ZBrush 2020

ZBrush 2020 - Video training for the updates: 2 | Cam Silhouette & Cam View

These two functions are new to the viewport and help you to find your way around the room more easily. Not only do they provide a nice overview of the mesh, but they also allow you to quickly change the view of the mesh.

ZBrush 2020 - Video training for the updates: 3 | History Recall Brush & History Projection

The History Recall Brush can be used to draw time points saved in the timeline onto a current mesh. The History Projection function can even transfer the details of a complete mesh to a reduced form.

ZBrush 2020 - Video training for the updates: 4 | Sculpting & Painting in Morph UV

It is now possible to paint on the unrolled mesh and also edit it. In Morph UV mode, textures can be easily applied and details added using Spotlight 2.0.

ZBrush 2020 - Video training on the updates: 5 | X-Tractor Brush

The X-Tractor Brush saves the details using an alpha when moving over an edited mesh. These can now be reproduced as required.

ZBrush 2020 - Video training for the updates: 6 | ZeeZoo

The ZeeZoo lightbox folder contains countless ready-made ZSphere models of various animals. These can be easily modified and saved as a mesh for further detailed work using an adaptive skin.

ZBrush 2020 - Video training on the updates: 7 | Import/Export

With the help of the FBX file format, models including all subtools can now be sent back and forth between ZBrush and other 3D programs without losing them. This is particularly important if UV unwrapping is to take place in other programs.

ZBrush 2021

ZBrush 2021 - Video training for the updates: 8 | ZModeler: Extrude Edge

With Extrude Edge, the ZModeler gets another function that is particularly useful for low-poly modeling. This function can be customized with various additional buttons.

ZBrush 2021 - Video training on the updates: 9 | Dynamic Thickness

Thanks to Dynamic Thickness, each surface now has a freely adjustable thickness and therefore a volume. In addition, the whole thing is non-destructive and can be adjusted at any time.

ZBrush 2021 - Video training on the updates: 10 | MicroPoly

MicroPoly can be used to add details to simple meshes. ZBrush has a large selection of options that can be selected with a single click.

ZBrush 2021 - Video training on the updates: 11.1 | Cloth Simulation

The Dynamics menu brings the real dynamics to ZBrush. It can be used to create fabrics that can adapt to other elements in an instant.

ZBrush 2021 - Video training for the updates: 11.2 | Cloth Brushes

Cloth Brushes can be used to add details to existing fabrics with just a few brushstrokes. It is also possible to dynamically deform objects with the TransposeCloth Brush.

ZBrush 2021 - Video training on the updates: 12 | Nanomesh instances

It is now possible to create individual nanomesh instances. Hardly any polygons are used and the meshes can also be edited afterwards.

ZBrush 2021 - Video training for the updates: 13 | iMage3D (GIF/PNG)

Existing ZBrush projects can now also be saved as image files to make it easier to see their contents in the file manager. However, all 3D data is retained when opening in ZBrush.

New features in the ZBrush 2021 update: Dynamics

ZBrush 2021 really brings more dynamics to your 3D work with the new Dynamics menu. Watch the video training on how to create detailed fabrics and work with Cloth Brushes, for example. You will learn how to assign a thickness to a two-dimensional surface using Dynamic Thickness and how to add details to meshes using MicroPoly. The training is rounded off with extensive explanations of the small but powerful Extrude Edge functionin ZModeler, the new Nanomesh instances and the very useful iMage3D.
