Short description
SculptForge is a free, open-source digital sculpting app for Windows, macOS and Linux, built to feel familiar to ZBrush artists.
Long description
SculptForge is a free, open-source (GPL) digital sculpting application for artists, students and studios. It follows ZBrush's keys and gestures, and covers the whole sculpting workflow: SubTools, subdivision levels and sculpt layers, dynamic topology, voxel remeshing and ZRemesher-style quad retopology, polypaint with layers, normal and displacement map baking, and facial blend shapes. It exchanges models with ZBrush (GoZ), Blender (a two-way bridge), Unreal Engine and OpenUSD, exports STL for 3D printing, and can turn a phone scan or a single image into a sculptable model. It runs natively on Linux as well as Windows and macOS, with builds for the VFX Reference Platform.
