[invertedNormal]

hooray!

thnx again Pixo team :D

[wasco]

Awesome! Thanks! If possible, can you please provide more detailed info on the vision of the download center? I was just wondering if it is only for official Pixologic plugins and models or will it include any content from the user community (materials, alphas, etc.). As a habitual ZBrushCentral downloader, I've always been looking for a central repository with some shelf life. At any rate, it's cool. Thanks again.

[Jamez]

Sweet.:cool:

[brettSinclair]

Nice! Now I know what i'v been missing out on :D.

[3dmaya]

It's very amazing,Thank you..

[dustbin1_uk]

What the....!!! hey there are a couple of plugins here I never noticed before! Awesome smooth importer! Why was that not top row? eh? EH? ;)

But this is great! Thanks for putting this all in one place!

[Jester]

Great!

finally:tu:

[Lone Deranger]

Wow.. Nice one. Looking good Pixologic. Now let's see those Mac download links become active. :)

Glad to see an addendum documentation for 3.12 covering all the new features.

Aurick, there is a small error in the documentation PDF though.
On page 22 it says:

3. Scale(Zoom)
New: Press ALT key and do a Right-click & drag in an empty space of the canvas or over a ZTool or painted part of the canvas.

But it should make mention of releasing ALT after the right click is invoked. Otherwise you'd get a Move/Pan ofcourse. :)
Anyway, being able to navigate with a full canvas and no visible gutter is a great addition.

[lemonnado]

Looks great!

But you forgot the location where one can download those Z skill pill's!

[djoya]

Anybody else having problems with the Documentation download for the PDF?

I get this error...


Warning: opendir(/home/pixologi/public_html/public_download/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Permission denied in /home/zadmin/public_html/public_download/download.php on line 96

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home/zadmin/public_html/public_download/download.php on line 98

No Mac downloads, no displacement or UV Map for Mac.... :confused:

[omnimorphic]

This message keeps appearing

any ideas?

But i am very excited for the free goodies...
I'm loving everything zbrush. Such a great product!

[lijiankang]

thanks you ! our Pixologic Team!!!

[stoob]

Yeah, what ever happened to the "we'll release Mac & PC stuff at the same time from now on" ?

More BS for Mac users...
Incomplete software
Missed delivery dates
Empty promises

How about Mac Users get a 50% discount/refund

seems reasonable to me, as we don't get the same product, support, or respect... yet we PAID the same price.

:mad:

[MoonChild]

I was so excited and couldn't wait to get home to try the new turntable plug-in and read the new documentation. I'm getting the same error message. It's about 5:30pm pst. :(

[industripop]

can't get the Alpha and Textures Loader for Mac. Error window comes up. Maybe they're moving everything to another directory?

[aurick]

can't get the Alpha and Textures Loader for Mac. Error window comes up. Maybe they're moving everything to another directory?I just did a test and was able to download the file without difficulty.

[omnimorphic]

The links are working now thanks!
Zbrush is ill!
please get the other apps up for the mac!
PEACE!

[MotleyPete]

First thought "yay", second thought "Doh!"

Mac user, you see...

[epoclaen]

I have no trouble with downloading the plugins but all of the 3D Models and Ztools give me an Address Not Found error, point to the http://download.pixologic01.com/zmodels/ directory to grab the .zip files.

I tried in both FireFox v3.0.4 and in IE v6.0.2900

HDRenderAll (showthread.php?t=46054) is now available for 3.12 Mac

Be sure to visit the Download Center (http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/downloadcenter/zplugins/) for these newest offerings!

[Captain Sensible]

Cool. Slowly but surely we are getting there :D

Still looking forward to 32-bit displacement on mac. Although with the current displacement problem I'm getting into normal mapping which I never used before. So it depends on how you look at it...

Thanks Aurick!

[industripop]

ehhhh. still noting here yet i actually use. hoping for Zapplink for christmas!

[sclptr]

How is 3.5 looking, will we be seeing it this xmass?

You just made milk come out of my nose.

[Lone Deranger]

Aah.. another Mac update. TransposeMaster this time. Good to see the Mac plugins becoming available. Thanks Pix&Marcus! Keep 'em coming. :D

Now to find some free time to play around with this..... :confused:

[duchamp2099]

Yeah! finally useful scripts :rolleyes:

[China Dave]

Cool, thanks for these new goodies.

[Roadie]

Downloaded the Mac version of transpose master and it doesn't seem to work. I hit the T pose button and it made an intermediate mesh, but the subtools don't move with the base mesh. Its not truly a single mesh. Also the tutorial movies won't play. I keep getting an error message when I try to download them.

Roadie,
We're looking into the problem with the video, thank you.

On using the TPose mesh: you will need to mask areas so as to use Transpose effectively. The best way to do this is to use Lasso masking.

[bLawless]

What I use most is the change draw size.
For this I use the front button on my stylus/pen with my right hand.
My left hand is busy constantly with the lower left side of the keyboard - shift to smooth, alt to subtracting material vs adding, control to mask, etc.

My left wrist is firmly planted to keep my fingers accurate. The 's' key is too far for my own index finger to reach to change the draw size. I'll keep using the front button of my pen.

Just my two cents.

[Roadie]

Works like a charm! Thanks a million!

[Pale-Face]

is it just me .. or are all the download links broken..... transpose master broken and the first 2 human models were broken but I was able to download the human body models by removing the 01 in the first part of the url...

[kookookrayzy]

Just in case anyone else thinks they're going crazy, it's not just you; I am also unable to download any of the Mac links; neither the 3.12 documentation, nor the Transpose Master or other currently "available" plugins.
Looking forward to them though!
Is there another download link somewhere?
Thanks!

[kannonbal]

i am also finding all of the links not working.

[aurick]

Some work was being done server-side. Everything is back up now. Thanks!

[kookookrayzy]

Thanks, the links all worked for me this time. Can't wait to use Transpose Master!

[aurick]

SubTool Master for Mac has now been added. You can read more about it here (http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=66035).

[Kerwin]

And there was much yayness! :D

[Lone Deranger]

Thanks for the Xmas present Pixologic! Good to finally have SubToolMaster. :D

[Cometsoft]

Great Thanks, that's an important one! Glad to see things are still moving.

[maxgamer]

Will there be a ZMapper for the Mac?

[bLawless]

I was really missing subtool master. Thanks so much!

[praxxis]

I am having trouble getting any plugins to work in ZBrush on my Mac at all! :cry:
I unzipped SubTool Master to my ZStartup/Zplugs folder but I don't even get the Sub Tool Master menu item to show up in the Zplugin tab. I tried the same for Transpose master but got nothing. I must be doing something wrong. Could someone help me out?

Praxxis

[Kerwin]

You may be putting the whole folder into your plugins (Zstartup/Zplugs) folder. Be sure to be just the contents of the folder with the .zsc file into your Zplugs folder. The .zsc must not be enclosed by another folder but be in the Zplugs folder. Many of the plugins also have a xxxxData folder--this needs to be in the Zplugs folder as well and should not be enclosed inside another folder.

HTH,
-K

[praxxis]

Kerwin m'man! You are a lifesaver! I knew it was something simple. I just could not figure out what. I just remember reading that I needed to unzip the file to my Zplugs folder keeping the file structure intact. When I did it would create a folder and place the zip contents in that so I did not want to mess with it. Now thanks to you I can finally use these cool plugins on my mac!
Thanks again!

[AVTPro]

Hi I really need ZappLink and Zmapper for Mac please. Thank you.

[cannedmushrooms]

Any update on those two plugins?

[tapihritsa]
