On the other hand, the pixol technology developed by Pixologic can map where the pixel is located on the z-axis of a given model, hence adding a third dimension. While a pixel stores the information of the image X and Y plane of the image, there is no information about the depth of the image. ZBrush is based on pixol technology, in contrast to the pixel.

An object is formed by pushing, pulling and smoothing a clay-like substance in the digital environment.

Such software is different from parametric modeling CAD tools such as Autodesk Fusion and Solidworks, in that sculpting tools treat the mesh as a clay. The new version of the digital sculpting tool comes with a bag of new features for artists, graphic designers, and illustrators.įounded by Ofer Alon and Jack Rimokh, Pixologic introduced the first ZBrush version in 1999 at the SIGGRAPH, an annual graphics conference.ĭigital sculpting tools manipulate a polygonal mesh to form a 3D model. Pixologic, Inc., an LA-based maker of graphics software for film and game industry, has released ZBrush 2019.
