ZBrush

ZBrush is a digital sculpting and painting software developed by Pixologic, primarily used for creating high-resolution 3D models with intricate details. It employs a unique 'pixel' technology that allows artists to sculpt, texture, and paint models in a highly intuitive, brush-based interface, making it a standard in industries like film, gaming, and character design.

Also known as: Z Brush, Zbrush, Pixologic ZBrush, ZB, Z-Brush

Why learn ZBrush?

Developers and artists should learn ZBrush when working on 3D character modeling, creature design, or any project requiring detailed organic shapes and textures, such as in video game development or visual effects for movies. It is essential for creating assets with high polygon counts and realistic details that can be exported to other 3D software for animation or rendering.
