ZBrushCoreMini Offers Free Sculpting

Pixologic’s free ZBrushCoreMini started from sphere or block meshes with eight materials, eight brushes and iMage3D sharing.

Pixologic introduced ZBrushCoreMini as a free entry point to digital sculpting.

Reduced sculpting set

Projects began from a sphere or block and offered eight materials plus eight brushes including ClayBuildup, Inflate and Pinch. The smaller toolset contrasted with roughly three dozen brushes in ZBrushCore.

iMage3D sharing

iMage3D stored sculpt data in an image that could be posted online and reopened in ZBrushCoreMini for 360-degree viewing. The original article could not verify the export format used for 3D printing, so that claim remained unconfirmed.

Artists should test mesh export, scale and print preparation before production use.
