Reach the sculpt you left open

Open ZBrush on your Mac with your sculpt, SubTools, brushes, and desktop settings in place. Inspect the model, review its organization, or check an export without transferring the project into another sculpting app.

  • Inspect the model and SubTools
  • Review brush and geometry settings
  • Check export settings

Use ZBrush on iPad

An iPad gives the desktop sculpt and tool panels more room. It is useful for reviewing a model in the Mac project before returning to detailed sculpting.

How to get ZBrush on your iPhone or iPad

  1. Open ZBrush on your Mac and install the free Apperture Mac host.
  2. Get Apperture on your iPhone or iPad, then pair with your Mac using its QR code.
  3. Connect to your Mac and choose the ZBrush window. Use landscape orientation for more room.

Keep your Mac awake and on a network your iPhone or iPad can reach. Start on the same local network; for access away from home, see the Tailscale setup guide.

Can I use ZBrush on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?

Yes — by streaming ZBrush from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with ZBrush installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.

ZBrush also has a native iPad edition designed for touch and Apple Pencil. Apperture shows desktop ZBrush on your Mac; it does not provide the native iPad app’s input workflow. ZBrush product information.
