The whole Talla window in zen mode: a terracotta centaur on a dark viewport, with only a small axis gizmo and a “persp · shaded · detail 0” tag in the corners. The same window with the chrome showing: the centaur in the viewport, and brush, radius, strength, symmetry, detail level, and layer controls in a panel on the right.
Centaur scan from Three D Scans, imported as an OBJ.
The brush panel: Draw, Smooth, Grab, Clay and Inflate.

Brushes shape the form

Five brushes: Draw, Smooth, Grab, Clay and Inflate. Pull a silhouette, build volume, soften the surface. Radius and strength are two sliders; symmetry mirrors across X, Y or Z.

The detail level stepper and a layer list with one layer at full opacity.

Layers hold the detail

Keep changes separate on named layers: hide one, lock another, turn the opacity down. Step the detail level up for finer work, back down for the broad form.

The bottom left of the viewport: a small X Y Z axis gizmo and a tag reading persp, shaded, detail 0.

A quiet workspace

One viewport, one panel. Choose studio, MatCap or wireframe shading to read the surface. Press Tab to leave just the mesh.

Questions

Will Talla be free?
Talla is free to download and use during the beta. Talla will be a paid product afterward; pricing will be announced before the beta ends. Joining the beta takes an email address; the app itself needs no account.
Which Macs?
Apple silicon. Talla is a native app and renders through Metal.
Can I use my own models?
Yes. Import an OBJ, PLY, or USD file (usda, usdc, or usdz), check it in the import preview, and sculpt. The centaur on this page is an imported model. When you’re done, export the detail level you’re viewing as OBJ, PLY, STL, or USD, or send it to Blender as a Multires object.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Your meshes never do: sculpting and mesh processing run locally, with no account. The one thing Talla sends is an update check, if you allow it. Details are on the privacy page.
