@Ender12 , I have 2022.0.2 version on my laptop. I am a character artist and for what I use zB for my latest version is way more than I will ever totally use. I haven't bought the Maxon version so this version of zB is probably the last free update available. Pixologic have given us free updates for almost 20 years. I…
Hey guys, have you ever tried Nomad Sculpt for Android & IOS? On new IPad Pro 2021&2022 it is super fast compared to Blender with really nice real-time rendering with some post processing features. While it is not a replacement for a full suite, it is astonishing what you can do. Since Maxon bought Pixologic, more and more…
indeed it´s quite the opposite! when i was thinking about getting a license roughly 8-9 years ago there have been already rumors about the need to pay for updates. since i was not sure about getting zBrush for more than hobbyist use i just wrote support (didn´t want to buy and pay 2 weeks later for an update) and they told…

Given how many users they must have that could still have been a significant thing for the company.

Of course this sounds…
Hello, Well, the upgrade to Maxon 2022 (permanent) from an older version comes for free. It is done through their license conversion process. The page states that it converts to 2021, but it is actually 2022. The very annoying thing imho is that it puts anyone currently using an older version in the precarious situation of…
"Or did they add functionality now to save out older formats? At least I can't spot anything like that in 2021.7.1" That would be my question too. I feel like they will have no choice but to add this functionality to ensure compatibility with 2022.0.5, which is the version that many will stick to. The file format changing…
Yes there is: https://www.maxon.net/de/buy/perpetual They are pushing subscription because it's more lucrative and better to have a steady income stream but Maxon so far has luckily always kept offering perpetual and service plans (meaning: one year upgrades) in their lineup. And in the lines at the very very bottom of…
