ZBrush 2024 New Features!

The new transpose and slice into part is a welcomed upgrade!

Ditching Maxon and moving in with Quixel and or Epic would be a fantastic move.

Maxon don't kill ZBrush, 2024 update was a joke. There was a lack of creation and invention to the point of stealing a Photoshop feature and pasting it into ZBrush. Ok you can get inspire from 3DCoat If there is not much interest for improvement. Thx

Forcing people to pay for a subscription when the software used to be a single purchase isn't about giving a good product, it's about money. Infinite money paid with no ownership is scummy.

Thats also the end of the road for me with ZBrush. This cheap argument, that you have the newest version if you subscribe. Does everyone really needs the newest version always? imagine, you are forced everywhere to subscribe on your pipeline. How many hundrets of dollars you pay per month? Later, if subscribtion is forced, the updates gets worse and worse ... why? Cause you are already forced to pay. On perpetual, they have to do really good stuf, so you would buy the upgrade.

Thanks for these awesome new features ,Maxon!

Getting better and better, now if they could only change that UGLY UI!

Was expecting an update like Polygroup by UDIMS, Retopo process like quadraw in maya, Texturing based on pixels like in substance etc., could be great.

Meh, I think I'll keep using my 2022 "until the wheels fall off." It's already feature complete. I am not sure what Maxon can add that will justify me committing myself to a subscription service.

I’m disappointed in you pixologic

I will keep using zBrush 2022 forever. Thanks Maxon for ruining the best modelling software. RIP zBrush.

Can we have perpetual license plz?

If only zbrush didn’t look like it was designed by aliens. I’ve attempted to learn it several times, but stopped every time. Now I just use blender. Not as good as zbrush, but it’s good enough.

I wish this app was free so i could use it like everyone else watching this video

@xanzula In 2021, Pablo Dobarro, the lead developer for everything sculpting in Blender, proposed a new set of tools for sculpting in Blender, hoping to solve the polygon count limitation of Blender, the Blender Institute refused, so Pablo went to greener pastures!

As for your personal attack, my actual job is in 3D, although I prefer 2D, and the fact remains, nothing but cartoony work done in Blender, even the big Blender sculpting names, like YanSculpts, Danny Mac 3D, FlyCat, and the likes, only do cartoony sculpts in Blender, while the art on ZB Central is on a completely other level with incredibly realistic pieces!

maxon leeching onto pixologic's 20+ years of development and reliable tools but they really can't innovate anything.

Everything looks amazing indeed but why can't I just get this with perpetual licence?
I understand by contract I was allowed to up to one year of free updates but pixologic was the goodest of boys allowing me (and many others) to keep updating regardless, but why not just gives us an option to purchase the update, I really wouldn't mind to pay a reasonable price to have my Zbrush updated to the latest version, I don't like subscriptions and will never be ok with them...
I'm still really fine with my Zbrush 2022, I just came to try to push back a little bit saying I'm not ok with subscriptions

ZBrush has no affordable competition. 900 dollars is totally asinine. And the scaling is p-poor.

Wow new transpose look awesome

still doesn't seem like a good enough reason to pay for the upgrade.

No.perpetual license ?!? ... Nah im done ...

Udims, improved uv system,better painting with layers and rgb blending options, improved cameras, ai integration, better hair plugins, cloth system, improved curves, better retopology tools? no? with blender growing like a freaking gremlin poured in to water before 12? no? for real? just a few new brushes..... amazing guys really amazing... looks like maxon wants zbrush to die otherwise i'm not getting what's happening here

Waaaa brutal kool

Great update ❤ subscription only heartbreaking 💔

so excited about this!

Hey since you disabled zbrush bridge for a lot of users with keyshot 9, and then forced zbrush into subscription model, how about ADDING the redshift renderer WITHOUT a SECOND subscription? Or are you unaware a large part of the userbase are indie users who don't have studio budgets?

Pixologic would come out each year with significantly more useful updates, and didn't bleed us dry doing it, so we know it can be done.

Seems a bit underwhelming tbh

The Blender zealots are at it again, all I see that is done in Blender is cartoony, while the art on ZB central is out of this world, no comparison is possible as far as I am concerned!

Thanks Maxon

this is the lamest, most boring 'new' feature filled update zbrush has put out. why maxon, why are you so trash. why in the ever living hell would i pay a sub for this? Sticking to zbrush 2022

slice to separate is just a script to use slice curve, show selected only, split hidden, and close holes lol. idk why people are so hyped about it, its something anybody couldve come up with, maybe it already existed as a script made by somebody.

Using Zbrush and Krea AI together is such a win. WIN WIN WIN.

zbrush coming to ipad next year is still a win for me

Wow Zbrush is still boury on MacOS - this is a known issue also on your side since you commented that already somewhere elese. Now with this new version this must have been fixed, but it's not. Zbrush is blurry on a 5k Studio Display in 2024. thank you.

Will automatic packing of UVs for multiple unwrapped subtools be a feature you plan to introduce in the sort future?. I mean we can do all the work before in Zbrush but just for this step i need to export the FBX and do that in other software.

I have ZBrush 2022. But, since the take over, and move to subscription only, I only focus on Blender now.

About the same with LightWave 3D. I have version 10. But, once Blender 2.8 came out, I had been looking at it more and more. By the time Blender 3.0 came out, I stopped using LightWave 3D, and never looked back.

Yes, when it comes to sculpting, ZBrush is still king.

Blender can do far more, and as for just sculpting in it, is not far from what ZBrush can do. And even though ZBrush has it beat with poly count, such a high poly count is rarely needed. Mostly if working on game models that have to move.

So long as I have to make a subscription payment to use ZBrush, beyond the 2022 version I have, it does not interest me anymore. And will not, until that changes. I don't mind paying for new updates when I can afford it, and updates are made affordable.

Subtool palette still can't be docked separately in the UI.
Still trash updates. Overhaul the UI if you want me to upgrade, Maxon.

Gatekeeping Zbrush at this exact point in time when Blender is gaining traction isn't a wise move. You should be opening the software up, not closing it down.
Release Zbrush for free and open your own proper in app purchase store for plugins brushes etc and take a cut. You'll make more money than you currently do and the core software stays relevant and no one ever has need to go in search of competition.

Make a slice tool that doesn't crash whenever you use it.

Slice into parts is something amazing because on last version we can only slice and the other part is deleted, let's Rip apart like Raiden >D

Most of these "new features" seem oddly familiar ngl. zbrush 2016-2021 gave juice every release, now it's just water.

Add slice/knife to make holes on the mesh. that'll be awesome too

How about fixing what's already there. Program is becoming more unstable. surface noise maker tool thing has a bunch of parameters that have never worked (offset,tiling, etc.) Stop screwing pewrpetual license owners. When was your last update?

The new transpose looks awesome!

Zbrush is already a king, new updates doesn't impress me.😅

Pretty neat but none of this is enough to make me want to pay for the subscription model. Keep trying Maxon.

Hell yeah!

how about you give zbrushcore some love you knits

Blender is such a bliss. And I say that after using Zbrush since 2004.

sick!
