The software has evolved significantly from its initial release, now offering a stable and powerful toolset for VR sculpting that is unmatched in the market.
The intuitive controls and speed of model creation make it a favorite among artists, allowing for quick iterations and creative freedom.
The VR experience is immersive and enjoyable, with unique features like the robust boolean system and effective move tool that enhance the sculpting process.

The software still lacks essential features such as a proper layer management system, manual retopology tools, and a reliable desktop mode, which can hinder workflow.
Users have reported frequent crashes and performance issues, especially when switching between VR and desktop modes, leading to frustration.
The documentation and tutorials are outdated or insufficient, making it difficult for new users to fully understand and utilize the software's capabilities.

Users report that the optimization of the game is impressive, particularly with complex models, and note significant performance improvements in VR mode. The enhancements to the file system and tools have contributed positively to the overall performance experience.
- “Performance is still great with hugely complex models.”
- “The file system in VR changes a lot; performance is great and the improvement of the tools really worked out.”
- “Ironically, the VR mode has better performance for me.”
stability
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The stability of the software is criticized for being buggy, with users noting frequent crashes and freezes, particularly when attempting to import multiple objects. Despite showcasing powerful underlying tools, many feel it is still in a beta state, especially given the limitations in batch importing and VR functionality.
- “Adobe/Substance decided that this buggy mess is not a beta anymore, while it definitely is.”
- “The ability to import stamps in a batch is problematic; in Medium, you could just drag your objects into a folder, but in Modeler, they decided that a custom format is a good idea. They technically have the ability to import multiple objects, but it crashes/freezes when you try to import more than ~10 at a time, and that also can't be triggered in VR. Pathetic.”
- “It was buggy but showed the power of the underlying tools.”

Users have expressed difficulty in maintaining orientation while working on models, often finding themselves inadvertently twisting the view and working at awkward angles. This issue suggests that the graphics interface may lack intuitive navigation controls.
