Description

Created by artists for artists, ZBrush for iPad offers many of the same tools and features found in ZBrush's desktop version used by the professionals in film, game, concept art, toys, collectibles, jewelry, automotive, aviation, product design and so much more, including the collection of leading, proprietary digital sculpting brushes created with real-world sculpting techniques in mind. Begin your creations with our extensive library of base models, or utilize our advanced photogrammetry feature to scan real-world objects and seamlessly integrate them into ZBrush. Our Pro Projects library allows you to observe how a Seasoned Professional works in ZBrush by accessing and loading the files provided in the Pro Projects library. Traditional low polygon modeling workflows allow the user to create with ease in low polygons with our ZModeler and Retopo brushes. The Surface Noise feature allows you to effortlessly add intricate patterns to your model, whether utilizing an image or the NoiseMaker curve. You can easily adjust the size, orientation, and repetition of the pattern through a dynamic and user-friendly interface. ZBrush for iPad includes: - Over 200 of ZBrush's leading digital sculpting brushes and the ability to easily load the thousands of custom brushes that have been created by ZBrush users. - A highly customizable user interface that expands on the desktop version's QuickMenu, making it easy to arrange sculpting tools for a more optimized, personal experience. In addition, users can customize the bottom toolbar to include their favorite brushes, materials, textures and alphas. Customize your Apple Pencil double tap or Pencil Pro squeeze to complete an action. - Similar high polygon details as ZBrush desktop, depending on iPad device. The latest M4 iPad with at least a one terabyte (TB) hard drive, for example, can reach up to 90+ million polygons per mesh. - Innovative UI design makes it possible to take advantage of Apple's user-friendly touch capabilities and jump right into sculpting, especially for new users. Gesture controls for common features, such as draw size, focal shift, undos and redos, help streamline workflow. - Seamless file sharing for ZBrush subscribers who want to move ZTool (ZTL) and ZProject (ZPR) files between iPad and desktop. GoZ can also be used to move files between versions with one click. - ZRemesher generates a new mesh with an even distribution of polygons, preserving the essential details and flow of the original surface. - Sculptris Pro adds and reduces triangle tessellation with each brush stroke, making it simple to focus on sculpting without worrying about technical restraints. - DynaMesh retopologizes while sculpting, so it’s possible to stretch digital clay or add volume while retaining the same basic capacity for detail. - Array Mesh makes it possible to create duplicate instances of geometry in varying patterns and shapes in real time. - The Dynamics system enhances sculpts by allowing any surface to be draped over another surface. - Live Boolean gives users the ability to combine, subtract, and/or use intersections to create unique results. - PolyPaint makes it easy to paint and sculpt at the same time, making it possible to paint on the surface of a model without first assigning a texture map.
