-08-11, version 1.3.8*

It’s so hard to use! I can barely get around the tools and when I do, my fingers hurt. And uploading to another app? HOW DO I EVEN DO IT?!!!

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2023-06-11, version 1.3.8*

So, right off the bat, I’m not enjoying the moving around controls. Yes your can move it around, but to just look at it and rotate it instead of turning, is non-existent and makes getting back to upright orientation extremely difficult. You also have to press on your project to make rotating work. Another thing that I noticed that’s difficult to work with, is how fast the add/subtract tools work. It’s too fast to make minimal changes, even a quick little tap is sometimes too much, and adjusting the size doesn’t help, I’ve tried. Not only these but the light source is absolutely blinding if you turn to look in that direction. The symmetry is a little annoying with it lighting up every time to rotate but its bearable. Other than those, I can see the potential, it’s just a little difficult to control on phone/iPad

### 3/5 — Disappointing,

*2022-11-06, version 1.3.8*

Just really disappointing.

### 3/5 — No import

*2022-10-09, version 1.3.8*

I love this app besides the fact that theres no import, is it coming?

### 3/5 — 避雷

*2022-08-18*

功能非常少，想要精确制作是不可能的。顶多当高级玩具玩。

### 2/5 — Alright, but don’t use if you wanna 3D print…

*2022-07-03, version 1.3.8*

App is okay. Great for sculpting but otherwise useless. The 3D printing export feature isn’t any good. Objects can’t be exported in high quality. Can’t be used for 3D printing….

### 3/5 — only one problem

*2022-06-28, version 1.3.8*

tools handle nicely, everything i’m looking for, the camera is just a pain to use

### 4/5 — Very Easy To Use

*2022-04-08, version 1.3.8*

I think this is a great game because i just began making 3D models  and it is very simple. The thing is, the buttons need to say what they do. I know the game has a tutorial but its kinda exhausting going back and forth from my model back to the tutorial just to check what a button does. After awhile i have memorized all the buttons but i think the game should say a bit more in the tutorial. Putty if you are reading this, please fix this. Thankfully there are no bugs that I have seen thanks for reading!

P.S A lot of the other reviews are absolute nonsense.

### 3/5 — Rotating view is terrible

*2022-03-15, version 1.3.8*

It’s just not intuitive at all. I find myself struggling just to rotate m y view. The sliders seem to go from almost no difference to massive difference in less than a mm

### 3/5 — Putty 3D

*2022-03-07, version 1.3.8*

It’s ok. But it would be more entertainment and creative if there was a gallery image import option. To be able to take a picture of a loved one for example and sculpt them then 3D print them as a statue would be the BEST ADDITION TO THE APP☺️.

### 2/5 — It’s not great

*2022-02-21, version 1.3.8*

The controls are simple, but difficult even for beginners. The smoothing tool doesn’t work the greatest either. I was disappointed by this but I guess you get what you pay for :/

### 4/5 — Really cool

*2022-02-19, version 1.3.8*

This app is really cool but is a little hard I mean was

### 4/5 — Хочется цвета

*2022-02-18*

В какой программе дальше можно красить модели? В Procreate не загружается, жаль :(

### 2/5 — Why Can’t I Import Files?

*2022-02-06, version 1.3.8*

Also, I can’t see what I’m doing very well because it’s all the same color. And I don’t know where the y axis is

### 1/5 — Add coloring, and better sculpting.

*2026-04-26, version 1.3.8*

What the title says.

### 1/5 — Absolute trash

*2026-03-30, version 1.3.8*

Can’t import or open stl/obj files. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-04-17, version 1.3.8*

They have hidden any ability to cancel your subscription

### 1/5 — 8.00 for nothing

*2023-08-11*

This is absolutely just wrong,Money wasting  and hard to use! Not enough tools  and time wasting,you can barely even see  what the tools  are doing except for the first one idk why y’all saying this is ANY GOOD!even when I try to sculpt something and make a seperate dot  it just deletes the whole thing when I try to undo the one dot.small amount of  shapes to choose from and I can’t just make the shape because again.HARD TO USE AND NOT ENOUGHT TOOLS!I would rate this a zero but I can’t,so I give this bad app a 1.Do better

### 1/5 — Difficult to use poor import/export options

*2023-06-16, version 1.3.8*

Really bad very difficult to use the camera and the sculpting tools, cannot even use a simple sphere export because of missing UVs

### 1/5 — No undo- don’t waste your money

*2022-11-17, version 1.3.8*

There’s no “undo” feature- which can be extremely annoying if you’ve gotten a base you like, only to completely ruin it by not having the angle lined up right and having to attempt to fix it or completely start from scratch. Extremely annoying.

Edit: Will also rob you of your money. Don’t buy if you’re not 210% sure you’re going to continue to use it more than once, otherwise apple will tell you it’s “not eligible for a refund”. It may “just be $5”, but that’s still a lot of money to waste on something you won’t use- especially in this economy.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2022-07-09, version 1.3.8*

Bruh, I saw all the bad reviews and I should’ve listened, it’s rlly glitchy, and the tools are rlly weird compared to other sculpting apps, DO NOT BUY

### 1/5 — Warning

*2022-06-27, version 1.3.8*

the worst app ever

### 1/5 — Awful

*2021-12-04*

Really terrible,no fine tuning here it’s a complete mess.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever Can’t even do stuff

*2021-10-24, version 1.3.8*

I just want to do 3DAnimation but it’s not good

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-12-01, version 1.3.8*

this app takes a while to learn, but a useful tool that helped me was the mirror tool, which is in the bottom right corner it is very fun to make things if you have a 3-D printer I’m pretty sure you can export it to that I have one, I haven’t tried yet

### 5/5 — Love this

*2023-07-27, version 1.3.8*

If you have a 3D printer this is for you. It might be a little hard at first but just keep going.NOT A WASTE OF MONEY.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-01-20, version 1.3.8*

Can print on my 3D printer

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!

*2022-11-30, version 1.3.8*

I really wanted a 3D making app, and this is the one! Keep it up!!

### 5/5 — ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

*2022-11-22, version 1.3.8*

This is really good I’ll give it 10/10
It’s super creative

### 5/5 — Really good, have some suggestions though

*2021-10-20, version 1.3.8*

I actually really like this app. It’s nice for my game development if I want to make a game purposely look thrown together (this is a compliment). It’s not exactly the most powerful thing ever, but you know what, it doesn’t have to be and shouldn’t be blender. However, I do think you should add the following:

1. Importing your 3D model into another 3D model made in Putty
2. Adding spheres, cubes, and planes via button
3. A way to have layers of modeling (so you could move scale and rotate different layers, extending the apps capabilities by a lot).

That’s just what I think. Would really make this the best tool for 3D modeling for my workflow before I go to blender and have to learn that. Good job though!

### 5/5 — The game I’ve been looking for

*2021-08-26, version 1.3.8*

It’s amazing how you can create 3D creations! You can even use a 3D printer to make your drawings come to life! Some feedback I have is the color of the material with the creation. If feel like you could add more colors for us to customize better! I also think you should a tracing board. It lets you use a picture from your gallery and puts it behind your creation so you can trace. Great game!

### 5/5 — Totally cool

*2021-06-26, version 1.3.8*

It takes a minute to understand what all the controls are but even just messing around with the clay is very fun

### 5/5 — Rough rough sketches only

*2021-01-10, version 1.3.8*

I was hoping to implement this into my workflow but it’s too simple. I can imagine a character designer using this for a very rough sketch, other than that it’s entertainment.

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-10-19, version 1.3.8*

I’ve been searching for a way on IOS to make 3 dimensional art and this is perfect! Glad it supports 3D printing too, so bonus points for that. I highly recommend this good-for-begginers, intuitive app.
