3D editors Autodesk 3ds Max and ZBrush are used for 3D modeling and animation. Autodesk 3ds Max uses polygonal modeling and has tools for animation and scenes. ZBrush focuses on painting, sculpting, and converting high poly models to low poly with precision tools for high detail models and textures. Both are used for 3D modeling in movies and games, with 3ds Max providing animation capabilities and ZBrush specialized for sculpting details.
