The headline feature for Mac users was the introduction of native support for Apple’s M1 and M2 chips. Prior to this, ZBrush ran on Macs via Rosetta 2 translation, which worked but didn't fully utilize the hardware's potential.
One of the most unexpectedly popular features in the zbrush 202208 new release is the introduction of the "Boss Key" functionality.
What it does:
Version 2022.0.8 includes targeted fixes for the Bevel Pro plugin (especially when working with high-poly or dense geometry) and resolves several crashes related to Undo history and Dynamics.
Why it's a "solid feature":
Release Date: August 2022 Primary Focus: Redshift Integration, UI Modernization, and Workflow Efficiency.
This update subtly introduces the Maxon One ecosystem.
