Zbrush: 2022.0.8
Deducted 0.5 for lack of Redshift bridge and the UV/Bevel Pro interaction bug. But for pure sculpting stability? 10/10.
To run this version optimally, Pixologic (via Maxon) recommended the following: zbrush 2022.0.8
Before 2022, cutting geometry required complex masking or boolean operations. The Knife Brushes changed the game. In version 2022.0.8, the brush engine received optimizations: Deducted 0
