### ZBrushCore and ZBrush

At its heart, **ZBrushCore** is the same as the world-class and industry-famous **ZBrush**. If you decide to upgrade to the full version, everything you’ve learned in ZBrushCore can be applied directly to ZBrush.

**Notice**

Important note: Only content created in ZBrushCore can be opened by ZBrushCore. ZBrushCore will not open ZBrush files. ZBrush is able to open ZBrushCore files.
