ZBrushCoreMini or ZBrushCore?
Which Is Right For You?
ZBrushCoreMini - Just the essentials to get you familiar with 3D. Great for kids, students, and as an introduction to 3D art.
ZBrushCore - The lighter version, powerful and easy to use with more features. This is for artists who want a stand-alone 3D sculpting app that packs a punch but don’t need all the features in the full version of ZBrush.
