Don’t Waste Your Money
I’ve paid for this app. very early on, when it first came out, or nearly so. It wasn’t a great app., but I figured it would greatly improve. Sadly, this is not the case. As the app. stands today, it should be free. The interface is clunky and there is a major flaw that I have seen from early on. For some reason, when a file is saved, then reopened later, it sometimes reverts back to a primitive. I think a square. Even the built in designs do this. I have tried reinstalling the app., but the same thing happens. Valence 3D is the only app. I have file “corruption” issues with. Very disappointing. I originally paid for this, since it seemed to have more primitives, than Nomad Sculpt had. I planned on using it for the purpose of starting with a primitive in Valence, then working on it to a certain point, before moving it to Nomad for detailed work. Since Valence doesn’t work, I now use Autodesk Tinkercad for this purpose. I used this app. way before Valence was created, but Valence seemed to have a future, where the editing workflow would have been better. Since this major flaw with Valence, I have ditched it for Tinkercad long ago, but would try Valence every now and then to see if it satisfactorily improved and hoped it would become an awesome app. that I would use frequently. I’m giving up today and uninstalling.

This app is great
I’ve had so much fun on this app making little projects Feature requests: 2. Make the render fast
