Very nice.

Much easier and intuitive to use with a pro iPad than the desktop. Missing some features but hope those will come soon. Very good customization options (although the desktop is just as good in this respect). If you connect a keyboard you basically have a small desktop version. Being mobile is obviously the key advantage when using the iPad but the desktop does have some advantages. As iPads get more powerful and this app gets more features I can image the IPad version being preferable for many projects or workflows. As with the desktop version there is a big learning curve to using this app.

Amazing

I love this app, it has made learning Zbrush for the desktop an easier process and has helped me kick my learning and practice into overdrive.

At first it was a lot of trial and error, same to be said for the desktop version, or any 3D software. Yet it has become second nature and something I use every day. I reach for my Ipad to sculpt and practice forms more than using my desktop lately. And when I do use the desktop version the same workflow, and options are all there, just a different UI for the most part.

I am hyping this because though learning and practice with this app can be difficult and frustrating at times I have only benefitted from pushing through.

I truly cannot sing its praises enough. As after going on a year now I am constantly learning new things and tools that compound and improve the use of it.

Sure there are things I hope they improve, such as more customization, better documentation, and other minor things. However, if you work past the growing pains, if you are new or unfamiliar, you will be rewarded with S tier creative potential with this app.

Happy sculpting!

Meh…medocrity be thy name.

Maxon has proven yet again that they rely on the name than providing features that make work efficient and still maintain high quality. Lack luster ui, confusing icons that explain nothing. Wonky haptic controls using your fingers. Combine that with an excessive subscription. Feels like a step backwards. I’ll stick to nomad which has a far more useful communicative ui and is priced well. Minus the need for a quad remesher as a separate purchase. Wake up, maxon, nomad is coming for you. Even the desktop is questionable with every iteration. I’m still using the desktop version of zbrush but that too is steadily coming to a close. Do better.

The best, ignore the negative reviews.

As a desktop user of zbrush, this is next level, way more intuitive, having fun with zbrush again. Hope they keep supporting the app. I don’t understand the negative reviews, i don’t think they need to simplify, there is a learning curve but that does not justify the bad reviews, it’s an industry standard sculpting program, and will say its much more intuitive then most 3d programs that are not on iPad. If you don’t find it intuitive please dont leave bad reviews because your not willing to put in the time to learn, as a professional i want to see this keep getting supported and don’t wanna see this loose support because of peoples miss understanding of what this programs is.

Really interesting but could be a little bit more user-friendly

Obviously, I know this isn’t nomad. This is supposed to be ZBrush and it has a much wider range of use cases and technical features and I really like that but often times a lot of the very fundamental features aren’t labeled I think if you just held over them and they would tell affect things that would be really helpful because sometimes I’m trying to tweak brush settings and I don’t really know what I’m doing
