ZBrush 2021.1 Notes

ADDED
Preferences >> Tablet >> Tablet Driver API to determine how ZBrush works with Windows Ink, affecting performance when using a tablet on Windows.  If you experience lag issues when interacting with models, trying one of these other settings should resolve them.

• There are 3 options:
  • WinTab (default mode): Will not handle Windows Ink. This will operate like it did in ZBrush 2019.
  • Stylus: Handles Windows Ink the same way it did in 2020.1.4.
  • WM_Event: Handles Windows Ink the same way it did in 2021.
