ZBrush has received an update for both desktop and iPad. The ZBrush version number for desktop will be ZBrush 2025.1.0 and the iPad update will be ZBrush 2025.2.0.
With these two releases we are also excited to announce Pro Projects. These are exciting collaborations with prominent artists within their particular fields and give ZBrush users an opportunity to see how professional artists complete their work. Pro Prjects include the actual assets from the artists for you to dive into and discover how did the artist make that piece. This first one is featuring Patrick4D.
Learn more about Pro Projects.
With these updates, we also continue to expand the ability for ZBrush to link with more of the Maxon family of products, including being able to send models from Cinema4D to ZBrush iPad or ZBrush for iPad to Cinema4D. We have also continued integration of Redshift within ZBrush and updated GoZ to support the 2025 versions of both Maya and 3ds Max.
