Thank you so much for your patience, basis-high.
Fingers crossed it was just memory based.
Have a great weekend

Hi basis-high,
Sorry that no one has replied so far.
I assume that your iPad is not running out of memory.
Please check with tech support. This should be nothing that you have to deal with.

I hope you are working flawlessly and in no time with Forger again. Fingers crossed.
Cheers
Hi flight-climate,
I assume you refer to Forger Classic as the old one and Forger 2024 as the new one.
I would focus on the Forger 2024 version, as the features have improved and optimized for newer OS versions and CPUs inside the iPad. When you have explored the Classic, you might find here a nice list of the new features:
https://www.maxon.net/en/forger
The ZRemesher (coming from ZBrush) is typically already worth the upgrade.
The Classic version is no longer available, except if you had the license, then follow this article: (As I write in a forum, that might be of interest to some)
https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/articles/4409875134994-Restoring-Forger-Classic-purchase
The FAQ about Forger, related to common tech support questions, is perhaps worth a shot.

Enjoy sculpting
Hi flight-climate,
Yes, more tutorials would be nice, I agree.
How about this one:

I hope I got your request correctly.
When you have sculpted your model, you can duplicate it:
https://help.maxon.net/fgr/en-us/#html/objects.html?Highlight=duplicate
The copy can be mirrored:
https://help.maxon.net/fgr/en-us/#html/model-mesh.html?Highlight=mirror
Position the copy as needed.
The two can be connected to one Object; see image.
All the best
Hi Gravi,
In Forger, the measurements are just units. If you send it to Cinema 4D, it will translated along your project settings.
If you have the Cinema 4D default to centimeter, it will be one centimeter (Forger 1.0)
If your C4D Project>Scale is set to 1 Kilometer, it will be 100000cm.
The project scale and size matter in Cinema 4D when you work with parts of the app that need practical measurements, like Simulation, Dynamics, etc.
While you import the Forger object, you can adjust the scale as well.
Find what works best for your objects in Forger, then find the scale factor for both ways if needed, and stick with it.
All the best
You're welcome, check-feel,
The Dissolve tool, simply said, does not merge; it typically takes away definitions in a certain area of the model. Merging, from my point of view, would be more about creating a connection between or among polygons while not reducing the details.
The typical result of the Dissolve in Forger is an N-Gon, which has some advantages during modeling, but anything after modeling might produce questionable results. Typically, the mesh is triangulated inside the render engine, which might not be how it is preferred. N-Gons are polygons with more than four points to define the boundary edges. If two polygons are dissolved in an N-Gon, the amount of boundary (island) points does not change.
(Many three or 4-point polygons in a group are not an N-Gon.)

I hope that helps.
Cheers
Hi check-feel,
To my knowledge, having the Dissolve in the icon menu is not an option.
If you need this often, it makes sense to have it there.

Hi chemical-database,
Sorry about your trouble.
You just tell me it is not working, which gives me very little to work with.
There are a few steps, and each has a result. When do you not get the expected result, which would perhaps help to get it working? Please let me know.
https://help.maxon.net/fgr/2024/en-us/#html/fileio.html?TocPath=_____6
Such information should also be detailed if you contact the tech support
https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center
If the trouble you encounter is not a workflow but based on technical problems, like hardware or software code). Here, I can guide you as much as possible through the steps.
I used the current releases and the same WiFi (same "band" and frequency)
In Cinema 4D, I have set up the Preferences> Extension> Forger File Transfer.
I restarted both apps after set up, and I was able to round-trip my model. I hope we get this done for you as well.
One question: can you airdrop files? (I presume an iPad to Mac workflow)
All the best
Hi climate-sing,
Sorry about your trouble.
I assume you followed the steps shown here.
Make sure you are on the newest Maxon App Version.
If you have no working password, use the Forgot Password option.
If that isn't working, contact tech Support

I do not have access to the data base, you need to open a ticket.

Yes, as usual, I checked it, just in case the server is down.

It is very nice of you to update the thread, Oliver.
Thank you very much! I'm glad it is working for you!
Enjoy!
Sorry to hear that, Oliver,
I hope the tech support will be able to locate the source of the problem.
All the best
Hi Oliver,
I can't reproduce this here.
Have you checked the Selection options (tap on the selection icon) to see any changes with different settings?
Please check with the tech support
https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center
My best wishes
Hi Oliver,
The Smooth Button [~] is only available in the Sculpt interface, considering the "label" Smooth Button.
In the Model Interface, it is the Plus Selection, so far I can tell (It works here, please let me know if that is working for you as well).
I have requested to update the manual.
Sorry about the trouble; that should have been a much better experience for you.
Thanks for asking so it can be fixed.
Cheers
Hi split-salad,
I have no problems here and can't recreate this, which only means we have a different setup, perhaps. I'm sorry that your work with the app is currently limited.
When you use the Settings>Input type, is it all the same for all three options? Does it make a difference if only the pen touches the screen or the hand at the same time? I don't expect it to be answered for me, but for tech support, so they have plenty of data and cut down the response time.
Thanks for the detailed report. My question would be, what has changed? If the Forger version has been the same for a while, that will lead to checking if the iOS version has changed. That data might be useful for tech support.
If that was already an issue for some other artists, then it is on file at tech support. I have no access to it. I could find anything "googling" it.
Please open a ticket, with all the data from your post and if you like, based on my questions:
https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center
I assume you have the latest version on your iPad.
Fingers crossed it is working in no time!
All the best
Hi agent-land,
"How to close it?"
Closing an app on iPad
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212063
I'm not clear about what you experienced. With no input on your side, it has motion (revolving) on the screen?
This behavior continues after restarting even, meaning it is reproduce-able.
Would you mind:
Explain it a little bit more in detail
OR
check with the tech support
https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center
I hope that helped in one way or another; if not, please share more information. I'm happy to look into it!
Cheers
Thanks for the suggestion, climate-file.
My best wishes
Hi blood-king,
Sorry about your trouble. Not fun.
This sounds like a License problem, which hopefully can be fixed quickly.
Can you sign out of the app and sign in again?
It is the first screen you see when the app starts and shows you some of your work. In the left upper area is a circle with a "head" in it. This should get you going. Fingers crossed.
If that doesn't help, please check with the Tech Support:
https://www.maxon.net/en/support-center
I'm not sure if anything from that link will help you, but better to share it than not:
https://support.maxon.net/hc/en-us/sections/4408508575634-Forger
Please let me know how it goes.
Enjoy your weekend
Hi ring-grocery,
To my knowledge there is no Boolean option.
All the best
