That makes the feature set rather smaller than mobile sculpting apps like Sculptura 3D, and considerably smaller than Sculptris, Pixologic’s own legacy software: still available free, but no longer updated. Similarly, there are just eight materials – the Basic material, the red wax and grey MatCaps, and plastic, metal and skin materials – and no 3D painting capabilities. However, mesh resolution is capped at 750,000 polygons, so it’s geared towards simpler, lower-detail forms.Ĭompared to either ZBrush or ZBrushCore, the toolset really is beginner-friendly: just eight of the really key sculpting brushes, including Standard, ClayBuildup, Inflate, Pinch, Move, SnakeHook and Smooth. It includes Sculptris Pro, ZBrush’s new dynamic tessellation system, so it should provide a genuinely clay-like sculpting experience, without the need to worry about subdividing a mesh manually. Targeted at students and 3D printing enthusiasts, ZBrushCoreMini adds a new entry-level edition to the ZBrush product line, slotting in below ZBrushCore, the existing commercial cut-down edition. The new free edition features key ZBrush sculpting technology Sculptris Pro, a highly streamlined set of brushes and materials, and a simplified user interface.Ī highly streamlined entry-level edition of ZBrush’s sculpting toolset Pixologic has released ZBrushCoreMini, a free cut-down non-commercial version of its industry-standard ZBrush digital sculpting software, aimed at “new artists of all ages”.
