RadialZ - Radial brush menus for ZBrush

RadialZ is a floating radial brush picker for ZBrush. Press a hotkey, hover a brush, release. No more digging through palettes or scrolling lists to find the brush you need. Your brushes appear right at your cursor, organised exactly the way you work.

I built RadialZ for my own ZBrush workflow. It started as something I just needed to exist, and after a long time using it and refining it, I'm finally making it available. If you take your ZBrush workflow seriously, I think you're going to love it.

What RadialZ does:

• Radial brush menus triggered by a hotkey, right where your cursor is
• Unlimited custom menus → build one per workflow, one per project stage, however you think
• Child slots → nest up to 3 brushes inside a single slot
• Mix brushes and shortcuts → put ZBrush shortcuts and brushes in the same menu
• Floating brush library → the most convenient way to manage a large collection. Search, filter, favourite, and pin it open while you test brushes directly in ZBrush
• Auto-scanning library → RadialZ scans your full brush collection including custom, VDM and IMM brushes. Install new brushes and a quick re-sync picks them up
• Fully customisable → slot count, icon size, custom icons, text-only mode, circular or rectangular layouts
• Simple installer → wires RadialZ to ZBrush automatically, no scripting required
• Auto-updates → new versions delivered automatically

What you get:

• RadialZ application (Windows)
• ZBrush Bridge plugin (comes in the app and installs automatically)
• Short reference video for installation
• All v1.x updates included

IMPORTANT:

After checkout, you'll receive an email containing your activation key. Paste it into the first window that appears when you finish installing RadialZ (activation window). Make sure you check your spam folder in case it lands there.

RadialZ requires ZBrush 2026 (the September 2025 release with Python support) on Windows. Earlier versions of ZBrush are not supported. RadialZ is Windows only, there is no Mac version at this time.
