Head Model Studio - Art Study 4+

Extremely useful tool; wish there was a one time option for premium

This is a great tool and having it has been game changing. I wish there was a one-time purchase option for the premium version, however. Unless one is added, I probably won’t be upgrading, but the free version is honestly pretty good. It has the functionality needed and that’s all I can ask. Thank you, devs, for putting out this app.

Update: Hi, Wes. Thanks for the response. I hope you’re well. I did actually end up upgrading to the subscription yesterday. I do prefer one-time purchases, even when they’re substantially more expensive than a subscription, but I realized that I wanted to support the app and its development as it’s been incredibly valuable to me in spite of my disdain for subscriptions. (Looking at you, Adobe..) I think the value I’ve derived from even just the free version since installing it was worth the cost (and definitely more than the reasonable ten dollars per year that it is), let alone the premium features and potential for future updates. The premium features aren’t super necessary for my purposes, but I wanted to support anyways and they’re nice to have; I like the guideline function a lot. Thanks again, both for the response and for putting this app out there. :)

Hi Nurse Elsa,

Thank you for the review. 

I understand that people prefer one-time purchase, I prefer them too. Unfortunately it wouldn't allow me to hire 3D artists to add new content over the years. I made sure the subscription doesn't renew so it behaves as close as possible to an in-app purchase.

I am glad to hear that you're finding value in the free version.

Don't hesitate to reach out via the app if you want to share more thoughts or feedback.
Thank you for using the app.
W.

1 year review: Fantastic app keeps improving

About a year ago I spent a frustrating month going through all the different pose apps for iOS, hoping to find something a balance of good design and decent models. Maybe you're in that search now. It took me *ages* (and not a few dollars) to find Head Model Studio. I haven't looked back since.

Fast forward a year, and the release of the expression feature has utterly blown me away. It's like doubling the value of an already incredible app. Even on a phone the controls are somehow both straight forward and able to provide fine grained control. I can't wait to see them on all the models.

Wes, thank you so much - this is one of the best apps out there.

impression after some use

a veryyyy useful tool, especially where environmental and local lighting is concerned. However, i paid for the full (a very reasonable price, btw, thank you for that) so that I can make use of the facial morphing features. To my dismay, the modifications are not as diverse as I had hoped. Even after heavy tweaking, the different combinations of features still look very much the same. I am a novelist and artist. None of my characters look the same. I wanted to create a 3D model of my characters so that i can have a reference tool on my ipad pro to use when i want to draw each of them from different angles. Maybe the devs could adjust it to include a wider selection of eye, jaw, ear, and head shapes. I know it’s a lot of work. Im also a programmer and developer (making a few games with unity, 3ds max, reallusion character creator, blender, etc) so i understand the difficulty and work that goes into it. Designing my own would take way longer than i want. I just want to pick up my ipad and draw. By no means is this a bad app. its GREAT for what it is. I just thought the paid version would offer more options than it does.
