The real reason Blender won’t be on iPad is because Apple’s App Store and Blender’s license are incompatible. BTW Blender’s UI is customizable too but people still complain about it. 🤷🏻♂
YO! I already have Zbrush on ipad, with the perpetual license! All it took was Easy Canvas and a fast router! Apple pencil feels great, everything works. Only downside is that it's locked to my wifi. So, yeah, I cant sculpt on a train, but the couch and a movie night is still very nice!
I picked up the 2023-24 ZBrush to try out with a bit of a discount. I haven't found any reason to leave my perpetual 2022 license over this last year what so ever. Super disappointed and I will not be renewing. I gave them a year just to realize I waisted my money trying to upgrade.
We are maybe impatient, but it would be better if they will release it when its ready and polished. Bad reviewson start no one forgets... Like in photoshop mobile
Honestly Nomad sculpt is already way better deal on ipad than zbrush. Like it already made features that zbrush has but better. It has hierarchies, instances, way better curve tools, layers that arent tied to topology and pbr viewport. Plus quadremesher thats same as zremesher. Can´t really see myself subscribing to zbrush on ipad, since i have on desktop if i need it.
Running Zbrush on a surface tablet with a pen is near perfection, as also mentioned the iPad has the luxury of both Nomad and Forger, with the latter being capable of hooking into C4D on the fly. So if they're going to charge a nominal subscription fee for the iPad, it better damn well be a feature rich experience.
If the program has monthly costs, it's just about making money, nothing else. It's better to stick with old versions like ZBrush or Blender or Nomad. What corporations are doing is simply perverse.
I’m only interested in the iPad version. I tried the PC version three or four times. After a few weeks not using it I forget everything about how to use it. I know it’s great for people who use it regularily.
Yeah zbrush’s ability to customize your ui is great, BUT it is only great once you understand your own workflow. The learning curve is very steep because actions you do often are buried within different menus, and so when you are new it is hard to remember where all those things are. But once you realize that you do those actions often, you can throw them into a custom menu or hotkey them and start zoomin.
Why would I pay for software this days? This subscriptions are predatory and I don't have money for all that. I prefer to crack everything until I don't get a serious job. There´s no way they will go for a one time fee. And if they go that route, it will not be cheap.
Thanks! That's hilarious! When people hate on it's usually a dead give away showing they haven't REALLY been in Zbrush long or they haven't tried to customize it.
Long time Zbrush user here, I think the problem is that while it indeed is great once you know where everything is and you customize it to fit your workflow. It is incredibly unintuitive for someone new to pick up and work on. LIke needing to "drop" a subtool on the canvas and getting into edit mode. Or the things that Zbrush does, and it takes years to figure out why exactly it behaves that way. For example, lazy mouse interfering with Zmodeler, scale settings being extremely unintuitive why the same subtool can change sizing going from 1 tool to another., or why the same dynamesh resolution can have vastly different results on the exact same subtool but at different scale.... things like that which will make no sense with someone less than a few years in the software. And that's just scratching the surface. That said, it is the absolute best sculpting tool by a large margin, and those of us who sunk in the decade to truly see its potential can be blinded by our ease to navigate the software. It could definitely stand to benefit from a restructuring of menus, much in the same way that Blender redesigned their sh!tty interface to something pretty good in 2.8's update years ago, which could give people just now learning the software an easier runway to just get started rather than trying to figure out which buttons they need to press in the cockpit before it moves.
Personally I'd love this to use as a sketching tool for practicing when I don't feel like doing the full pipeline/booting up my PC and sitting down at my desk. Feel like I could get small practice sessions in easier with this. But with that the pricing scares me, it wouldn't be worth it if it was subscription based (which most likely it will be..) Don't like the overly simplified UI that would mess up muscle memory between PC and iPad though.
Good point about muscle memory… but yeah, for those random moments throughout the day, hopping on an iPad can be way more convenient. It would also slow me to be more social when I sculpt, I can be on the couch still interacting with my kids
Likely there will be a 1 computer, 1 mobile tier for zbrush and 1 computer 1 mobile license as part of Maxon one. IF Maxon one stays the same price and just includes zbrush for ipad, which I think they will because they're likely dropping dev on Forger, it won't be that terrible of a deal.
It's basically them making folders work how it's intended(which worked on an older version) goz crashing when setting manual path(which was also not a thing on an older version) and the big only notable change that affects user life is the gosh darn screensaver, it's been broken for a while too

Man... Peel UV was looking so good... :( I Dont care about ipad version not because I think it will be bad or because of fees. I simply cant afford/justify purchasing ipad. I would rather get some big Cintiq. But for those with more money.. Sure, that will be cool. I am waiting for that Nomad on desktop though :)
Would have Zbrush on Ipad except they crushed all artists in their last advertisement. 🤣It would give Maxon an excuse to revamp the difficult UI though.
What a small world! This was my post on reddit and I follow you for like a year. Big up!
No way?? That’s awesome!
I’ll pay one off price. Monthly subscription they can fu*k off. For everything else there’s Nomad Sculpt.
Haha. Agreed
The real reason Blender won’t be on iPad is because Apple’s App Store and Blender’s license are incompatible. BTW Blender’s UI is customizable too but people still complain about it. 🤷🏻♂
Blender's UI also isn't really optimized for tablet/touch as everything is kinda small... ZBrush had to rework the whole app for the iPad
YO!

That sounds great!
really,how much it cost ,and the hardware requirement?

2022 is great! I will be using it for a long time too!
I think they should release it already. its nearly mid 2024
We are maybe impatient, but it would be better if they will release it when its ready and polished. Bad reviewson start no one forgets... Like in photoshop mobile
I'm guessing it'll be similar to the pricing system they have for Forger
Honestly Nomad sculpt is already way better deal on ipad than zbrush. Like it already made features that zbrush has but better.

Yeah, it really seems to be. That seems like you have everything you need!
Running Zbrush on a surface tablet with a pen is near perfection, as also mentioned the iPad has the luxury of both Nomad and Forger, with the latter being capable of hooking into C4D on the fly. So if they're going to charge a nominal subscription fee for the iPad, it better damn well be a feature rich experience.
Yeah, no kidding. That's good to hear that the surface works well with Zbrush. I have never tried it.
I’m looking forward to it as an iPad only user. Hoping it’ll come with rigging. That’s the major thing I’m missing from nomad
Are you talking about zspheres rigging?
@@AlHowell ai believe so, I haven’t used Zbrush before, but I heard there was some sort of rigging, so that must be it

I really hope they keep the ani action features on the iPad version.
I’m only interested in the iPad version. I tried the PC version three or four times. After a few weeks not using it I forget everything about how to use it. I know it’s great for people who use it regularily.
Yep, you really have to stay consistently to keep that flow.

Good to see you back Al! Zbrush interface rules! We should start a Zbrush interface lovers cult xD

Nobody says that quad remesher (made of Zremesher creator from Zbrush) is aditionaly 15 bugs
Nomad is $15. I don’t remember how much quad remesher is

My problem isn't the UI but it is related... I want a legit object tree!
Yeah... yep... 100%

let them add a light source like nomad in PC version
4:46 I'm not even joking
Read the patch notes for 2024.0.4

Lol! I just looked it up… that is hilarious! And sad… thank you for sharing this with me

100% I cannot afford one either! The only way I’ll be checking it out is if an iPad shows up at my house and I didn’t pay for it lol
Would have Zbrush on Ipad except they crushed all artists in their last advertisement. 🤣It would give Maxon an excuse to revamp the difficult UI though.
Literally lol!!
Oh look. Another subscription model of pricing. Another no.
why would anyone care about reddit bots
