- polygonal modeling is not sculpting Guest • May 2019 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees
- This program is mostly aimed at polygonal modelling. While they can both produce a 3d model, Sculptris is specifically aimed at 3d Sculpting and texture painting, something Wings 3d does not do. Guest • Mar 2018 • 3 agrees and 1 disagrees
- This is a modelling program, sculptris is a sculpting program. While they both end at a 3d output, the method to get there is completely different. Guest • Jun 2015 • 10 agrees and 1 disagrees

- Its quite similar but has a little more tools than usual Kindof more clunky but still, lets you vertex paint your model and still sculpt on it, sadly you cant export a texture map like Sculptris Pros: More in depth Vertex Paint and still sculpt PBR Shaders Cons: Cant export texture map (But you can export it with vertex colors) Bit more complicated Guest • May 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

I absolutely love this program, it's very easy to use once you get the hang of it.
Sculptris is an amazing achievement but people familiar with the Zbrush demo may find Sculptris (Alpha 5) lacking in some regards and takes a little while to get used to but with some practice & patience it becomes obvious that Sculptris (Alpha 5) really is a powerful alternativeTo Zbrush, especially when you consider the fact that the guy who developed Sculptris "Tomas Pettersson" is now working for Pixologic, the creators of Zbrush!
"The original version 1.02 of Sculptris is now available under the name Alpha 5, free of charge for anyone to download and use without limitation. There is no official support, but an active and friendly community should be able to help you with any problems: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?s=2314fbfea54c0f335fcf40a3c1068500&f=110

Two downsides

Currently, you can't edit the mesh anymore once you've started painting on it. Apart from that and the occasional crash it's a great piece of software. Did I mention it's free?

Another downside is that it hasn't been updated to be able to run on Windows 10. I did update one computer that ran Win 7 and Windows 10 allowed my copy of Sculptris to keep working. A new computer with Win 10 on it wouldn't run.
