This means your fur and fibers will behave as sculptable geometry when using any of ZBrush’s 3D sculpting brushes. Users will benefit from having control over density ranges where meshes are concerned. Polygon numbers will span a wide range from minute to millions, all the while retaining exportability. These features will be joined by our developments to the BPR (Best Preview Render) system.
