Blender vs ZBrush - (HONEST Comparison)

This video is PERFECT thankyou!

this was the most amazing description ive ever seen. LOL.

ZBrush + Blender not ZBrush vs Blender.

This has been very useful video for me

Something you forgot to mention is that ZBrush got the worst user interface of all the Software in the market.

blender is good example of

fox of all trades and master of nothing .

man this video solved a big confusion for me

.....finish a lot more and a lot faster if you would just use the swiss army knife with the super screwdriver addition + crew....erm...I mean Blender with a lot of good addons, giving you everything you need ...ever! At a fraction of ZBrush + Maya. I can do Motion capture there now (in Blender) 'cause of the (Blender market) ;) Professional hint.

I love a brief no-nonsense summary that tells you everything you need to know and nothing more - thank-you!

The Best Video i will ever see on this debate

Great video!

Zbrush is " THE SCULPTING TOOL " like substance is " THE TEXTURING TOOL " both work faster than anything on the market, Blender is the " ONE SIZE FIT ALL " and " ANYTHING is Possible " with the two other software it's a time saver, if the goal is to add impossible detail Zbrush is the tool you need for very high polycount work, Substance is a finisher is more dedicated to the texturing and surfacing process, in the other hand you can almost build any model with blender, rig it for animation and render it, the UV unwrap and UDIM system on it also work super fine.

thank you

okay. Native New Yawker? Take my follow.

That's how this videos must be, quick to the point and actually setting the differencies between each program. Really good vid.

Blender is developing fast in these years and others judt dont like it the haters of blender so if u are the blender artist never stop go on

i hate blender with a passion. and you should compare other softwares to blender besides maya which is too expensive. im not a professional 3d designer. i need it for a game i'm developing. no frikin way i'm going to do it with blender. that software is terrible.

Like to point out that everything attributed to Z-Brush is now possible as of Blender 3.6, with the additions of VDM (Vector Displacement Map) brushes. So now you can have "wing Brushes" that work in the same way as in this video. But it's even better, because in Blender you have much greater control over the topology.

Haha this was great. I know nothing of Z brush and Blender is so dam daunting coming from Fusion modelling. I'm really thinking Z brush might be the go to try.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you. I was strugling watching all those crap comparison videos, and all ends as you said, "both are good".

Blender is very overwhelming to learn IMO. Going to check ZBrush didn't know that was a thing

So my only issue is, you built a monster with only brushes - that you didn't create. So, yeah it was easy, of course. If those brushes exist in Blender, same thing. No?

guys, what about optimization? which one is better?

I'd like one of these for Blender vs Maya/3DS/Cin3D/Rhino since those seem to be the industry standard for 3D Modeling and retopology. Blender I know cannot handle over 4mil polys. Zbrush can handles more because of their tech, I forgot the name of it. Maya can handles a lot of polys but it will run slow and it has a decent retopology tool. I do think modeling in Blender is faster though, id stay it's a better replacement for 3DS Max in the modeling space because of the modifiers.

Ok, but could you do some vids about sculpting in blender too, tho?

love it, thank you

blender is trash. blender is free because it sucks so much. yes, you can do everything in blender. however, the bullshit you have to go through with blender you dont need to go through with other softweres. blender just making your life way harder. if you have the money you can cut your work time so much if you buy for paid softwares. blender is only if you want to work in graphic design . if you want to actually make your own game then zbrush is much better

Thank you

This explains my troubles with Blender.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you’re hilarious dude. Great info!

Thank, I can decide which one is fit for me :D

"Just use both", yeah I need to pay rent.

All I needed was to realize that Zbrush users don’t have the same problems or have to feel dumb for trynna sculpt properly in Blender

Imagine demanding that we learn really tricky geometry and don’t even get the same possibilities anyway

Blender’s flat-out inferior, not an alternative. I’m kinda mad that I wasted all this time cos I promised people some good results a while ago but I went straight for hyper realism cos that’s what I was aiming for in drawing at the time. All I did was I work myself into a corner for daring to use traditional and obvious methods.

If I can import my blender model and see the same things done easily then I’ll see a direct comparison while saving my model.

If this works like I expect then such a massive weight will be lifted off my shoulders.

Will legit change my life if I can finally get around the roadblocks of 3d sculpting and move forwards towards good portfolio.

So mad that they got me jumping through hoops just to transfer skills I already had

You avoided talking about Zmodeler is it worth the pain of learning it when I have Blender and working Blender <-> Zbrush Bridge?

Dosent Really matter which software you pick as a beginner , just get good at sculpting and transfer those skills to z brush later if you want

Hmm we are learning zbrush at my college and I was wondering why we are not just using blender....makes sense now thanks

this dynamesh click killed me...please blender get that good stuff brother t_t

as an automotive technician and game design enthusiast the comparisons is rather accurate, when you're doing it as a hobby to start you really don't have the luxury of time. so learning the standard is what I wanted to know. and this really narrowed down what and where I want/needed to focus my time on character model creation. much appreciated!

sculpting is love and comunication ,not a war....

Love z brush, got it in college and the free updates are awesome

ZBrush will be always the best sculpting standard for every purpose. You can do some quite good sculpting stuff in Blender, but for me as ZBrush user for many years there is no reason to use Blender for sculpting. Sure Blender is very good in comparison with Maya for example. Nice video

Zbrush ain’t like “Use your tail brush, use your evil teeth brush..” it’s a bit nore then that. A freaking lot more. It’s science if you coming from blender. Omg.

PERFECTION IN A VIDEO

The only reason in your video if because of VDM, and they are now in blender.

Zbrush is the better option if you are a creative person who needs to go deep into the world of creature and character modeling. I love Blender, and I'm learning how to sculpt with it now, so I will see and creative video content on my Blender progress! Subscribe if you're interesting in learning how to sculpt in both, got a lot of characters and content in the works as I build my channel this year.

The thing is, Zbrush needs a solid competitor. Not too happy to see Maxon buy out Zbrush either.

my workflow -

ZBrush - Sculpting
Maya - Modelling, UVs, Animation
Blender - Shading, Basic Texturing, Rendering
Quixel Mixer and Krita - Texturing
