The combine harvester program can do so much that it's hard to grasp it :)

A great program for normal money, with virtually no competition. It worked great for me in designing jewelry and optimizing complex geometries. I highly recommend it.

Pros

Versatility, speed of operation, functionality, multitude of applications. Lighting works well in quickly calculating and optimizing large meshes, works great in jewelry design.

Cons

it is very extensive and therefore requires time to learn it well and use its full capabilities, but this is such a small disadvantage against the background of many advantages.

The best organic modeling software by far.

Reviewed on 09/01/2024

Pros

Intelligent cross platform design and functionality. Helps us get the job done in the best way efficiently and effectivly.

Cons

The rising cost of subscriptions and lifetime license cost. Also the release of multiple iterations of effectively the same software at differing price points.

Alternatives Considered

3ds Max and Blender

Reasons for Choosing Zbrush

Originally Pixologic just made an easier, cheeper and better tool than our other options.

Switched From

SketchUp, 3ds Max and Blender

Reasons for Switching to Zbrush

It's just a more specific tool with a focused range of abilities. We do not need the benefits of animation, just sculpting in this instance.

ZBrush is a powerhouse tool that can be cumbersome at times. I feel empowered as a digital sculptor using ZBrush

Pros

ZBrush is incredibly powerful. It has earned and maintained its position as the industry standard for 3D sculpting.

Cons

The UI is very dated and a bit overwhelming.

Difficult to get into but otherwise very versatile

Reviewed on 23/11/2021

Pros

Though I have now switched over to Blender, during the earlier years of Blender, ZBrush was the go-to for sculpting game assets. It's still a very powerful software once you get over the hurdle of learning how to use it.

Cons

The approachability for new users is is quite bad. Unintuitive UX being the worst offender. The price is still not that high compared to Maya, but it is probably still quite a lot for a lone developer.

It is one of the best softwares out there for 3d modelling and sculpting. The detailing is top notch and the wide set of tools is awesome to use and precisely upto our requirements.

Pros

With the availability of so many tools to use to sculpt the models, Zbrush is one of the best. We are able to take the high quality model to unreal engine which is a huge plus for us.

Cons

You have to have a pretty high-end PC for running it smoothly and the cost is a little bit on the higher side.
