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. A digital sculpting and painting application.

Designed around a principle of circularity, the menus in ZBrush work together in a non-linear and mode-free method. This facilitates the interaction of 3D models, 2D images and 2.5D Pixols in new and unique ways.

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.

ZBrush Features:
1. 3D Brushes:
With over 30 start up brushes to sculpt with and the ability to create an endless assortment of your own custom brushes, it's easy to see why sculpting in ZBrush is not only powerful but incredibly easy as well. The natural brush strokes you get when sculpting across millions and billions of polygons gives the user the feeling like they are sculpting on a real piece of clay, or wood, or stone, or real any surface you can think of. The wide range of brushes you will find in ZBrush were created with real world sculpting techniques in mind.

2. Polypaint:
Polypainting allows painting on a model's surface without first assigning a texture map. A texture map can be created at a later time, and the painted surface can be transferred to the map. Polypainting offers significant advantages compared to standard workflow.

3. Illustration:
Even though ZBrush has revolutionized the 3D industry it is also a powerful illustration package! Based on the power of the Pixol, ZBrush takes digital painting to the next level. Unlike ordinary pixels found in other 2D applications which contain only color and position information, ZBrush's Pixol contains color, position, depth, lighting, and material information.

4. TRANSPOSE
Creating realistic poses to abstract deformations has never been so easy. Transpose lets you quickly isolate parts of your model which can then be deformed, positioned, scaled and rotated with incredible actuary.

5. ZSpheres
ZSpheres allow you to quickly create a base mesh with clean topology, which can then be sculpted into any form. The power of ZSphere lies with in their simplicity.

6. Surface Noise
Surface Noise gives you unprecedented control over the look and feel of your 3D surfaces. You can apply an endless variety of noise types directly to any surfaces regardless of polycount while maintaining the strength, size, and color of the noise you want to work with.

7. 3D Layers
Layers allow for a non-linear workflow. Artists are able to work with a model at many different stages of development simultaneously.

8. MATERIALS
In ZBrush, the appearance of any surface is affected by several things - its base color, its texture image (if it has one), the lighting that falls on the surface, and its material.

9. SUBTOOLS
SubTools permit a single (logical) mesh to be treated as many independent objects.

10. MESH EXTRACT
Mesh extraction is a fast and powerful way to create new parts to your model. Using existing geometry you can quickly and easily create a jacket, a helmet, gloves, whatever your character may need!

11. Projection Master
Projection Master is a unique feature of ZBrush that allows you to use all of the 2D and 2.5D brushes in sculpting, texturing, and otherwise working with your 3D model.

12. Deformations
The deformations features inside ZBrush allow you to easily apply twist, stretch, bend, and a variety of other unique changes to any 3D mesh.

13. HD Geometry
HD Geometry is the next evolution in digital sculpting. With the ability to divide your model up to a billion polygons, now your limits are based only on what you can imagine.

14. Normal Maps and ZMapper
ZMapper is the free Next-Gen Normal Mapping plug-in for ZBrush 2.0. Using ZBrush's revolutionary multiple levels of resolution and a new lighting-fast ray tracer, ZMapper generates unsurpassed normal maps in seconds that will work with any game engine need.

15. Decimation Master
Decimation Master is a free Plugin for ZBrush that allows you to greatly reduce the poly count of a model while preserving the high resolution detail.

16. PaintStop
PaintStop is a powerful addition to ZBrush's extensive plugin library which configures your user interface and settings to give you the true to life feel of using real world art tools.

17. GoZ
One of the core functions of ZBrush has always been to provide artists the ability to create in an environment that allows for complete freedom of expression. The lack of technical barriers that make working within ZBrush feel like real world sculpting and painting is why so many have created such ground breaking work.
