ZBrush is the most advanced software for 3D sculpting. It features an extensive range of tools for manipulating organic 3D shapes, making it a popular tool for character design.
ZBrush is available for Mac and Windows, but there is not a version of ZBrush available for the iPad. That’s where Astropad Studio comes in!

Default shortcuts for ZBrush on iPad
Astropad Studio includes a sidebar with easy access to your favorite shortcuts. We’ve pre-loaded the sidebar with default shortcuts when you are using ZBrush:
- Undo (Ctrl/ Cmd + z)
- Redo (Ctrl/ Cmd + Shift + z)
- Move (w)
- Scale (e)

The shortcuts can also be customized in the Astropad Studio sidebar. In the Edit Shortcuts panel, you can delete, rearrange, rename, and replace any shortcut.
Queue up multi-key shortcuts
You can do multi-key commands when utilizing shortcuts by typing out each key in succession. For example, using B M V in succession will execute the multi-key command associated with that combination.
Shortcuts are per-app and savable — so you can save a shortcut set for ZBrush and another set for Photoshop.
