[Phlogiston]

Wow, the sculpture examples in the video are so amazingly well done

[keithkirby]

Zbrush, 3d coat, blender/mudbox. Overall performance and toolwise

[kartikeyakandari]

Personally I love 3d coat . It's is very easy to use and get the desired results

[egeelcin]

I am so happy right now i didnt know there are many free choices. Thanks buddy

[Belows]

Awesome jumping off point man!! Thanks alot for this intro to the various sculpting programs. Ill be giving sculptris a try and eventually move onto blender and possibly zbrush in the far future. Thanks again, and best wishes to you😊

[Zettoman]

that's basically all of them.
but if you had to pick a top 3
free : blender, sculptris, sculptgl/nomad on mobile, zbrush mini.
paid: zbrush core / zbrush full.

mudbox is good with maya or max, but development died some time ago.

[victororo]

Thanks for that! I wanna get into 3d sculpting and didn't know which way to go. Now I have a lot of options!

[ShelLuser]

I've been lucky and could afford a license for ZBrush, the full version, and IMO it stands above everything else with head and shoulders. It is a shame that you no longer get free updates now that Maxon took over; but the perpetual license is still available. Not to mention that version 2022 is truly crampacked with useful features . And the best part? Despite its complexity I can even use it on my budget laptop, one that can't even run Windows 11!

[Boredtobealive]

Which software would you suggest to make 3d jewelry and hardware for fashion (buckles, rings, chains, zipper pulls, sliders, metal logos, etc.)? Zbrush or Blender? I think zbrush is a bit more "organic" and complete but I'm afraid it will be a bit uncovenient for more "geometric" designs. What do you think? Thanks!

[marcins]

Now I think this list should be updated with nomad sculpt and forger, even if its mobile, they powerful

[dinisdesigncorner]

what about forger for the iPad? its not on this list but its super intuitive and with the ability to sculpt directly on the screen it is very powerful i beleive..

[Exirock]

Zbrush has the worst interface ever used i tried many times to use that program since its powerful compare to blender but its such a huge mess that makes anyone confused how to even start and how even to learn, Blender for me gets 1st place cause lets be honest, free program that keeps getting better each update and its easy to use vs a paid program that is a huge mess of interface and which the developers didnt even care to upgrade their program over the years.
Just a side note on Sculptris you better have a good pc with alot of ram or else it will keep crashing cause it consumes alot and the developers seem to not be able to fix that problem, but attention that program fixed and with some features could be a great program for new users to play around.

[malolangovindarajan]

U r videos are always awesome and are inspirational
thank u for u r awesome videos

[shishirkumar]

Plz do a video on how to become a vfx artist in blender plz...

[konpap]

Thank you man for sharing! Very helpful!

[jay-byse]

Great video. I'm in mudbox and I'm really frustrated with not being able to cut holes or create geometry.

[emceha]

You missed very important tool -DAZ 3d. New file is always starting with rigged full body - male/female. It's riiged, so it's also good moment to pose itt nicely. Export that and then use proper sculpting software. 20 minutes of work for posed rigged body.
I don't understand why blender don't start like that.

[jascrandom]

I love that, when it comes to sculpting, Blender is way past Maya, 3DS Max, C4D and Houdini and is directly competing with Zbrush.

[randomhunter]

very usefull and informative!! Thanks!!
