Pixologic est le développeur d'un outils de modélisation 3D très populaire chez les professionnels nommé Zbrush. Cet outil permet notamment de "peindre" directement sur les modèles 3D. On pourra par exemple créer directement des crevasses en 3D grâce au pinceau de profondeur. Cet outil est très utiles pour créer des modèles high-poly, composé de nombreux triangles.
Zbrush est donc dès maintenant disponible dans sa version 3.5 avec de nombreuses nouveautés. La mise à jour de la version Windows se fera gratuitement pour les utilisateurs enregistrés. Voici la liste des améliorations :
