CozyBlanket vs ZBrush Usage & Stats
CozyBlanket includes in-app purchases to fully unlock its import/export options and advanced features.
For the best experience, Apple Pencil is recommended, but not required.
## A complete suite for model preparation and optimization
CozyBlanket can perform manual retopology, seam-based UV unwrapping, manual packing, normal maps and vertex colors baking. With CozyBlanket you can take your high poly models and manually prepare them for animation, video games, real-time rendering and surfacing. All with a single app.
With CozyBlanket you can move the technical, manual work of creating 3D assets from your desktop to your iPad. By using a minimal UI and its innovative UX you can perform retopology, uv and baking as an enjoyable, game-like process similar to solving a puzzle, from the comfort of your sofa, on the train or while enjoying a hot chocolate at your favorite cafe.
CozyBlanket was designed to be able to handle high resolution meshes coming from scans and desktop DCCs in mobile devices. Its performance is mostly limited by the iPad available memory.
CozyBlanket allows you to import a high-poly sculpt and export a game-ready asset that looks the same, all without common pipeline issues such as scale mismatches, tangent space errors and snapping artifacts.
## A different approach to retopology, UV and baking
CozyBlanket was designed to be beginner friendly and approachable, but very powerful. You can learn CozyBlanket's fundamentals and start working with it just by seeing it in action. From there, you can start digging into the included instructive tutorial slides and Action Gallery to discover its advanced features.
All tooling was designed to take the most advantage of Apple Pencil and multitouch screens. When doing retopology, you create new quads, patches and grids by directly drawing on the high poly mesh. You can also transform the UV coordinates and texture position by using multitouch over the 3D mesh.
CozyBlanket actions are also coherent between different tasks. Fox example, its Relax action behaves identically when using it for smoothing topology positions, UV coordinates or the baking cage's shape.
## Integrates with desktop software and pipelines
CozyBlanket Standard version supports network functionality, This way it can be integrated with desktop software and pipelines by streaming geometry over the local network. No exporting and transferring files between devices is needed.
CozyBlanket provides a network protocol that can be fully scripted to fit the requirements of your studio pipelines and custom tooling.

Created by artists for artists, ZBrush for iPad offers many of the same tools and features found in ZBrush's desktop version used by the professionals in film, game, concept art, toys, collectibles, jewelry, automotive, aviation, product design and so much more, including the collection of leading, proprietary digital sculpting brushes created with real-world sculpting techniques in mind.
Begin your creations with our extensive library of base models, or utilize our advanced photogrammetry feature to scan real-world objects and seamlessly integrate them into ZBrush.
Our Pro Projects library allows you to observe how a Seasoned Professional works in ZBrush by accessing and loading the files provided in the Pro Projects library.
Traditional low polygon modeling workflows allow the user to create with ease in low polygons with our ZModeler and Retopo brushes.
The Surface Noise feature allows you to effortlessly add intricate patterns to your model, whether utilizing an image or the NoiseMaker curve. You can easily adjust the size, orientation, and repetition of the pattern through a dynamic and user-friendly interface.
ZBrush for iPad includes:
- Over 200 of ZBrush's leading digital sculpting brushes and the ability to easily load the thousands of custom brushes that have been created by ZBrush users.
- A highly customizable user interface that expands on the desktop version's QuickMenu, making it easy to arrange sculpting tools for a more optimized, personal experience. In addition, users can customize the bottom toolbar to include their favorite brushes, materials, textures and alphas. Customize your Apple Pencil double tap or Pencil Pro squeeze to complete an action.
- Similar high polygon details as ZBrush desktop, depending on iPad device. The latest M4 iPad with at least a one terabyte (TB) hard drive, for example, can reach up to 90+ million polygons per mesh.
- Innovative UI design makes it possible to take advantage of Apple's user-friendly touch capabilities and jump right into sculpting, especially for new users. Gesture controls for common features, such as draw size, focal shift, undos and redos, help streamline workflow.
- Seamless file sharing for ZBrush subscribers who want to move ZTool (ZTL) and ZProject (ZPR) files between iPad and desktop. GoZ can also be used to move files between versions with one click.
- ZRemesher generates a new mesh with an even distribution of polygons, preserving the essential details and flow of the original surface.
- Sculptris Pro adds and reduces triangle tessellation with each brush stroke, making it simple to focus on sculpting without worrying about technical restraints.
- DynaMesh retopologizes while sculpting, so it’s possible to stretch digital clay or add volume while retaining the same basic capacity for detail.
- Array Mesh makes it possible to create duplicate instances of geometry in varying patterns and shapes in real time.
- The Dynamics system enhances sculpts by allowing any surface to be draped over another surface.
- Live Boolean gives users the ability to combine, subtract, and/or use intersections to create unique results.
- PolyPaint makes it easy to paint and sculpt at the same time, making it possible to paint on the surface of a model without first assigning a texture map.
