We've employed Zbrush from Pixologic as a powerful digital sculpting program used by our digital artists. It has become incredibly useful for creating three-dimensional artwork that we have used it as part of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) 3D Art Collection. What makes Zbrush an ideal choice for creating NFT art is its versatility and multitude of features, allowing us to produce almost any type of digital art.
- Intuitive UI design.
- Advanced sculpting capabilities.
- Integration with other 3D software.
- Slowdowns when using certain tools or features.
- Difficulty to access certain shortcuts or commands.
- Lack of a dedicated animation timeline system.
- Comprehensive library of shapes, brushes, textures and materials.
- Professional-quality rendering.
- Export in various file formats including .obj, .fbx and .stl.
- 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.
ZBrush’s Brush system allows our digital artists to quickly and easily apply various textures and details to their models with relative ease. This makes it easier for digital influencers to give their creations a unique look and feel while still achieving a professional quality finish. Another advantage of using ZBrush over other programs is its ability to manipulate geometric meshes on a micro level. This means that artists can adjust the shape of any object within a virtual environment, allowing them to create intricate designs with relative ease.

20 Years & Counting Using the Software, ZBrush.
I've used ZBrush for 20 years and it's my go-to scalping software for digital characters, product design, and more. Great for lighting, color, material, orientation, and depth information for the points doing different creative projects. I still like this above all digital sculpting tools, apps, and other software. I also can't believe that I bought this 20 years ago and it's still just as great!
- Best for sculpting characters even down to the smallest pore.
- Great for points of light on a character.
- So fast sculpting and crafting for product design.
- I'm a Mac user, and the desktops/laptops don't have CD drives anymore...Hard to use on newer macs.
- Painting could be improved.
- Crashes a few times a year.
- Easy, light to the tough 3D sculpting for characters.
- Fast shape creation for product designs.
- Great for lighting tests on characters and objects.
- I've had it for over 20 years. It was expensive at first but paid off over time.
- Ups my services list for 3D graphics.
- Great for digital artists in general.

"sculpt like a digital potter"
Firstly, we create a basic 3D object in Maya or Blender. Then, we create its UVs and import that 3D mesh in Zbrush. And in Zbrush we sculpt that 3D mesh with [a] variety of brush or sometimes our own custom-made brush to create the perfect 3D model we had designed.

Zbrush is specifically used for sculpting the 3D object. Poly paint, Re-topologizing, and hard surface modeling are other great features of this software. While other mentioned software mainly focus[es] on animation, rigging, and so on.
