Or learning new ways of how to bring the best tools to the artist. Pixologic is dedicated in providing the best 3D sculpting software in the market. This is the 2nd release and contains valuable addition, features and fixes. Pixologic has release the latest version of ZBrush 3.5. We look forward to seeing all the amazing things you will create with the new ZBrush 3.5. Sounds too good to be true….you betcha, but wait there’s more.

New brushes such as Trim, Planar, Noise, Move, Spherical, Slide, Form, Flakes, and Crumple. Features such as ZSpheres 2 and ZSketch, Surface noise, Brush noise, Improved LazyMouse with Backtrack and Snap to Track modes. This release is jam packed with new features that will enhance the way you sculpt and create. Either way though, Blender is still fantastic.That’s right all you ZBrushers, the time has come for the newest release from Pixologic, pleasewelcome ZBrush 3.5!!!! But yeah, it isn't cheap, but it's still a lot cheaper than zbrush. It also has a bridge between blender and 3dcoat. You can switch between voxels and polys depending on what you want to do. The individual licence is now way out of my price range anyway so, Blender it is.

At that time there was a special $99 license for amateurs (non-commercial use) which, I think, has been discontinued now. I was confused about the term 'voxels' and thought they must be something different to polygons so no good for exporting to DAZ Studio. I almost bought 3DCoat a few years ago but didn't. It even has texture painting like substance painter.

I've recently moved over to 3dCoat which doesn't have that problem and their toolset is amazing. The problem with Blender is that it slows to a crawl when your face count goes up. Blender's sculpting toolset is probably the next best after Zbrush, so i will probably be using that if Maxon make zbrush subscription only.
