The Zbrush interface is infinitely customizable, and the fine folks over at Polycount have done quite a lot of customizing over in this enormous forum threadrepository.

Former Lifewire writer Justin Slick has been creating 3D computer graphics for more than 10 years, specializing in character and environment creation.

ZBrush is excellent out of the box, but Id be lying if I said there werent ways to make it better.

The ZBrush community has put out a huge amount of content over the years that can drastically improve your sculpting workflow and efficiency.

From matcaps, to brushes, to custom user interface designs, here are fifteen indispensable ZBrush resources.

First things first.

If youre using Zbrush, its almost impossible that you dont already know about ZbrushCentral, the ZClassroom, and the Zbrush downloads center, but consider this a reminder if youve overlooked it.

The Zclassroom has improved substantially over the past six months to the point where they have some of the best Zbrush training available anywhere, free or premium.

Its also well organized into bite sized chunks, so its perfect for learning a specific tool or workflow.

Ive used a lot of different Zbrush Matcap sets, but Zbros have gradually become some of my favorite sculpting materials around.

If you go over to Zbros blog, youll find a wide range of ZMT downloads available, including an excellent skin shader, a useful silhouette material, and an extensive clay set.

These materials feel great to sculpt onoutside of the Ralph Stumpf Gnomonology sets (premium), theyre some of the best out there.

For a long, long time, the Damian Standard was the go to seamcrackcrease brush, but Orbs is just so much cleaner.

Instead of pinching the heck out of your geometry, Orb uses a perfectly formed alpha in conjunction with lazy-mouse to give a clean, well-defined line.

If youre interested in how the brush works, Orb put a tutorial up on Vimeo, or you can just download it here.

The sIBL isnt exclusively a Zbrush resourcean archive of well-shot HDR images can come in handy no matter what 3D package youre using SIBL provides a wide range of quality HDRs that are perfect for image based lighting, enviroment maps, and lightcap creation in Zbrush.

If you spend any amount of time sculpting in Zbrush, chances are youll eventually want to get your models, textures, and normal maps into another package at some point.

Xnormal can also extract a wide variety of additional maps, including ambient occlusion, cavity, curvature, height, etc., etc., etc.

If youre looking to become a game developer, you might as well download XNormal right awayyoure going to need it eventually.

Mech brushes like this are actually really easy to create for yourself (in fact, maybe Ill do a tutorial on that sometime soon), but if youre working on a hard surface project and just need a quick solution, this set of 50 mech stamps will hold you over in a pinch.

The pack includes all kinds of techy bits and bobsnuts, bolts, intake valves, tube inserts, etc.

If youve ever work on a reptilian piece, you know that sculpting individual scales one-by-one just isnt the best way to go about things.

A couple years ago Damir Martin completed a sculpting marathon where he sculpted 55 dragon heads in 30 daysthankfully for us, he also posted his alpha set, full of reptilian skin and scales, up on ZbrushCentral.
