Maxon is a manufacturer that provides powerful and user-friendly software solutions for content creators engaged in 2D and 3D design, dynamic graphics, visual effects, and more. Last week, Maxon announced the launch of ZBrush for iPad.

ZBrush for iPad is created by artists for artists, and it completely changes digital sculpture by allowing artists to experience the powerful features of Oscar winning ZBrush anytime, anywhere, using Apple's touch based functionality to sculpt, draw, and turn creations into reality anytime, anywhere!

ZBrush for iPad also offers many of the same tools and features as the desktop version, including a range of leading proprietary digital sculpting brushes created based on real-world sculpting techniques. Users will also be pleased to know that carving anytime, anywhere does not mean sacrificing the number of polygons, which depends on the iPad's memory and version. For example, the latest M4 iPad with at least 1 TB of storage space can reach 92 million polygons per grid.

ZBrush for iPad also features a highly customizable user interface that extends the desktop version's quick menu, making it easy to arrange carving tools for a more optimized personal experience. In addition, you can customize the Apple Pencil double-click or Pencil Pro squeeze to complete operations, such as framing a mesh or opening a polygon group in a document.

Other highlights of ZBrush for iPad:

ZRemesher generates a new mesh with uniformly distributed polygons, preserving the basic details and fluidity of the original surface.


Sculptris Pro increases and decreases triangle subdivisions with each stroke, allowing you to easily focus on carving without worrying about technical limitations.

DynaMesh re topology during carving, allowing for stretching of digital clay or increasing volume while retaining the same basic detail ability.

Array Mesh can create repeated instances of geometric shapes with different patterns and shapes in real-time.

The Dynamics system enhances the carving effect by allowing any surface to be overlaid on another surface.

Live Boolean enables users to combine, subtract, and/or use intersections to create unique results.

PolyPaint allows for easy painting and carving simultaneously, without the need to assign texture maps to paint on the surface of the model.

ZBrush for iPad is included in both ZBrush and Maxon One subscriptions (also available as a standalone subscription), featuring over 200 of ZBrush's leading digital sculpting brushes and the ability to easily load thousands of custom brushes created by outstanding users!

ZBrush and Maxon One subscribers can also seamlessly share ZTool (ZTL) and ZPoject (ZPR) files between iPad and desktop. GoZ can also be used to move files between versions with just one click.

For anyone who wants to try out the world's leading digital sculpting application, ZBrush for iPad also has a free plan that offers a powerful sculpting experience, including 28 popular brush starter kits and limited features of tools such as Dynamesh, SculptrisPro, ZSpheres, and ZRemesher.

For professionals who need to work on-site or just want to experience ZBrush's unparalleled features in a more comfortable and inspiring place, ZBrush for iPad is a game changing product that allows creativity to run wild.
