Procreate was first released in March 2011 and was the first pro-level drawing app that really grabbed people’s attention on the iPad. Fast forward to November 2021 and we now have Procreate 5.2. It’s an amazing update in lots of ways, but the biggest addition is the ability to take 3D models and use all the Procreate brushes and effects right there on the model.

Procreate comes with a few 3D samples that enable you to get going the second you download the app, but the real power comes when you take your own models from programs such as ZBrush, Blender, Maya and even models created on the iPad with apps like Nomad Sculpt and Forger. Models have to be unwrapped and have UV coordinates, which is how textures are applied to models in 3D.
