description ZBrushCoreMini Overview
This is a simplified, entry-level version of ZBrush, designed specifically for beginners to grasp the core concepts of digital sculpting without being overwhelmed by the full software's complexity. It's perfect for understanding form and volume. However, users quickly outgrow it, needing the full, much more complex ZBrush suite for professional results.
help ZBrushCoreMini FAQ
What tools are included in ZBrushCoreMini?
Maxon describes ZBrushCoreMini as a free beginner version with Sculptris Pro, eight popular sculpting brushes, symmetry, materials, and two base meshes: a sphere and a stone block. It is designed as an introduction to digital sculpting rather than the full ZBrush toolset. [ZBrushCoreMini documentation](https://help.maxon.net/zbr/en-us/Content/html/zbrushcore/zbrushcoremini/zbrushcoremini.html)
Can ZBrushCoreMini make a creature for 3D printing?
Yes, Sculptris Pro can add or remove polygons while you sculpt, and the SnakeHook brush can pull out limbs or hair-like forms. The limited interface and polygon ceiling make it better for learning and small projects than complex production models.
Can ZBrushCoreMini export an OBJ file?
Yes. Its interface includes an Export for 3D Printing command that exports the mesh as an OBJ file, which can then be opened in a slicer. [Maxon interface guide](https://help.maxon.net/zbr/en-us/Content/html/zbrushcore/zbrushcoremini/zbrushcoremini-interface/zbrushcoremini-interface.html)
Can new users still download ZBrushCoreMini from Maxon?
Maxon announced that ZBrushCoreMini would stop being available for new download on May 30, 2025. Existing users may continue using it, but the product is in limited maintenance rather than active development.
