ZBrushCore 2021

Pixologic released ZBrushCore 2021 with new retopology and subdivision tools aimed at hobbyists and students.

ZRemesher

ZRemesher converted high-resolution models into lower-resolution versions with cleaner topology and edge flow. The ZBrushCore implementation offered a reduced set of controls compared with the full ZBrush 2021 version.

Dynamic Subdivision

Dynamic Subdivision allowed artists to work on a low-resolution base mesh while viewing a real-time preview of higher subdivision levels.

MicroPoly

The MicroPoly system from ZBrush 2021 was added to ZBrushCore, enabling detailed textile surfaces using presets such as linen and denim.
