ZBrush 2021.6

Pixologic has released a new uptade for its flagship digital sculpting software – ZBrush 2021.6.

ZBrush 2021.6 brings improvements to many areas in your work. New features will help facilitate a more creative approach to creating 3D graphics. Version 2021.6 is also free for all registered users of earlier versions.

One of the new improvements is the introduction of the Mesh From Mask. It is a quick and very simple tool containing a set of brushes to create base meshes. With it, ZBrush automatically turns the selected shape into editable mesh, which you can then sculpt. You can add, subtract or cut holes, or go straight to sculpting. If you modify the shape with this tool, a model will be updated automatically and you will see the results immediately.

Another novelty worth mentioning is 2D Alpha Extrusion Along a Curve. Its name actually explains what it is used for, i.e. extruding models with aplha and lines. It can be especially useful for creating all kinds of hair, horns or other stuff.

An important new update is also the introduction of True Raytracing Ambient Occlusion. Thanks to it, your objects will look much better and will be more realistic. It has very easy controls and also works on SubTools.

In addition to these most important changes, the following were also introduced in ZBrush 2021.6:

  • Sticky Hotkeys
  • Loading the last project after starting the application
  • USD (Universal Scene Description) format support
  • Lazy Mouse now also supports the Lasso Stroke type
  • Updates to Curve Stroke options
