Zbrush是传统和创新工具的完美组合，让您创造复杂、高品质的图形，快速有效地表达自我,这些功能曾经在《指环王3：国王归来》这部影片的数字建模方面被广泛运用（主要是魔兽）。它能给於您即时反应，即时绘制您的图像，它也非常适合於情节串联图板和概念化设计，功能足於将您的作品打造完美。直观、易於使用和功能强大，Zbrush将激发您创造多面的、震撼人心的图像，不管您是个新手，还是位专业人士。Zbrush独特的2D和3D功能的组合将产生动人的效果，不需要您经过痛苦的漫长学习。
ZBrush 是一个数字雕刻和绘画软件，它以强大的功能和直观的工作流程彻底改变了整个三维行业。在一个简洁的界面中，ZBrush 为当代数字艺术家提供了世界上最先进的工具。以实用的思路开发出的功能组合，在激发艺术家创作力的同时，ZBrush 产生了一种用户感受，在操作时会感到非常的顺畅。ZBrush 能够雕刻高达 10 亿多边形的模型，所以说限制只取决于的艺术家自身的想象力。ZBrush软件是世界上第一个让艺术家感到无约束自由创作的3D设计工具！它的出现完全颠覆了过去传统三维设计工具的工作模式，解放了艺术家们的双手和思维，告别过去那种依靠鼠标和参数来笨拙创作的模式，完全尊重设计师的创作灵感和传统工作习惯。
Autodesk Maya是美国Autodesk公司出品的世界顶级的三维动画软件，应用对象是专业的影视广告，角色动画，电影特技等。Maya功能完善，工作灵活，易学易用，制作效率极高，渲染真实感极强，是电影级别的高端制作软件。Maya声名显赫，是制作者梦寐以求的制作工具，掌握了Maya，会极大的提高制作效率和品质，调节出仿真的角色动画，渲染出电影一般的真实效果，向世界顶级动画师迈进。Maya 集成了Alias、Wavefront 最先进的动画及数字效果技术。它不仅包括一般三维和视觉效果制作的功能，而且还与最先进的建模、数字化布料模拟、毛发渲染、运动匹配技术相结合。Maya 可在Windows NT与 SGI IRIX 操作系统上运行。在目前市场上用来进行数字和三维制作的工具中，Maya 是首选解决方案。
Maya参与制作的电影有：法国国宝级艺术家Jean Giraud，他原创的影片有《第五元素》、《异形》、《星战》等，并参与制作了《沙丘魔堡》、《深渊》等经典科幻电影；导演Glenn Chaika，著名动画片导演，曾在迪斯尼担任《小美人鱼》的动画师，并执导《拇指仙童历险记》、《花木兰II》等影片；模型监制Wayne Kennedy是曾参与过《隐形人》、《星球大战》、《龙卷风》、《黑衣人》、《木乃伊》的模型师；动画监制Bob Koch和Kelvin Lee是担任《 玩具总动员》、《精灵鼠小弟》等影片的资深动画师；特效指导Manny Wong曾担任《后天》的特效总监，并参与制作了《狂莽之灾I》、《星河战舰》、《巨蟒》、《魔女游戏》等影片。
Substance Designer是Substance贴图工具产品系列之一，它可以帮助美术师高效地创建并且重复应用贴图。Substance Designer是首款能够混合及应用位图, 矢量图和其他元素的专业贴图工具，使用它能够制作复杂的贴图。
用Substance Designer制作的贴图具有许多传统位图不具备的优势。后者相对静止且用线性方式制作，而用Substance Designer制作的贴图更具活力，在制作的每个阶段都可以被高度的自定义。
