ZBrush
What’s New
The latest updates to ZBrush for iPad and the desktop version enhance workflows for artists, whether they are starting a project from the comfort of their couch or adding final touches to a sculpt on their desktop: The Anchor Brush in ZBrush for Desktop receives a new Bend mode, allowing users to bend models with two anchor points and give a different deformation to the model than the rotate mode. Thanks to an improved integration of Redshift, users enjoy even better rendering of their sculpts and the addition of AOVs provides greater control in compositing. Various speed enhancements will boost workflows with much faster feedback when adjusting lighting or material attributes of a model. With the addition of Redshift Denoiser, you can get to a final render much faster without the need to raise the quality slider. Additionally, GoZ has been updated to simplify the process of sending sculpts from ZBrush for Desktop to the current versions of 3Ds Max and Maya, as well as exchanging files from ZBrush for iPad with Cinema 4D. This makes it easy to pose and animate your model, add simulations and particle effects or take full advantage of Redshift in Cinema 4D. Additionally, we’re introducing Pro Projects inside of ZBrush and ZBrush for iPad, featuring a set of holiday cookies.
ZBrush
Born in Clay
ZBrush 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. In fact, we have even received an Academy Award for the technology that powers ZBrush.
In short, ZBrush is an art tool created by artists, for artists. It allows you to create models and illustrations limited only by your imagination, at a speed that allows you to stand out in today's fast paced industry.

ZBrush
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.
ZBrush
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).
