Substance 3D Painter Bridge in ZBrush now available!

Adobe and Maxon are rolling out a seamless “Send to” workflow in the new release of ZBrush allowing you to send your meshes from ZBrush over to Substance 3D Painter more smoothly than ever before.

This partnership between two of the key industry-standard tools used across games, VFX, animation, manufacturing, and product design is all about reducing friction in your creative workflow, freeing you up to focus on the more creative elements of your project that really matter.

Sculpt in ZBrush. Send your work directly to Substance 3D Painter in one click. And dive straight into texturing without breaking your flow. It’s really that simple.

Try it out! You’ll need ZBrush 2026.2.0 (the Maxon One April 2026 update) and Substance 3D Painter 12.0.2. And for more info, Maxon have just posted a livestream demo of Master ZBrush Trainer Ian Robinson and all-around 3D Ninja Wes McDermott showing how the process works. You can watch that above, or click through to see it in YouTube right here.
