Zbrush serial key or number

Description

ZBrush® is the 3D industry's standard digital sculpting application. Use customizable brushes to shape, texture, and paint virtual clay, while getting instant feedback. Work with the same tools used by film studios, game developers and artists the world over. ZBrush®  is a free upgrade for all registered ZBrush users.

Dynamesh is ZBrush’s digital clay. It rebuilds the topology of your model as you sculpt, creating a smooth, even surface for you to add fine details. Step between different resolutions of your model, and changes on any level will be applied to each one, enabling you to create complex models, but still be able to make big changes when required. Concept artists and illustrators find that ZBrush bridges the gap between 2D and 3D.

News in ZBrush

A number of features were presented in ZBrush See an overview here. Some new feature examples:

Introducing Dynamics

Enhance your sculpting with a Dynamics system that allows any surface to be contracted, expanded, inflated or draped with cromwellpsi.com realistic cloth folds - even on a low resolution plane. Place your mesh, turn on the collision volume and any desired controls, then watch as ZBrush drapes the cloth mesh over any other visible meshes.

Controlled Cloth Sculpting

Special brushes have been introduced which use the Dynamics engine to give unique capabilities for interacting with the cloth surface.

Performance enhancements

Even more performance enhancements have now been added to ZBrush. Speed has increased across all sectors, including faster response time with high polygon models, increased DynaMesh speed and much more.

ZModeler Upgraded

New functions have been added to the already powerful ZModeler brush system.

License options

There are ZBrush licenses for all needs: indiviuals, large groups, or bigger corporations utilizing license servers.

Single-User

Each copy receives a unique serial number which is assigned to a single artist. ZBrush may be concurrently activated on any two computers (Windows or Mac) provided that both copies are never run at the same time. ZBrush may also be easily moved between computers whenever necessary.

Volume Licensing

A Volume License is ideal for organizations where the same artists use ZBrush on a daily basis or where some computers cannot be continuously connected to the company network. This license uses a single serial number which allows a number of concurrent activations (Windows or macOS) equal to the number of purchased seats.

This is a node-locked license, which means that it must be activated from the computer where it will be run. ZBrush may also be easily moved between computers whenever necessary. Volume licenses require five seats or more. Additional seats may be added in any quantity and at any time. Special pricing is available for quantities of ten or more seats. For a quote, please contact us.

Floating Licensing

A Floating License is ideal for organizations that need to be able to run ZBrush at any time from any networked location. This license makes use of a license server, installed on one of your networked computers. The ZBrush client may then be installed on any or all machines connected to the network. When any user launches ZBrush, it checks with the server to see if a seat is available.

The server allows a number of concurrent users equal to the number of seats purchased. If the number of artists using the software is equal to the number of purchased seats, no additional users may launch ZBrush until someone else closes the application.

Floating licenses require 10 seats or more. Additional seats may be added in any quantity and at any time. Platforms may be mixed, with both Windows and macOS clients communicating with the same license server.

This article explains how to activate ZBrush or ZBrushCore (Single-User or Volume licenses, versions and above) on a computer that has internet access.

It is important that you be logged into the computer under an Administrator account when installing and activating your software.  After activation, any user on the computer will be able to run your software. 

Manyantivirus programsare known to interfere with successful installation and/or activation.  This includes (but is not limited to) Windows Defender, McAfee^®and Norton^®.  It is recommended to temporarily disable or suspend your antivirus software before installing your software.  You may enable it again after activating.  (Your firewall typically does not matter and can be ignored unless it blocks ZBrush or ZBrushCore from communicating with the Pixologic servers when activating.)

• NOTE:  These instructions reference your Pixologic ID.  This is your registered email address and whatever password you assigned when your created your account.  My Licenses, Support, and our software itself all use the same Pixologic ID for login or activation purposes.  This makes license management very simple because you never have to remember your serial number(s) -- even when moving between software versions.  EVERYTHING uses the same Pixologic ID login information.

We strongly recommend online activation:

1. Upon launching your software you will be greeted with the activation window.
2. Enter your Pixologic ID and click Log In.
   • If this is a situation where you don't want the person doing the activation to know the Pixologic ID password (such as when letting individual users activate under a Volume license) see this article for an alternative.
3. Your default internet browser will open to a page which displays your active license(s), including the number of available activations for each item.  For most users, you will have only one license displayed.  Simply click the Select button next to the desired license to use it for activation.S
   • Some web browsers (especially Firefox) do not allow themselves to be launched by Pixologic software.  If your computer is connected to the internet and no web page opens after clicking the Log In button, first check to see if the window opened in the background behind ZBrush or ZBrushCore.  If it did not, close the application and change your default web browser to a different one, such as Edge or Safari.  Then restart your software to try again.
4. On the next page you will be asked for a description of the computer where your license is being activated.
   • The default will be the same computer name that has been assigned by your operating system.
   • Whatever you enter here is what My Licenses will list for this activation in the future.  Because you are allowed to have two activations per Single-User license (or more with Volume licenses), having a specific name will help you know one activation from anther when viewing your My Licenses page.
   • Please use a meaningful, machine-specific description rather than a generic one like "Workstation."
5. After submitting this description, you will receive a "Congratulations!" message about the activation.  At this stage, you can close your browser page and go back to ZBrush or ZBrushCore.
6. In ZBrush or ZBrushCore, click the "Check my License" button to have your software query the licensing server.  Within moments, the activation should be verified and confirmed by a new window.
7. After clicking the OK button, your software will start normally and is ready to be used.

If you have difficulties not covered by these instructions, please submit a Support ticket.
