Forger End of Sale (EoS) FAQ

Forger will enter limited maintenance mode on September 10, 2025. Existing users are free to continue using Forger; however, there will no longer be any updates, bug fixes or changes.

Why is Forger no longer being developed?

We carefully considered this decision. Our goal is to consolidate resources and efforts to enhance the sculpting experience on iPad.

By merging our teams, we can leverage Forger's history on iPad and ZBrush's sculpting capabilities to introduce more features and innovations, particularly with the Apple Pencil and iPad.
