***** ZBrush 4.0 Unleashed!

Welcome to the official launch of ZBrush 4.0 for Win and Mac!

The big day is here!

ZBrush was first released 10 years ago as a tool by artists, for artists.

Our vision has always been to develop new and innovative features that push the boundaries of what has been previously possible for digital art. We are thrilled to offer this new breakthrough 10th Anniversary ZBrush 4.0 Win or Mac version for download and purchase right now!

ZBrush 4.0 is packed with new and exciting features, additions and changes designed to fit your needs and the way you work. (You can explore these in more depth below.)

Our special thanks goes out to all those involved in the making and development of ZBrush 4: the beta testers, artists and all those who work at Pixologic offices around the world!

We trust that this exciting version of ZBrush will continue to be a major part of your day to day artistic work-flow, opening you to an ever expanding world of creativity.

We look forward to seeing your ZB4 work and comments on ZBrushCentral.com

Enjoy the journey and discovery!

ZBrush 4 Plugins

In addition, all plugins have been updated for ZBrush 4 Win and Mac! They are available in the Download Center today! (Note: Some plugins from earlier versions are no longer available because their functionality has now been built directly into ZBrush 4.)

NEW!!! Multi-Map Exporter makes it easy to export texture, displacement and normal maps for every SubTool of your model at once. It even supports multiple UV regions!

With 3D Print Exporter you will be able to export your favorite ZTool in STL or VRML format, opening you to the world of 3D printing. Now it’s possible for you to print your model!

With Decimation Master you will be able to easily reduce the polygon count of your models in a very efficient way while keeping all their sculpted details. This solution is one of the fastest available and is able to optimize your high polycount models from ZBrush, allowing you to export them to your other 3D software packages or output them from ZBrush using 3D Print Exporter. And in ZBrush 4, Decimation Master can now operate in full 64-bit mode!
