CG Channel writes,

The app, which is currently available for free, offers basic sculpting and detailing tools. The geometry can be textured by importing images or capturing them with the iPad 2 camera and ‘stencilling’ them onto its surface.

123D Sculpt offers 17 base models. Five further packs of four are available from the App Store for $0.99 each.
