Autodesk has released a nifty entry-level sculpting app for the iPad.
123D Sculpt, which is free “for a limited time”, enables users to customize one of 17 base models with a range of simple sculpting and detailing tools, then stencil photos on top.
Photos can be imported or captured directly with the iPad 2 camera.
It looks great fun to use, although there is currently no option to export the geometry, so for the minute, you’ll be confined to uploading your masterpieces to Facebook or YouTube.
Enjoy!

Pixologic has achieved new breakthroughs with the release of ZBrush 4. ZBrush 4 offers the freedom to explore and create; take your art from concept to final production asset without the need to leave the ZBrush environment. You can also use GoZ to transition between ZBrush and other applications.
With this new release, ZBrush continues to evolve in the directions established by the innovations of ZBrush 3.5. Building on the desire to add more modeling tools such as ZBrush 3.5's QuickSketch, ZSketch and Remesh, version 4 adds ShadowBox, Clip Brushes, and improved SubTools. Hard surface sculpting is now just as easy and powerful as organic modeling. With ZBrush 4 you can create vehicles just as fluidly as creatures, environments or characters. Sculpt anything you can imagine and then paint your work with the SpotLight PolyPainting projection system.
Export your work for 3D printing so that you can hold your creation in your hand!
