Watch This BEFORE You Buy Zbrush Core in 2023...

Nothing zbrush is worth buying past 2021. Fuck Maxon.

I bought it right before they sold to Maxon 🥲…

What's worse is that there is no update in sight in years.
I can't for the life of me handle the full ZBrush with its convoluted GUI and bloated trashy gimmicky features like Light stuff, Camera stuff, Material stuff, turntable, Nanomesh, Micromesh and all the plugins etc. which are totally useless for an indie game developer.
Hope they make an update of ZBC with refreshed UX, VDM and other useful features and I don't care about the price.

Wish that Blender would come out with bas relief like ZBrush. Or at least make it simple to do in Blender.

I bought a perpetual license for Core. Mainly use it for the ZRemesher nowadays. It's limited, but it's something.

I have core, it's covered in dust. Sadly no update which sucks... might guess is that'll just drop core and just keep the core mini.

But what for those who had it for lifetime? they keep it that way, or nowall of a sudden need to pay for it? and normal zbrush is still a lifetime payment?

Thank for the advice

Hi, thank you for video. Any spoiler on Zbrush 2023 new features? 😊In november will be the summit, fortunately, i hope will see something new

Well to be fair I know a lot of people who upgraded to full zbrush within a year of learning zbrush core, so then core just sits unused wasted. for 10 a month you can get used to the limited interface and comfortable in the program before moving to a full version subscription. 150 would represent 15 months just for some direct comparison to the old price. Preventing some overwhelm and expensive frustration or even rage quitting that can come from jumping right into the deep end. Then when you're ready or financially able, you can either subscribe or buy the perpetual licence for zbrush. 🤷

Hello Al, I agree with you.
Before the Maxon/Pixologic changes I felt in love with the software, and bought ZBCore, it was not an easy purchase due to dollar convertions etc... but I did it. Now I just feel betrayed, and I wont look at software the same way again, to me now, they are just tools now

Bought full zbrush just before the program changed hands,
Not worth it anymore
