ZBrush 2024 New Features!

ZBrush 2024 New Features!

ZBRUSH 2024 FEATURES
Enhance your ZBrush experience with these additions:

Repeat to Similar Feature
Save time by making a change to one mesh, then automatically applying that change to all other meshes with similar topology! The following will be able to be applied across meshes:

Sculpting changes.
Ability to replace each mesh with a different mesh.
Masking.
PolyGroup changes.
Polypaint changes.
New Stroke Type: DragStamp
This new stroke option will allow you to adjust the intensity of the stroke in real-time by moving the cursor left/right and up/down.

More Noise!
Cinema 4D noises have been added to ZBrush Surface Noise. This includes 25 new noises for you to use when adding that extra touch of detail to a surface. Some of the noises include Sema, Electric, Zada, Luka, Dents, and Displacement.

Anchors Away!
The Anchor brush has been updated with a major quality of life change: You no longer need to mask the model in order to use the Anchor brush in posing or shaping your creations. Focal Shift slider will now control the direction the anchor points can affect the mesh.

Insert Mesh Brush Enhancement
The Insert Mesh brushes can now use any Stroke type: Dots, DragRect, ColorSpray, Spray and DragDot.

Slice it Up!
The Knife brush has been updated to allow a mesh to be split into pieces. This gives you the freedom to turn one mesh into a complex design.

Have a Ball with Masking
Masking has been given another set of options. Grow All and Shrink All masking have been added. These allow for parts with partial masking to either grow to a full mask on the mesh or shrink to no mask.

Creasing
Crease Unmasked and Uncrease Unmasked options make it easy to crease or uncrease surfaces simply based on the unmasked areas of the model.

Gizmo3D/Transpose Masking
This masking has been updated to allow for a smoother transition. It is now also possible to snap the Gizmo3D or Transpose line to the center of the mask.

You know what be cool, getting rid of the subscription model! And stop taking a piss out of the user base.

[vofdggi]

I just miss the good all days when zbursh still belonged to pixologic

[MrAsag]

where is:
good layers?
good folders?
good lights in viewport?
good real cameras in viewport?
transparence in viewport?
color paint to layers?
why we still should to flip the textures in 2024?

[toluabisola]

This the end of the road for me and new versions of Zbrush.

I will NEVER Subscribe to use this software. And the fact that it's the only way to sample this is crazy.

Damn you Maxon for ruining something that was for so many years, wonderful.

[beepboop]

Forcing people to pay for a subscription when the software used to be a single purchase isn't about giving a good product, it's about money. Infinite money paid with no ownership is scummy.

[heramann]

Subscription only. Lmao, I'm out. Maxon can rot

[JCGCompositions]

It's too bad that as a perpetual license holder, I have access to none of this.

[gaslitplanet]

I thought I would regret my decision to ditch ZBrush after Maxon took over. I loved Pixologic. Since 2014 for me. Looking at this new release for 2024, it makes me angry. Angry that a big corporate would literally buy an amazing piece of technology, developed by a hardcore crew and supported by a rabid fanbase... and literally throw it in the ditch. Maxon you should be ashamed. I will never use ZBrush again thanks to you. What a waste of money and so many years of time and learning. Blender is the future for me.

[greenspeed]

what about layers? any updates?
there still the same 20 years old, super slow layer panel with bags?

[zZ-Wipeout-Zz]

still doesn't seem like a good enough reason to pay for the upgrade.

[glenfoxh]

I have ZBrush 2022. But, since the take over, and move to subscription only, I only focus on Blender now.

About the same with LightWave 3D. I have version 10. But, once Blender 2.8 came out, I had been looking at it more and more. By the time Blender 3.0 came out, I stopped using LightWave 3D, and never looked back.

Yes, when it comes to sculpting, ZBrush is still king.

Blender can do far more, and as for just sculpting in it, is not far from what ZBrush can do. And even though ZBrush has it beat with poly count, such a high poly count is rarely needed. Mostly if working on game models that have to move.

So long as I have to make a subscription payment to use ZBrush, beyond the 2022 version I have, it does not interest me anymore. And will not, until that changes. I don't mind paying for new updates when I can afford it, and updates are made affordable.

"25 new surface noises"
Seriously!? That counts as an innovation nowadays?
There are so many areas that need improvement and this is what they chose to do.

[bellanacht]

Hey since you disabled zbrush bridge for a lot of users with keyshot 9, and then forced zbrush into subscription model, how about ADDING the redshift renderer WITHOUT a SECOND subscription? Or are you unaware a large part of the userbase are indie users who don't have studio budgets?

Pixologic would come out each year with significantly more useful updates, and didn't bleed us dry doing it, so we know it can be done.

[Cola-]

In other words, no new features.
Just a faster workflow.

Couldn't you have improved the dynamic system or the fibermesh?
Or adding a new method for generating hair all together?
What about UDIM workflow? Improving texturing, the layer system, and masking?
There is much to be desired...

[musashidanmcgrath]

Should have added Redshift GPU to the base sub. Such a bs Maxon move charging an extra sub.

[mechak]

make something with antialiasing.
but when I'm doubling the canvas size to get rid of this the performance is very bad.
Do something with that finally.

[TheLyricsGuy]

You know what would be a cool feature? Making the UI good.

[Locustavideo]

Blender is such a bliss. And I say that after using Zbrush since 2004.

[GomerArts-ipej]

the slice to separate feature is just what I needed

[RikkTheGaijin]

I will keep using zBrush 2022 forever. Thanks Maxon for ruining the best modelling software. RIP zBrush.
