Getting Started with Zbrush for iPad + Zbrush 2025

In this video I wanted to breakdown some of the basics of Zbrush for iPad.
From getting started, to some handy tricks that can help you handle the new app the same way as the desktop.

I also touch on the Import + Export from the app to the new Zbrush 2025 on desktop using GoZ, and how that back and forth is the way of the future.

If you have any questions shoot me a message on Discord, Artstation or Instagram.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Awesome video, this might be the first thing Maxon has done right with zbrush and it's a banger. Hope they can achieve more customization to the UI and even keybinds and we're pretty much there.

This is the most comprehensive tutorial video I’ve seen on YouTube. Honestly, I’m still getting used to drawing with a stylus. I used to work with a mouse on my desktop, so it's been a bit challenging. Could I ask how you manage to use both ZBrush on your desktop and an iPad at the same time?

Thanks a lot for the helpful videos! I’ll keep watching and just subscribed to your channel!

By the way, I was wondering if you could do a stress test on the app, just to see how it handles before things get too laggy. I’m curious to know how many polygons it can handle before performance drops. Since I got a high-end iPad, I’d love to see what its limits are.

Just subscribed after watching this vid. I'm a total ZBrush noob - don't suppose you or anyone else reading this might have a suggestion on the best way to reach myself Zbrush? Thank you very much 🙏

Has the brush hot key setting for iPad not been implemented yet? I'm a user of Magic Keyboard

100% on the reference especially when the iPad handles second windows so poorly. Saved camera and reference like in Nomad would be ideal. Spotlight should go back to doing its original texturing workflow. It is crazy how good it is on initial release though and my god do I love the UI. The only way the UI gets better is if we do a real object tree but I love the selection stuff they showed off. Very very close!

Can you pls recommend if it’s worth getting the 1tb model with 16 gb ram or the base model with 8gb will do just fine. I have the 11 inch pro M4 but not sure if it’s worth the ext cost just for zbrush.

On the iPad it happens that I'm working on a project and when I'm about to save it, it crashes... and with the files I already have, when I open them, it crashes again... there's a method with which I can stay calm, without being afraid that the file can be deleted? Furthermore, when trying to transfer files to the computer, I can't find the PC on the iPad

How do you set default material on iPad?
