Join The Digital
Sculpting Revolution
The wait is over for ZBrush for iPad. ZBrush users have long been asking for a version they can take with them to make revisions on set, show art directors in-progress ideas for instant feedback, or just work where inspiration hits, like a coffee shop or the couch. Created by artists for artists, ZBrush for iPad is revolutionizing digital sculpting by making it possible to take the power of Academy Award-winning ZBrush on the go to sculpt, paint, and bring creations to life anywhere in real time with Apple’s touch-based capabilities!
What's New
The Spring 2025 update brings the most requested feature, ZModeler, to ZBrush for iPad. ZModeler introduces a revolutionary way to box model, significantly speeding up the process and the innovative QMesh mode enables users to easily add and subtract topology. This tool offers sculptors a seamless introduction to working with low polygon models, providing fresh and efficient methods for creating a base mesh.
We have also added Nanomesh to ZBrush for iPad’s toolkit, which enables users to populate mesh polygons with one or multiple models seamlessly. Additionally, ZModeler in ZBrush for iPad received a new and fresh UI. The new Insert Edgeloop functionality allows users to create Edgeloops at the middle, at every quarter, or at a user-defined position of an inserted edge. We also added a new selection mode in ZBrush for iPad and desktop, as well as user presets for ZModeler and a new way to use the iPad’s touch capabilities.
Additionally, ZBrush for iPad now supports UVMaster’s unique and easy to use gesture painting system for unwrapping UVs and allows users to create their own VDM alphas. And the extended Redshift support in the desktop version makes it easier than ever to create beautiful concept renders in Maxon’s digital sculpting solution.
ZBrush for iPad
and Maxon One
A sought-after addition to the Maxon One suite of tools, ZBrush for iPad allows users to create objects, creatures, characters, and much more before adding them easily to any 3D project. Maxon One’s seamless file exchange process allows for efficient workflow that doesn’t interfere with creativity, and ZBrush for iPad is also compatible with many other applications.
Improved User
Experience with
Apple Capabilities
ZBrush for iPad’s innovative UI design allows you to take advantage of Apple’s well-known, user-friendly touch capabilities. Pros and new users can easily use finger swipes and other gestures they already know to control common features, such as draw size, focal shift, undos and redos. Multiple Apple pencil features can also be used for a more immersive digital experience that speeds up the sculpting process.
Leading Brush System
for Sculpting
ZBrush for iPad includes the desktop version’s collection of over 200 proprietary brushes, so sculpting millions of polygons is as natural as sculpting with clay without the limitations of needing to work at a desk.
Highly Customizable
User Interface
ZBrush for iPad’s highly customizable user interface expands on the desktop version’s QuickMenu, making it easy to arrange sculpting tools for a more optimized, personal experience. And it’s also possible to customize the Apple Pencil double tap or Pencil Pro squeeze to complete an action, like framing a mesh in the document or turning on PolyGroup. Additionally, artists can put their favorite brushes, materials, alphas, and textures in the bottom bar for easy access to stay immersed in the sculpting experience.
High Polygon Count
Sculpt on the go without sacrificing polygon count! ZBrush for iPad offers the same level of detail as ZBrush desktop, depending on your iPad’s memory and version. The latest M4 iPad with at least one terabyte (TB) of storage, for example, can reach up to 92 million polygons per mesh.
