How it works

The software includes brushes for every sculpting task, tools for retopology and UV mapping, and Polypaint for painting color directly onto the model. It works with other 3D apps in a pipeline, exporting high-resolution sculpts for rendering or 3D printing.

ZBrush is now subscription only through Maxon, at $49 per month or $399 per year, with the iPad edition included. A 14-day trial is available. It is unmatched for digital sculpting, and the price reflects that.
