ZBrush for iPad
ImagineFX
|January 2025
GAME CHANGER The desktop version of popular 3D sculpting software ZBrush has been redesigned for iPad - and it's brilliant
-
Z Brush for iPad has finally stopped being a rumour, a leak and a tease and is now a real app. This new release feels like it could be breaking with the software's history to be something quite new and unique, for new and old artists alike.
One of the first things you'll notice when using ZBrush for iPad is that you have no keyboard, and ZBrush relies heavily on keyboard modifier keys and shortcuts. The fix? ZBrush for iPad uses an on-screen wheel with tools assigned to Shift, Alt and Ctrl equivalents. Combined with the iPad's excellent touchscreen, this makes it possible to pinch, swipe and rotate your sculpt directly.
