Maxon has announced ZBrush for iPad, a new tablet edition of the digital sculpting software. The iPad edition, which is due for release in 2024, was announced at ZBrush Summit 2023.
A new native edition of ZBrush for iPad
Although ZBrush has been a standard tool for digital sculpting in concept design, VFX, game art and motion graphics for two decades, it has always been difficult to use on the move.
While it’s possible to run the desktop version on a mobile workstation, there is currently no tablet edition, driving artists to other iPad digital sculpting apps, including Maxon’s own Forger.
ZBrush for iPad should change that, making the software available for iOS devices.
It’s due out in 2024, but that’s currently all of the information we have: Maxon hasn’t announced how the feature set will differ from the desktop version, or whether subscribers will get it for free.
The firm is currently calling for beta testers: you can sign up via the link at the foot of the story.
Price, release date and system requirements
ZBrush for iPad is due in 2024. Maxon hasn’t announced an exact release date, pricing or system requirements.
