What is a ZBP file?

ZBP files mostly belong to ZBrush. ZBrush Brush Preset files (ZBP) are used exclusively by Pixologic's ZBrush. They store the settings for digital sculpting brushes.
These files contain data that defines brush attributes such as shape, alpha, and dynamics. They are not meant to be edited outside of ZBrush and are loaded directly through the software's brush menu.

Artists can save and load .ZBP files to quickly access and reuse their preferred brush configurations, streamlining their workflow and ensuring consistency across projects.

This file format is classified as 3D Graphics, Digital Art.
