OverviewZBrush sets the industry standard for digital sculpting and painting. Its features enable you to use customizable brushes to shape, texture and paint virtual clay in a real-time environment that provides instant feedback. When you use ZBrush you’ll be empowered by the same tools employed by film studios, game developers, toy/collectible makers, jewelry designers, automotive/aviation designers, illustrators, advertisers, scientists and other artists the world over. |
What’s New
The latest version comes with a number of improvements that make the industry standard for digital sculpting even better.
- The innovative Anchors Brush receives an update enabling use of the brush without the need for masking the surface.
- Split to Parts extends Knife Brush capabilities by allowing assets to be divided into pieces while keeping sliced parts as separate or unified parts within the SubTool menu.
- The Gizmo and Transpose tools now feature topology masking along with capacity to snap to the center of the masking region. The Gizmo and Transpose Lines can snap along the masked area, making artist’s masking workflow easier.
- Cinema 4D noises are now available in the ZBrush surface noise gallery.
- With the new Repeat to Similar feature, artists can easily repeat changes from a source mesh they are editing and have changes populate target meshes with the same polygon count. Repeat to Similar supports Sculpting changes, Full mesh replacement, Masking and Polygrouping.
- Grow and Shrink mask capabilities are expanded to include more dynamic control and increased design potential.
- A new stroke option called DragStamp is included. Allows for control of the intensity associated with an alpha being dragged onto the surface by moving the cursor back and forth.
- Two new buttons were added for creases promoting more control over areas of an asset where creases and edges occur. Crease Unmasked and Uncrease Unmasked.
- Insert Mesh Brushes are now compatible with Stroke menu options.
ZBrush provides access to diverse workflows and limitless creative possibilities!

DIGITAL SCULPTING Get empowered by the world’s leading digital sculpting solution. The powerful systems inside of ZBrush are designed to eliminate the constraints of traditional modeling and allow you to create freely, just as you would with clay. When you’re ready to move your 3D sculpt into a pipeline for animation, rendering or 3D printing, the tools to do so are at hand.
|
|
PAINTING & TEXTURING Because ZBrush works with tens of millions of polygons in real-time, you can paint directly on the surface of the model without first assigning a texture map or UV’s. This offers significant advantages compared to a standard workflow. The resolution of the texture map does not need to be decided in advance. You have the freedom to visualize, explore and create textures in 3D, and in real time.
|
|
READY, SET, RENDER Whether you are using ZBrush by itself as an illustration tool or as part of a production pipeline for animation, you will at some point want to show your work to others. ZBrush makes this possible using Redshift, as well as a powerful rendering system called BPR (Best Preview Render).
|
|
TOOLS PIPELINE The intuitive approach of ZBrush doesn’t end with sculpting and painting. Interoperability is at your fingertips, with support for key file formats and real time integration with a number of popular software packages.
|
|
COMMUNITY ZBrush is not just an application. You’ll be welcomed into one of the largest communities of artists gathered around any 3D software. From our active online community at ZBrushCentral, to our community events, ZBrushLIVE streams and online learning platforms – we believe in helping artists elevate one another.
