ZBrush is a digital sculpting and painting program that has revolutionized the 3D industry with its powerful features and intuitive workflows. Built within an elegant interface, ZBrush offers the world’s most advanced tools for today’s digital artists. With an arsenal of features that have been developed with usability in mind, ZBrush creates a user experience that feels incredibly natural while simultaneously inspiring the artist within. With the ability to sculpt up to a billion polygons, ZBrush allows you to create limited only by your imagination.

Designed around a principle of circularity, the menus in ZBrush work together in a non-linear and mode-free method.

ZBrush gives you all of the tools needed to quickly sketch out a 2D or 3D concept and then take that idea all the way to completion. You can create realistic renders directly in ZBrush with lighting and atmospheric effects. With the many powerful export options, you can easily prepare your model for 3D printing or use within any other digital application.

Because ZBrush users are enabled by its powerful software processing, you can sculpt and paint with millions of polygons without having to worry about purchasing expensive graphics cards. It is for this reason why ZBrush is used by everyone from art enthusiast to major film and games studios.

ZBrush is a powerful modeling tool, but it has a steep learning curve and can be a bit pricey

What do you like best?

I like that ZBrush allows for natural, organic modeling. It's my preferred software for soft surface modeling. The built in basic brushes are excellent for beginning modeling, and there are plenty of other brushes you can purchase or find open source on line. The multimesh brushes are, in-particular, very useful and convenient to use. I also enjoy that they added folders to sort geometry, but they operate a bit weirdly.

What do you dislike?

ZBrush can be a bit pricey and it has a very steep learning curve, especially coming from a modeling program like Autodesk Maya. It has some weird bugs and it can crash often, but autosave is generally helpful for that aspect. The way that ZBrush conducts booleans is kind of strange too, but at least that feature exists. For hard surface modeling, it's really strange to use the lightbox - but I consider ZBrush to be a soft surface modeling software anyways

Recommendations to others considering the product:

ZBrush is an excellent tool to use for organic modeling - if you haven't learned how to use it, I would recommend getting someone to show you the ropes, because it operates a bit weird

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The benefits of ZBrush are that it's infinity easy to create organic models in it over Autodesk Maya, I also love the UV unwrapping tools and the ease of painting textures using polypaint. The ZBursh community is also a huge aspect of the benefits of ZBrush, as everyone is kind and very giving with feedback
