About ZBrush 4Pixologic has achieved another breakthrough with the release of ZBrush 4. It sets a new standard for digital art software, changing the way artists create by introducing a brand new suite of sculpting features and expanding on the directions established by the innovations of the existing ZBrush toolset. See ZBrush 4 at www.pixologic.com Scott Spencer Designer at Weta Workshop says: ''ZBrush 4 leaves me speechless. The breadth of new features and functionality has blown away any notions of what is possible in this program. My mind is still catching up to the possibilities!'' Artists can explore new ways to create sculpture ready meshes with Shadow Box, refine hard surface edges with the new Clip Brushes and manage complex multi-part models with new SubTool features. With the new Project All features, ZBrush 4 lets you combine multiple SubTools into one and use the new MatchMaker Brush to fit parts perfectly together - the possibilities are endless! Stay in ZBrush more than ever before!ZBrush 4 offers the freedom to explore and create; to take art from concept to final production asset without the need to leave the ZBrush environment. The flexible toolset is designed to fit artist and professional needs and the working pipeline. "ZBrush has become a game changer for those like me, who
have continually relied on external modeling programs for things
such as hard surface modeling. I can finally see myself generating
full character and prop content exclusively in ZBrush and that is a
great thing indeed." With Version 4, ZBrush users can combine hard surface and organic modeling tools or techniques to create fantastic creatures, superheroes, vehicles, environments and more! With the new Spotlight feature, it becomes even easier to texture and deform any sculpt in edit mode. Spotlight will also allow any or all textures to be manipulated in the ZBrush workspace. Spotlight will adjust the texture, scale, hue, color change, tiling in vertical or horizontal, nudge and much more. Steve Warner 3D Modeling Instructor Digital Animation and Visual
Effects School says: "My production manager recently asked me why I decided to
use ZBrush when planning our latest production and not just stick
with our other software. I told him I have no problems with that as
long as he was willing to triple the schedule. I convinced him! As
a modeler with ZBrush 4 I can just forget that the other software
is there and work three times as fast!" Art in motion!Now ZBrush 4 includes an animation, 'art in motion' Timeline, letting artists to create moving turntables for their demo reel or presentations to their art director. They have the power to animate poses, blend shapes, store camera positions, sync animation to music and import audio - all within ZBrush.

new level. ZBrush 4 will exceed all expectations. With its hard
surface and rendering capabilities, Pixologic and ZBrush prove once
again why they are number 1.'' "As an Artist, I've always felt as though something was
missing- a piece that would allow me to express more clearly what
I'm dreaming of and finally bring the creatures lurking in here to
life. I never knew the name of that missing part until I
experienced ZBrush. Now ZBrush 4 lets me delve more deeply and
explore new themes in the most exceptional way. I wouldn't be where
