ZBrush
ZBrush is a digital sculpting and painting software used primarily for creating high-resolution 3D models with intricate details, such as characters, creatures, and organic forms. It employs a unique 'pixol' technology that allows artists to sculpt, texture, and paint models in a dynamic, real-time environment, making it a standard in the film, game, and VFX industries.
Developers should learn ZBrush when working on 3D art pipelines for video games, movies, or visual effects, as it excels at producing detailed sculpts for characters, props, and environments. It is particularly useful for concept artists, character modelers, and anyone needing to create complex organic shapes with fine textures, often integrated with other 3D software like Maya or Blender for final production.
