Maxon ZBrush 2023 Upgrade from ZBrush 2022

Maxon ZBrush 2023 Upgrade from ZBrush 2022 is an art tool created by artists, for artists. It allows you to create models and illustrations limited only by your imagination, at a speed that allows you to stand out in today’s fast-paced industry. ZBrush sets the industry standard for digital sculpting and painting. 

Slime Bridge

Now artists can use the power of the ZBrush masking system to create complex geometric connections and designs from one masked island to another. Controls for Tension, Bridges, Calipers and Branches make it easy to instantly create sinewy, slimy connections between any two surfaces.

Sculptris Pro

More detail where it counts! The latest additions to this already robust tool allow artists to use a slider to increase mesh density in desired areas while reducing the size of triangles.

Dynamic Symmetry

Local Symmetry utilizes the Gizmo inside ZBrush to provide the opportunity to keep symmetry within the ZBrush workspace while moving models off the centre axis. Users can also control the symmetry line of action while manipulating the placement of assets anywhere in the ZBrush world space.

Mask Region

Mask complex shapes with ease thanks to Auto Region. Simply paint indicators in simple or complex shapes to determine areas that should be filled and mask multiple areas with the push of a button.

Apply Last Action

The Apply Last Action to All SubTools function allows for the application of material attributes, colour information and any other “undoable” operations to multiple sub-tools inside the ZBrush Tool Palette with the click of a button.

Bas Relief

Create embossed surfaces in stunning detail with the new Bas Relief features in ZBrush. Position your model as desired and project all visible meshed into the selected mesh.

Load any model and create a Bas Relief alpha from the camera view to be used to create raised sections of detail that closely resemble the results of traditional relief sculpture.

Bevel Pro

The new Bevel Pro plugin allows you to create complex bevels for meshes at any resolution without low-poly modelling. Suitable for meshes of the medium-to-high resolution, Bevel Pro allows you to use masking and PolyGroups to determine exactly which edges to bevel. Adjust and preview your results non-destructively, and even create your bevels as separate sections of geometry for use with Live Boolean.

Multi-Texture/Multi-Alpha

Brushes now support dual alphas and textures, allowing you to transition between the two based on the pen pressure of your stroke. Create striking blends of colour and detail with this versatile new feature!

Brush Surface Noise with Local Projection

Apply any image, graphical noise or noise presets to a brush for local sculptural surface noise details. Use Brush Size or pen pressure sensitivity to adjust the noise scale on the fly. Local Projection will give a unique way to reapply any noise by the position of the brush. This feature shines when creating environment pieces or applying skin details.

SubTool Alignment

Instantly redistribute multiple SubTools, or the geometry within a single SubTool with a single button press. Similar to alignment features found in other programs, you can now align meshes to the left, right or centre, and by the top or bottom edges.

KnifeCircle & KnifeSquare

The new Knife brushes now support the Circle and Rectangle stroke types. Cut through meshes cleanly with these tools where the resulting cut accurately reflects the stroke.

Enhanced Stroke Interpolation

The Stroke Interpolation feature can now use ZIntensity, Brush Size, RGB Intensity, and Front and Back Colors to transition between strokes with a set number of steps. Create dazzling blends and intricate patterns of colour and detail between two strokes on the surface of your mesh.
