Likelihood to Recommend	nTopology Inc. (nTop) No answers on this topic	Pixologic Blender is still behind Zbrush when it comes to production quality. But ZBrush is a bit on the expensive side. But again, I've used it for 20 years. So the $100s of spent back then have paid off many times over by now. Just something to consider when purchasing, though.

Cons	nTopology Inc. (nTop) No answers on this topic	Pixologic Difficult and messy UI Not well-suited for renders Not suitable for animation and rigging Expensive Incentivized Salomi Rai Junior Animator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	nTopology Inc. (nTop) No answers on this topic	Pixologic Even though it's 4x as old, ZBrush is still better in my opinion. Plus, I'm just so used to it by now after 20 years. Blender will indeed become better over time and the leading industry standard soon, but for now, ZBrush is still better for me for sure. Love it!

Return on Investment	nTopology Inc. (nTop) No answers on this topic	Pixologic a single tool to quickly and effectively create 3D objects. Highly detailed 3D models allow us to create a range of highly detailed NFT 3D art collections for our clients. Setting up licenses across an entire team can become costly.
