About Zbrush
Zbrush is the leading digital sculpting software that simulates intuitive and figurative sculpting of clay together with the sophistication and precision of “digitization”. Zbrush is widely used in various industries – plastic arts, jewelry, animation studios, the computer games industry and the engineering and medical industries.
The software enables integration of geometric design with sculptural additions to a variety of needs. With the increasing use of 3D prints, Zbrush enables bridging between physical and digital content, especially in content that correlates with the body due to the figurative nature of the software.

Target audiences
The growing use of zbrush software in the industry creates a need for professionals who know how to model the software with a 3D orientation and output a physical product.
Among other things, ZBrush is used in industries:
Medical industry, Industrial design, Design Games, jewelry design
Advertising industry, Illustration,
The gaming and animation industry
And more …
Study format
The course is practical and the tools taught in each session will be implemented in a personal project which will be printed on ImpactLabs industrial 3D printers.
In the first part of the course we experience various sculptural works that we begin in the class and continue with a home exercise.
In the second part of the course we focus on the personal project, while developing the sculpting and modeling capabilities that will gradually be built throughout the course.
In the curriculum
- Familiarity with Zbrush software and its uses in various industries.
- Experimenting with sculpture in a number of ways – from a basic structure and through the construction of a model skeleton (Zspheres).
Working with different sculpting techniques with layers (subtools), brushes, textures and the use of masks. - Change the position, size, and rotation of the model using Transpose Tools and Gizmo3D.
Create distortions in the model using Deformation Tools. - Add and subtract entities to a model with Live Boolean.
- Using Zremesh and Dynamesh to rearrange the polygons in the model.
- Paint the model using Polypaint.
- Working with lighting in the software, issuing a two-dimensional renderer and familiarity with various methods of importing and exporting 3D models.
- Create a UV map, prepare and export the 3D print models.
About the lecturer - Rinat Goldberger
An artist and designer who designs sculptures and accessories that correspond with the body. Rinat has exhibited in a variety of exhibitions, art and design events in Israel, including a fresh color fair for contemporary art and design, the International Puppet Theater Festival in Jerusalem, the Tel Hai Photography Museum and selected galleries.
Rinat worked as a principal and previously managed the modeling team of People, a company specializing in 3D scans and prints to produce models of people and animals. Today, Rinat is a lecturer in the ZBrush program for digital sculpture, taught at Beit Berl College and Print3D. In addition, Rinat works independently, enlarging and accompanying various projects for imaging and 3D printing for artists and independent designers, and collaborates with commercial companies, including Print3D, Easy3D and TeamCad.
