Download 125 new ZBrush and 3D-Coat brushes


Eight custom ZBrush Drag brushes created by Michael Dunnam. The full collection of 125 Drag and Stroke brushes can be downloaded for free from his website, and has now be converted for use in 3D-Coat.


Artist Michael Dunnam has released 125 free custom ZBrush brushes created for use in his sculpting work.

The brushes are organised by type (Stroke, Drag, clothing, terrain, technological, skin, natural textures), and can be downloaded individually, or in themed sets.

Each ZBrush ZBP file comes with an accompanying PSD showing the hi-res alpha image used to create it. All the files are packed up as RAR archives, so you’ll need a tool like IZArc capable of unpacking them.

The brushes have been getting a lot of attention since the first set were released last month: our excuse for being late to the party is that Phil Nolan has just converted them into PenPacks for use in 3D-Coat.

Kudos to both of them for providing a fantastic free resource.


Updated 30 June 2017: You can now download Michael Dunnam’s free resources from his Gumroad page. There are currently 196 free ZBrush brushes and over 150 free 3D-Coat brushes available.
