Does pixologic have a zbrush student version?

MainManiac

I have to be missing the link somewhere, if zbrush's top competitor released free student versions of software then pixologic has to have topped it :S

Dan!

i don't know, but sculptris is free and pretty badass

I hate sculptris (in a fun way), it goes too high poly for me to start with and is wayy to tedious. Its like a slushy.

You can decide how many poly's are added when you make a stroke... its called the detail slider. And Sculptris has one of the most realistic sculpting engines around, feels like sculpting clay!

Also ZBrush is damn cheap... updates have always been free. Great value for money. Get a student loan if you need, it costs half of what a 3d artist would spend on a laptop...

Not to mention Sculptris also has the Reduce Selected option to quickly lower the tri count starting with the more dense areas of the mesh, so it's great if you have too many tris during the basic blocking out steps of sculpting.

You can also buy a "used" ZBrush license if you can find one. Pixologic handles those and it's the same as a brand new license.

zbrush is alraedy pretty cheap for what it does, it is far more cost effective than mudbox or any autodesk product.

You can get a reduced price version here if you have a student id.

The only thing that really kills Sculptris for me is there are no sculpting layers, yet... Other than that it's a neat program

I hope they add that in a free alpha, I always have to be really smart about saving for that reason.

I asked a dealer for pricing, and said there was a student/non-commercial license for half the price.

Wonder if Sculptris can be used for commercial work.

Sculptris is a bit of a pain in the rear end at times, probably save much more time with zbrush.

Looks like Zbrush added something new... similar to sculptris?
