See How It Works

ZBrush includes DynaMesh, which continuously remeshes the model into a uniform topology, allowing users to add or subtract volume without stretching the geometry. It behaves like digital clay, making it ideal for exploratory sculpting.

See How It Works

The ZModeler tool enables low-poly box modeling and precise mesh edits. Live Boolean allows real-time Boolean operations such as subtraction and union, simplifying the creation of complex forms and hard-surface details.

See How It Works

ZBrush integrates Redshift GPU rendering for real-time, biased rendering directly within the software. It supports features like subsurface scattering, emissive lighting, and metallic materials without needing external tools.

Perfect for organic sculpting

Pros

Zbrush software is packed with great features for sculpting and the iPad version is just as impressive. Overall I would say it is a nice tool.

Cons

The UI is a bit cluttered on the PC version and the iPad version follows a subscription model to access all features rather than offering a one time payment option which I did not like.

One of the best

Pros

With the vast array of tools available for sculpting models ZBrush is one of the best. We can easily transfer high-quality models into Unreal Engine which is a big advantage for us.

Cons

You will need a high end PC to run it smoothly and I find the cost is a little on the expensive side.
