- Blender is superior in every regard. Plus it's everything even money can't buy. Additionally with Blender you can do everything you can make in ZBrush plus Ultra! And above all, it's free and open source Guest • Feb 2019 • 4 agrees and 18 disagrees
- it's free , more simple and has many other uses but it may not be as powerful as ZBrush in terms of performance or sculpting Guest • May 2017 • 16 agrees and 3 disagrees

- 3D Coat, along with Mudbox are the best alternatives because they are dedicated sculpting software much so than all the others which are basically 3D design software with a sculpting feature. Guest • Apr 2020
- 3-D coat is like zbrush+substance painter (though you might consider getting SP too). Unlike zbrush it runs on Linux which is great for #indiedev! And yes, there are some graphics tablets that have Linux drivers written for them. Guest • Feb 2017 • 3 agrees and 2 disagrees

- Of all the programs i´ve tried, this one has the most similar way of sculpting to Zbrush. So it´s also perfect if you are looking for the closest thing to sculpture with real mud, clay.. It´s a bit inferior to zbrush in sculpting options but painting is way better because it is not mesh dependant, you don´t need a million polygon to paint smallest details. Guest • Nov 2019
