ZBrush 2023 also provides Apple Silicon support: expect performance gains if you’re using M1 or M2-powered Macs.Īs a sidenote, Save and Save Next have been added to the File menu. Of course, you can apply ZBrush native filters to your finished render. Redshift for ZBrush supports Standard, MatCap and Redshift materials. This update delivers the first steps toward integrating Redshift: you don’t have to use another software to render your projects. Maybe the M1 optimization is not maybe in ideal state yet.Maxon, which acquired Pixologic back in 2021, announces the release of ZBrush 2023. Completely usable for high-end 3D work and high end cycles renders, well render fine, although not very fast. Redshift under Maya host was a bit disappointing, unsure for the reason why, unsure if the plugin runs native under non-native Maya.If this gets native M1 code could be amazing. Maya runs fine, similarly to other modern notebooks.Single core performance of the machine is really that good. ZBrush works very well, similar to high end desktop such as 3950X based machine.

Marvelous Designer is defunct on M1, does not work with system hanging on complex garments.Currently Substance 3D Paintel runs through Rosetta 2. Ambient Occlusion baking was the only area where this fell (significantly I must say) behind Nvidia powered computer. I was able to paint across tiles in 4K smoothly on battery power. Just tested painting on 10 UDIM tile VFX model. Native version is coming according to Adobe. Substance 3D Designer runs very well currently via Rosetta 2, iRay renders also working fast, similar speed to modern gaming notebooks.My initial 3D software tests on M1 Max are following: Truly portable meaning something that actually can do 3D on battery power, also without the fans getting wild. I want to see if I would be able to use this as a truly portable 3D creation machine. I just bought M1 Max MacBook Pro for production work, here are some tests with 3D software on M1 Max.
