ZBrush 3.5 R3 is now available for download! Please see the following for details:

Your ZBrush 3.5 serial number will not change, nor will you be setting up a new Cleverbridge or Support account. This update simply replaces the downloadable file that is associated with your account.
If you have a CURRENT download link from Cleverbridge, clicking that link will now deliver the R3 version automatically. You can begin downloading immediately. The download link is in the same email that contains your serial number for version 3.5.
If your download link from Cleverbridge has expired, you will need to wait for them to send you a new link. Due to server capacity, they cannot send these links to everyone simultaneously. It may take a few days to get all the links sent out. Please do not contact Support to request that your download link be renewed.
The upgrade emails will be sent to the address that is on record from your purchase of or upgrade to ZBrush 3.5. In other words, the same email address that your ZBrush 3.5 serial number was sent to. Please be sure to keep an eye on your spam filter or junk mail folder, as we know from experience that some of those can prevent the email from reaching your inbox. Only contact Support if you have not received the upgrade by Monday, November 30.

If you are a PC user who has not yet upgraded to version 3.5, please go to https://support.pixologic.com (https://support.pixologic.com/). Register on the Support site, then create a ticket in the Upgrade category. Be sure to include as much info as you can concerning your ZBrush license purchase so that we can locate your account and upgrade you as quickly as possible.

Note for Mac users: Now that ZBrush 3.5 has been finalized for the PC, we will continue updating ZBrush for the Mac OS X platform.


:::::: Documentation for ZBrush 3.5 is now available online in the ZBrush Wiki (http://www.pixologic.com/docs). Also, if you do a Default installation of R3 you will find a New Features PDF as well as a Tutorials PDF to get you started.

[kendo]

And the good stuff just keeps coming, bravo pixologic

[undoz]

Wow! I wasn't expecting this. I'm amazed once again by how much creativity goes into these tools.
Looking forward to the group masking, polish brush and remesh, but the best news is that the plugins are back!
Thanks guys!

[WoodyLWG]

PLUG INS!!! YEAH!!!

:D Zapplink -yay! thnx guys - I like toys like that :D

[maxgamer]

Wow!

Wow!

Wow!

btw...where's my Mac version. This sucks watching PC upgrade videos.

3 versions of 3.5 and no version for Mac. Not fair.

[mikezoo]

Super awesome! thanks guys!

Anybody know if this is going to address the horrible import/export scale issue's that 3.5 seems to have?:qu:

[artstorm]

Wow, brilliant!
Awesome update! Thanks pixologic! :D

[spaz8]

Bring on the OSX version! Good to hear development can focus on bringing the Mac version back to parity again.

[skullbeast]

Mac, oh is it September already?

[cornelius]

:tu::tu::tu::tu::tu::tu::tu::tu::tu:fantastic:tu:: tu::tu::tu::tu::tu::tu:

[Behrooz Roozbeh]

Impressive new features!

[JayCally]

Uh, MAC version? September came and went, so were is 3.5 for MAC. Windows users get to experience the awesomeness of 3.5 but what about us. Come on, I can't wait! Pixologic, it would be a great Christmas present.

[jaystein777]

I am utterly dumbfounded. Pixo has read our minds......All Hail Pixologic.

[womball]

Finally! Now I can export out my models into x normal! I hope the vista problem has been resolved, where you had to enter the program as an admin, or face the program hanging up on you indefintely.

Also can you reset skeletons from a pose without having to rebind it?

[Morbius]

Uh, MAC version? September came and went, so were is 3.5 for MAC. Windows users get to experience the awesomeness of 3.5 but what about us. Come on, I can't wait! Pixologic, it would be a great Christmas present.
Yes PIXO! Where's the Mac version!!??

I think all of us Mac folks have been WAY MORE than a little bit patient with your constant promises. I've been keeping my mouth shut, and waiting very, very patiently, and even extolling the virtues of ZBrush, and Pixo's 'seeming' new and better treatment of the Mac community - but it seems I have been proven wrong once again.

'Windows, Windows, Windows' is ALL we're seeing. Where's the Mac v3.5?? And if you're NOT going to 'get around to it', just SAY SO, so we can all move on.

Enough is enough. We'd like AT LEAST a little freakin' communication!!!!!!
Comprendé?? Savvy??

And, after seeing yet another Windows release, I've just emailed info@pixologic.com too.

I'd like an answer. Yesterday! :mad:

[Jynks]

YES!!

Man... could not have come at a better time for me as I was just about to start a new project.... GREAT

[Train22]

Is R3 working with older CPU's now without SSE2? Or is it not possible to make the new Zbrush 3.5 run on older systems too?

[Morbius]

And you know, it would be nice if all of you Windows folks would rally together with us Mac folks, and demand an answer from Pixo!

How would YOU feel if all you ever saw was Mac updates!? We're all ZBrush users here, and we SHOULD support each other!

Everyone should be bombarding Pixo, and asking for a reply! ANY COMMUNICATIONS for us Mac folks would be nice. We've been promised over and over again, 'it's coming, it's coming' for months and months, and still no updates, or even the smallest little communication about when it's coming!

Write them:

info@pixologic.com

or the COO, Jaime LaBelle

jaime@pixologic.com

or Public Relations

pr@pixologic.com

Everyone PLEASE join together, and email these people! All we're asking for is a little communication. When is v3.5 for Mac coming??

Rally together folks!!

[Morbius]

And they ARE watching this forum!

I intend to keep posting here until I get AN ANSWER from Pixo.

Tomorrow morning, I"m going to start CALLING on the PHONE until I get an answer from someone at Pixo.

I'll make it easy for ya! Here's their phone number:

1-888-748-5967 Toll Free!!

All Mac folks - and anyone else that cares - call them!!

Join me, people. Let's get an answer!

[Clappy71]

Looks awesome! I really hope there are some updated help files for all this new stuff.:tu::)

[Morbius]

This note on the bottom of the R3 for Windows announcement in this thread:

"Note for Mac users: Now that ZBrush 3.5 has been finalized, we will continue updating ZBrush for the Mac OS X platform."

It has???? Then where is it????

Continue updating?? You haven't updated ANYTHING for the Mac since 3.2!!

If 3.5 has been 'finalized', why don't we have it?

[bicc39]

Since the most recent version has not worked since the day is was introduced, pardon my nonclicking of heels.
Will not install until zbrush 4 ( if it were not for the Maya plugin would
not even care about that.)
Best of luck to the rest of you (sincerely)

[Morbius]

Sorry to hear that, bicc39!

ZBrush4?? Good luck. We can't even get 3.5! We'll colonize Mars before Pixo ever releases v4!

Wouldn't be so bad if they'd just communicate and let us know what's going on, but 'certain' people at Pixo are just as haughty and arrogant as ever, as I've said on occasions before.

They know they have the #1 3D sculpting software in the world, and to hell with the customer, we'll do as we please.

It's pure arrogance. All this chest-thumping about "v3.5 and v4 will be a free update to all registered users" is just a bunch of showmanship. 'Look how generous we are to you!"

Sounds good on the forum, but it doesn't mean a damned thing if they don't release the software! Mac folks were promised 3.5 MONTHS ago, and still all we ever see is Windows updates! 3 OF THEM, and still no 3.5 for Mac.

[AgentSmith]

"Since the most recent version has not worked since the day is was introduced..."

Really? I can't NOT get my ZBrush 3.5 version to work perfectly! It's been awesome so far and now with this Release 3....get ready to quote me Pixologic....

...Holy F$*king S%$t!!! ;oD

You rock Pixologic. You. Rock.

[MASTERSHOKHAN]

:D They just gave us Booleans!!! And I can poke holes in my mesh now!!

[Daemon3d]

wow! :D

[Morbius]

Congratulations, guys! I'm glad everything is going well for you!! :D Obviously, Windows users....

You wouldn't be so happy if you were on a Mac, waiting for months without ANY updates, and without even a single reply to the many Mac people who have asked a simple question, and been ignored, over and over again....

All they would have to say is 'Sorry Mac folks, but we've hit some snags, and it'll be a couple months before we get 3.5 out'. But they don't. They don't, and WON'T say ANYTHING.

You think Pixo rocks? Good for you. ZBrush rocks. Pixo, and their idea of 'customer service', is very, very poor; and rocketh not.

[Teyon]

Very cool guys. Looking forward tot he release.

[DAnconia]

I Love You!

[jamespthornton]

Oooohhh, looking good!

Liking the new list of brush controls! Don't you know I just spent hours clicking and dragging scales individually on a project last month!

Polish brush looks sick, the new feature list is packed, and the pen tools look perfect for an old airbrush artist like me! I could tell they could paint contrasting light against dark in a single stroke, which is a really cool idea!

Keep up the good work guys! :tu: :cool: :tu:

p.s. - I saw "added brush control for faster or slower sampling"
I assume that regarding brush spacing as well, right? :D

[tsitrana]

But I'm not done playing with ver. 3.5r2? Oh well more late nights for me!

Thanks Pixo...you ROCK!

[3dj]

I really don't understand? What ever happened to the idea that they were working on a long time ago. The one that would allow them to release updates to both Windows and Mac users? Has this been discarded? WTF? When will they learn to to what they say they'll do. Damn it. Why don't they charge for an update on occasion if it would help development out.

[Jon DP]

I think it has. My understanding is that from here on out. They do Windows first and then Mac second as normal procedure. I wonder if I transfer my license to windows :(

[Morbius]

Beats the heck outta me, 3dj!

They've released 3 revisions to 3.5 for Windows now, and still haven't even got 3.5 for Mac out yet.

The Mac community has been too quiet and passive, and they're just ignoring us, as usual....

[Morbius]

Yes, Jon, that's what I understood as well, but....

They haven't even released 3.5 for Mac yet, and continue to release Windows updates in the meantime! What's with that!!??

[cookepuss]

I'm getting the sneaky feeling that PC users won't see GoZ until v4, which is disappointing. Still 3.5r3 looks good.

Let the ritual stalking of the e-mail begin.

[jaystein777]

Let the ritual stalking of the e-mail begin.
I have that same feeling. We can still get the results that GoZ would offer, just slower. But if it's all the same, I bought a second monitor just in anticipation for GoZ, that was back in august....

[Morbius]

Is anyone else seeing my posts??

My posts are only visible to me if I am logged in, and when I am logged out, my posts disappear.

Am I being erased by 'the Moderators'?

Can't answer a simple question, Pixo; or just don't like the heat?

[askue]

THIS IS SOOO COOL!

YES! i LOVE BEING A PC

[Xsmoke]

Wow...Nice update...
Thanks again!

[Jelmer]

Holy ****.....

[Jynks]

Also... can you please tell us if this Boolean option will retain all sub-D levels? Seam a perfect way to sculpt and then for creating game meshes that need to be single objects... just Boolean all together... but the images and the demo in the video do not seam to say anything about retaining low sub-d levels.... dose the new ZLT have them after the Boolean operation?

[battery555]

November end soon and no MAC yet??? Really it's painful just to see and not touch :mad: :mad: :mad:

[becker19]

Alright that looks so amazing, but seriously when are we gonna see 3.5 for mac, I just want to zsketch:)

[jamespthornton]

I bought a second monitor just in anticipation for GoZ, that was back in august....
While that's kind of a cool idea so you can see it like the video shows, you won't need it really. When you GoZ, it switches to the desired app automatically. A second display comes in handy for way more things than having an inactive software just sitting there. You'll likely find yourself using it for movies, internet, reference images, etc. instead ;)

Don't be jealous, though, look at all the new stuff you got!!! There's nothing GoZ does for you that you can't do on your own. It just does it really fast! I'm the one who's jealous!!!

Honestly though, I'm thrilled to see the software advancing like this. Gettin' spicier each time :tu:

[fidget]

still no Mac version :(

[maxmax20093d]

this is so GREAT - OMG cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!

[Znub]

This is exactly how Pixo should do releases. Not say a word then surprise us. Instead of giving us deadlines and constantly delaying it.

[askue]

Where is GoZ

GO GO GO PC!

[varek3d]

hmmm still no GoZ?? that's too bad... That I have extreme respect for Zbrush and I like the new feature it's bringing to their fans, I'm still hoping for GoZ... I would even say I would exchange these features for GoZ first. I am however going to remain skeptical about the new features till I actually get to try it. I've gotten my hopes up before :(

Keep up the good stuff Pixologic, my hats off to you!

[maxmax20093d]

I think GoZ is going out in ZB4

[nezumi]

Hi, I'm PC and I will have sweet new Zbrush soon. :lol:

[maxmax20093d]

Just checked the forum on the off chance and saw that tomorrow I get (maybe) 3.5r3 - SOOOOO HAPPY!

Happy - so Happy!

[Yruama]

well I do admit every feature added are sweet but Come on I was waiting for a Mac 3.5 version around the corner since september but Nooo!! Windows have to have a third release of the 3.5 instead, that's suck. how much longer to wait for?!?! (>.<)

[Yruama]

hey don't get too happy maxmax20093d when they say release tomorrow to me it's sounds like it's not exactly what they mean.
Remember the release late september 3.5v for Mac, well we are still waiting.

[maxmax20093d]

@Yruama

i'll keep my fingers, toes and legs crossed

[Paint Guy]

Some really good features here, but being mac user and no 3.5 is leaving us mac users way behind on the learning curve again!! what with ZSpheres II and all of the new brushes and tools it will be a "LOT" of work to have to learn it all at once but I suppose we won't see anything until January or February now. :mad: What happened to the promise that Pixologic would release Windows and Mac versions at the same time!

[cmoffitt]

Woohoo! You guys rock!

[Ronbo13]

This is exactly how Pixo should do releases. Not say a word then surprise us. Instead of giving us deadlines and constantly delaying it.

Depends on your point of view, I suppose. For Mac users, it's exactly the opposite. All they do is talk about releases and then delay — except for those times when they become eerily silent on the matter for long periods (like now, for instance). It would be different if the Mac version cost less. But for the same original investment, we see 3.5r1 and 3.5r2 come and go; these will never be Mac releases. We now have 3.5r3, and who knows if that'll be for Mac. Sure isn't now. Even if it comes to the Mac, the Windows users get 3 releases to the Mac's 1. And that's assuming it comes to the Mac at all.

[maxmax20093d]

Yes but Mac as GoZ - I would LOVE that for PC!!!

but sure Mac version needs to come :) I sure it will - LONG LIVE ZBRUSH!

[askue]

You should get a PC :D

all the best stuff is on PC, including 3rd party developments and scripts and oh so much more. i just built a new rig for 1500 and its got 12 gigs of ram and an i7 and i am rocking the new Zbrush. i love my PC.

[Jorge Lescale]

oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!,oh my god!, :tu: :cool: :D

thank you!!

[roger]

This looks very cool!
Thanks Pixologic! :tu:

[KonginChains]

Thanks for all of this but despite the greatness of the upcoming r3, i'd like to know if the list of quirks have been resolved in this upcoming release. In 3.1 it was the quick menu popup freeze, which thankfully was fixed in 3.5 r2, but now a new quirk just as common and predictable to happen is the use of the lazy mouse brush. I can't stress enough how much work i've lost due using the lazy mouse feature. I am now scared of using such a useful tool.

Asides from this, i'd like to know if these have been addressed as well:

- deleting part of mesh rids all layers and you lose a tad bit of detail, disables adding a layer.
- subdividing part of mesh rids all layers, disables adding layers.
- equalize surface area rids all layers, disables adding layers
- reimporting mesh onto new lv1 with new polygrouping or making model assymetrical may malfunction smartresym tools(like causing the resymmetry on the otherside to ruin and blow up some vertices out of the mesh).
- using insertmesh on subtool disables reconstruct subd
- auto recovery doesn't save accessible files under the folder. ticking it on slows down performance of zbrush.

[samar vijay]

perfect

[SolidSnakexxx]

Super Awesome!!!!

[andrei.szasz]

GOD this is so cool !!!

[oR_Creeper]

Woot! God Bless the folks at Pixologic! Its like Christmas a month early. :D

[fogr]

!!!!!!! wow !!!!!!!

thanks

[Marc_el.nl]

Cool Pixologic!

I was waiting for the plug ins. I hope some r2 bugs are killed also.

[Vancross]

And here I thought that they had been working on the Mac version of 3.5 all this time. And I remember long ago that the mac was promised it first. I wish they would at least make a patch for the new zspheres for the mac.

So I guess it will be another few months wait to finally be told that version 4 is out for windows and the mac version will be following shortly. lol

[MotleyPete]

Woahhh! Looks AMAZING!

Although, I'm a Mac user, so I'm going to go and have a little cry now ;)

[wizatrix]

Will look cool on my Mac.

[SixxPixels]

Plug-ins at last! This is all great news and quite a surprise... Is there going to be any documentation released with R3? Brief summary of all the new features maybe something like what you had with 3.1. That would help... in exploring all of the new features... this is really great.

Thanks again guys -

[dk79]

Instead of 3.5 for the mac I can settle with Zapplink for mac.
Common Pixologic seriously???
The mac version is crippled in so many ways it's not even funny.

Thank God I'm not using the mac version of Zbrush professionally.

[dk79]

her few months wait to finally be told that version 4 is out for windows and the mac version will be following shortly. lol

which is actually going to be several months maybe even a year after that...

[robo3687]

i knew i held off on getting r2 for a reason....

[Aumakua]

Awesome news! Thank you Pixologic!

[brettSinclair]

Rock on :tu:

[chris-carter]

Thanks Guys! I've been needing these plugins for a while! You're awesome!

[miecz]

This is simply amazing! Do you know how one can download the update? It's released already, right?

[Jester]

What to say...
OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY!

[Plakkie]

You guys just KEEP GOING!! I'm reading a book on 'flow' at the moment and I wondered at the fact that Zbrush gets you in the flow so easily. Love your mentality, and the whole thought behind the product. :tu: :tu: :tu: :cool:

[seanforsyth]

Nice to get new features, but I find it surprising that so much effort is being spent on new sculpting brushes. I mean, if there's anything ZBrush has plenty of, it's sculpting brushes (yeah, for mechanical stuff it was lacking, but not THAT much). What about more useful stuff for real world production like texture layers?

It appears I'm not the only one who would gladly swap all of these new features for GoZ. Was hugely disappointed not to see it make an appearance in this release.

Still, always good to get a free update. Cheers Pixo!

[PeterDackers]

Wonderful! Hope to see the download link quickly in my mailbox. :)

[axel]

:d

[Vancross]

Sorry Axel, your money was just a donation to help make the windows version stronger. :lol:

[ministerart@hotmail.co.uk]

Awww crap...not another release...it took me two weeks to get the last sucker working.

Just hope that cleverbridge have taken on board the tens of thousands of whinning e mails (About 5,000 from me) and they have updated records.

right...more coffee....

[dustbin1_uk]

Nice one guys, I was waiting for the plugins to start working again, now I can play some more.

[pluMmet]

It's all great great news but can Poly Groups be used to retopologize?

[bryzol]

You are crazy guys! I love you!

[marcus_civis]

But when will we have the brush size kept relative to the model instead of canvas?

The new version of the Adjust DrawSize plugin included with R3 has the ability to store and recall brush size relative to the model.

[Captain Sensible]

Briliant super awesome!... but what's happened to unified releases?! :rolleyes:

Also with the addition of ZApplink3, does that mean proper layered texture painting from within ZBrush isn't on the horizon?

[Spyndel]

*Watches Video*

Did I go to sleep and wake up in 2012? Thats some pretty new fangled stuff there. Not to mention...a new major release from Pixo without half a year gone by.

Hot damn.

*refreshes download link*

[pluMmet]

It's all great great news but can Poly Groups be used to retopologize?If I could dial up and down the mesh density in the poly groups it would rock!

It would need some amount of fall off for extreme density changes.

Retopo would be lightning fast and perfect.

[Nemoid]

Amazing stuff !
About Mac, I think they will work on it. Just, it seems they can't release both Mac and PC versions at the very same time...even if mac is better supported by many 3D apps now, i think PC is still privileged to make 3D, not only from Pixologic.

[Magnus3D]

Excellent new release Pixo, it all looks great and very useful! :)
Keep up the good work guys.

I had lost my old login info to my account so i had to create a new one :/ oh well..

[Santis]

Ohh, I think Im in love :o
Thank you once again pixologic!:tu:

Can't wait to get 3.5r3 loaded! Thanks for the plugins (havent had GoZ so i wont miss it til its given and taken away...but i cant wait to check it out with Modo!!)

[swifth]

No GoZ? what a waste of time checking pixo every day. i guess ill forget about a new zbrush until GoZ is functional. Good old 3.1Granted the quickswapbutton from zb to your preferred 3d app is missing but you can still export out your mesh, change the topology completely and bring it back into zb without any problems :)

[jaystein777]

So I tried the link from the Cleverbridge and it still has R2. So I take it the download isn't ready?

I've read the little paragraph a few times and I gather Pixo meant that when it's ready they will change the announcement?
I'm not awake yet......

[Sickness]

I usually hate whining on internet forums but seriously: 3.5 for Windows and STILL no Mac Version? I feel really screwed. :cry:

[ello]

you could use bootcamp to run the windows version, right??

and once again, looking at the feature list i thank you Pixologic!
(for example New PolyPaint modes: Standard, Colorize, Multiply, Lighten, and Darken.)

wheres the mail :)

[jaystein777]

It's well known that OSx is harder to develop for due to Apples drastic changes with their OS's and remember you guys have the feature that most people want most, GoZ. I personally can wait for GoZ, but considering that most people don't have R3 yet, there's nothing we can do BUT wait.

[ChrRambow]

Great!

But .. when i try to use the link on my cleverbridge mail it says that the download is not available anymore oO

The old cleverbridge mail from 11.sept.2009 also says that the link is available due to 25.sept.2009.

Do you got any info on this?

[Dman3d]

Great all the plugs that got shanked with the prev are back, now, where is Z4?

Whoa! I stand corrected, those are some bad-ass additions too!

:D

[licaon3d]

I think it's great the new version, but when will the Mac version, that and cash it has the same price but since 3.5 came out the windows have not seen the mac and you are on the R3, I think the mac We are kidding :mad::mad::mad::(:(

[alexmarik]

Yeah!!

[ZeiTGeist]

All this work... - and again for free! :cool:
The amount of innovation coming from you guys is really amazing!
There some tools I wish I would have had a long time ago and then there are some tools I never even dreamt of :)

Cheers Pixologic!

[jaystein777]

Great!

I got the same, so PIXO isn't ready yet. This is a busy week for most of us anyway, I just hope to be able to crack it open on T-Day.

[BazC]

If you have a Windows ZB license, sure! Provided you have an Intel Mac (most Mac users these days) and a copy of a Windows OS. I suspect the number of people with all three is vanishingly small though.

[Stephenrminkin]

Finally their is a form of booleans in zbrush! This will defiantly be a valuable tool when creating hard surface shapes.

[haamu]

I feel mac users' pain, but I also don't think they've been missing all that much yet. I personally still use 3.1 because of all the bugs and horribly implemented new features in 3.5, not to mention the myriad missing features that are only now being added (still can't see zmapper or equivalent goz gimmick). Lets hope this one is a bit better, and that they would start living up to their promises soon.

[Mohammed_Esse]

Thats splendid Zbrush is more lovely than my gf :D

[spaz8]

Actually unless you want to buy a 2nd Win license of Zbrush on top of your Mac one Pixologic is not doing what they did with 3.1. Giving the mac users temp windows installs to run in the time being on their intel macs. I had to explicitly choose OSX by support when I was initially getting the WIN download links for 3.5 back in September, or surrender my mac license. At the time I had hoped that meant the wait would be short.

To be fair, 3.2 (osx) I think was a more solid release than 3.5 r1, and r2. With R3 3.5 is now production ready.

[holto]

I love my zBrush, and I really want these new features, but this really doesn't surprise me at this point with the Mac version.

The thing that kinda irks me the most is how they parlayed all the blame on 3 being so late was that they were redoing it in a way so that from now on there could be SIMULTANEOUS WINDOWS AND MAC RELEASES.

SO much for that. Guess I'll get it sometime next fall. We won't see 3.5 I'm pretty sure at this point. 4 will more than likely release for windows in late december early january and then there will be a whole new round of reasons the mac version isn't out yet.

I truly appreciate the upgrades and such being free pixo, but jesus I'd pay you a 50 dollar upgrade fee just to have them released ANYWHERE near the stated timeframes.

Coming from a traditional sculpting background I"m pretty excited about zSpheres2 and the hard surface modeling.

[Intervain]

[thedust]

Thanks, Pixologic, for new features and corrections (the clay brush used with symmetry on).

For the sake of curiosity, have we have to wait the cleverbridge email to know when/where download own copy as we did in past? Thanks.

[jamespthornton]

you could use bootcamp to run the windows version, right??

Mac users will not be getting temporary windows licenses for 3.5 as we did with 3.1. We would have to buy a windows license.

That said, I agree that 3.2 has been production ready and rock solid for quite some time now. Meanwhile, I've heard so many windows users say they are using 3.1 in production instead, whether it be due to bugs or missing features in 3.5. That's been for months. So I think this was a necessary release for windows, even though I'm green with envy for these new features! At least we will all have something more powerful than 3.1 that is fully usable in real production. I'm sure bouncing around between versions has been a pain since the ztl's aren't backward compatible.

Now THAT said, screw the holiday, forget your families, I want you ALL workin' around the clock until I have my fully featured mac v3.5 or v4 up and running! Then, of course, you may sleep. Except for aurick, paul, and marcus, they have to answer my dumb questions. Hope you all like coffee. :cool:

[hyper1]

This is really amazing stuff. As stated by others, the amount of new things to use or try is overwhelming, but sincerely appreciated. I'm thinking that the need for several full time Pixologic instructors will needed just to keep us users in the flow. The prospect of having all of the 3.1 plugins will be a god send.
Again thanks for all of your hard work and inspiration,
Gary

[ineversleep]

what a great surprise! thx

[jaystein777]

Thanks, Pixologic, for new features and corrections (the clay brush used with symmetry on).

For the sake of curiosity, have we have to wait the cleverbridge email to know when/where download own copy as we did in past? Thanks.

Supposedly those of us that already own a license will be able to use our existing link from the original purchase email, but it doesn't seem to work yet. At least it didn't when I left home an hour ago.

[Kabe]

Looks again like a quite solid release with great new features.

My only issue: The Mac version is quite overdue now, and knowing that you worked on that release the last weeks it looks like we may not even get it for christmas. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

As great as it is that I got all my updates for free... it's simply sad seeing all the new features for months now without much hope to use them.

So, please Santa... (we promise to be neat to old ladies this winter)

Kabe

[jaystein777]

...all of you Mac users, you know Pixo won't leave you hangin'.

[iatriki]

who modeled this guy?

[backusstudio]

When will there be some upgrades for the mac users? "Soon, very soon". Meaning we'll get 3.5 about the time Pixo rolls out 4.0 for the PC.

[lucaswschmidt]

they ARE leaving us hanging.

[Chokmah]

YEAH !!!:tu:

[Imhotep397]

It's a little bit annoying, but I was glad to see the Mac note at the bottom. I prefer to be updated versus being totally left in the dark while seeing multiple upgrades that I can only use when working on someone else's workstations(s)

In general it looks great and I hope that Zapplink finally makes it's way to the Mac version. (I suspect the GoZ development will have a large role in solving that Mac problem...hopefully)

[Ian Eisenberg]

I love ZBrush, I use it constantly and even spend down-time just fooling around in it.
BUT...
Having been in charge of a small software development team I can say with some certainty that Pixologic has a piss poor development cycle and is badly in need of new managers.

They should have loooong ago switched to a cross-platform development environment. This game of leap frog they are playing is foolish in todays software dev circles. There is no excuse for it... years are passing between software cycle revs and all it does is make them look stupid to one side of their user base or the other.

Also this issue with transparency is ludicrous. Get your house in order, lay out a dev cycle and get it finished as close to on time as possible. And if things are falling behind... TELL US.

This happy horse**** of surprise release is assinine. If there were a clear track record of stable, regular releases it would be one thing, but to deal with things as they have been done is quite another.

From the R3 Page:
"Note for Mac users: Now that ZBrush 3.5 has been finalized, we will continue updating ZBrush for the Mac OS X platform."

What do you think that says to a Mac user?

[Paint Guy]

You should get a PC :D all the best stuff is on PC, including 3rd party developments and scripts and oh so much more. i just built a new rig for 1500 and its got 12 gigs of ram and an i7 and i am rocking the new Zbrush. i love my PC.Buy a PC, are you kidding! I want a machine not headaches.:lol: I also have 12 GB of ram on my mac and ZBrush Rocks on the mac. BTW it's not the machine but the talent behind it?


Sorry Axel, your money was just a donation to help make the windows version stronger. :lol:That's funny.:lol: Wait, maybe not because it feels like it's the truth.:cry:


*Watches Video*Did I go to sleep and wake up in 2012? Thats some pretty new fangled stuff there. Not to mention...a new major release from Pixo without half a year gone by.You can thank 3DCoat for the faster releases on the Pixologic end. The rate at which 3DCoat is being updated (daily) has to send a bit of fear into the mind of Pixologic and they are working harder now that 3DCoat is virtually reinventing 3D sculpting on a daily basis. :) I have both 3DCoat and ZBrush and they both rock in very different ways. :)

[gelfling status]

nice video guys! some good art in there:cool:

[haamu]

ZApplink is not shown in the vid but it's stated below that all the plugins from 3.1 will be in this new update

Zapplink and all others yes, but not Zmapper. At least it isn't on the list.

[Sleet]

I think alot of Mac users are unhappy to say the least. Seriously guys, if you look at other software producers, which also produce dual platform products, such as Adobe their releases are never this out of kilter. Im sorry if Pixologic doesn't want to hear the criticism, but it's not coming out of malice, just simple observation. And, I don't want to hear any excuses about Adobe being a monster company with infinite resources. The bottom line is Pixologic is producing dual platform software...period. If your expecting Mac user's to pay the same amount then you should be offering the same product at the same time.

[Clappy71]

Zapplink and all others yes, but not Zmapper. At least it isn't on the list.Zmapper is gone for good I believe.

[Intervain]

sorry yeah I've only realised you actually said Zmapper after I wrote that :o - yeah it seems to be gone

[b33nine]

If your expecting Mac user's to pay the same amount then you should be offering the same product at the same time.


Funny how it works the opposite on the hardware end for Mac users... :D

Had to get my mac bashing in for the day haha.

Great point.

[policarpo]

Still no Mac version? What gives? Look, i'd be less upset about all of this if they would just release both platforms at the same time. Why is this such an issue for Pixologic? I can't think of any other DCC vendor out there that makes the other platform wait so freaking long for a current build.

Either change your licensing policy so my single purchase entitles me to both platforms, or release your gear on both platforms on the same friggin' day. It's 2009 for crying out loud.

Yeah...I am frustrated and want to use ZSketching on my Mac

[mikala]

One could flip that argument rant on it's head and say "Buy a PC" it's 2009 for crying out loud. Hmm buy one get one free....wow.

[aurick]

:b3: :b3: :b3: Please Note: ZBrush 3.5 R3 is not yet available for download! We will update the announcement at the beginning of this thread as soon as it has been released. Please do not contact Support inquiring about availability. Thanks!

[policarpo]

One could flip that argument rant on it's head and say "Buy a PC" it's 2009 for crying out loud. Hmm buy one get one free....wow.

I have a PC, it's called a Dual Boot Mac Pro. :)

My workflow is primarily on OSX: CS4, C4D, Modo, and since I already bought an OSX license of zB, it would be nice to use the latest tools with my specific workflow. If i had dual platform license, it wouldn't be an issue.
:tu:

Just service the platforms you build ya know. :) Heck, charge $200 more for the software if it means having versions ready on both platforms at the same time.

[Parms]

I am a Mac user too ... what annoys me is the lack of information.... just a date....All I need so far. It would at least demonstrate some kind of investment in our platform

i have also a question to Mac users: do you have some issue (freeze) with Lazy Mouse on OSX 3.2 Release ?

[fluxist8070]

This is why I have a mac and a PC.
Can't wait to use those polish brushes!

[ministerart@hotmail.co.uk]

Looking forward to the plug ins..and the polish brush...and..

for a moment today..the work on the bottom rows..the wonderful less than elitist bottoms rows...absolutely wiped the floor with the top row stuff...way to go z community.

[jamespthornton]

Either change your licensing policy so my single purchase entitles me to both platforms...
I like Luxology's approach of licensing the software to the user, not the hardware. This allows me to install modo on any computer, mac or pc. I think they're pioneering how software licensing should be across the board.

Just thought I'd mention it, as it would prevent this type of frustration (somewhat).

[SonOfWitz]

man you Pixologic guys are awesome.
can't wait.
hopefully the gap between now and a mac version, I can get a mac that will run it, and finally upgrade from v2.

[Aberrant]

Buy a PC, are you kidding! I want a machine not headaches.:lol: I also have 12 GB of ram on my mac and ZBrush Rocks on the mac. BTW it's not the machine but the talent behind it?
I wonder how much $$$ you paid to get your mac with 12 GB of ram. Probably DOUBLE what it costs for the PC equivalent. I agree with asuke about buying a PC. Not to mention how much easier it is to customize your PC's hardware.

I was once a Mac guy but once I built my first PC for a fraction of a mac AND got better performance, I will never go back. However, I don't bash Mac's and throw out sarcasm because I think my PC is superior.


The bottom line is Pixologic is producing dual platform software...period. If your expecting Mac user's to pay the same amount then you should be offering the same product at the same time.
I see no reason why the same application should cost less when it is released for mac a few months later. It is the same application right? It did cost money to produce, and took time to develop.

The delay is simply due to priorities, and people should be happy this application is even dual platform. Many Zbrush users are in game development and well.... Mac's are not for gamers.

[AVBN5000]

If your expecting Mac user's to pay the same amount then you should be offering the same product at the same time.I would guess that the 3.5 release was somewhat unexpected hence the 3 releases of it. I gathered that zbrush go would not be in any releases of Z3.5 considering it was suppose to be a feature of Z4 from the beginning as all these features were originally. Im running a pc and i would really like GoZ and I know there are a lot of Mac owners out there that would want these features pronto as well. I kinda feel like I am defending both sides here but here are some points that do stand out:

1. They did promise GoZ for Z4 but I must of missed something for them stating it would be in Z3.5

2. Its a shame that the versions dont equal each other on the dual platforms and that is something that needs to be equaled for best practice even though i know there is a lot of work that go into both.

3. They really need to have more places teaching their software. (This is probly just my opinoin coming out but I live no where near the schools that do teach it and it sucks. Yeah I know Im whinning.)

4. They should at least get the dates figured out for when things will be released. Committing to a date and then releasing it weeks later is very disappointing . ---This point is rather shallow however, the demand for this app is growing and the community needs something that is reliable. (I took a mini vacation from work for the release of 3.5 and missed it because it came out a week late which was very upsetting.)

All in all I am very excited to try this version out and I tip my hat in every regard for the tools that are being developed and given especally for free to registered users. These points are my opinoins really so take them with a grain of salt since i dont know everything that goes into developing software. I am excited about all the new features and cant wait to get GoZ so only time will tell!

[policarpo]

[SonOfWitz]

Can't answer for him, and I surely don't have that much ram.
but personally, switching to PC after 14 years of only using a mac is not something I'd even consider. Regardless of the fact that I've disliked PC's every time I've used them, I have thousands of dollars of software that runs on macs. If I were to switch, I'd have to repurchase my Adobe CS suites and tons of other stuff. And then, since I work in the print industry, I'd have serious issues when bringing work to print. I submit ads to dozens of different magazines and printing houses. 95% of them want things in macintosh format, and only in the last few years have the new PDF workflows made it easier for them to accept PC output.

Zbrush is, in their own words, aiming for artists, not specifically game developers. This was clearly much more an "illustration" program in it's initial inception. It's no secret that artists in all other mediums besides 3D CGI have traditionally gravitated towards the macintosh platform. If Pixologic is going to find artists who aren't merely steeped in the gaming world, they're going to have to keep consistant with mac versions.

I contacted Pixologic about the upcoming mac version, and they said "first we have to finalize Windows 3.5, then we finish the mac version" and that was about 2 weeks ago, and here we find them finalizing the Win3.5, and stating:



Note for Mac users: Now that ZBrush 3.5 has been finalized, we will continue updating ZBrush for the Mac OS X platform.
So I'm just gonna take Pixolator's word for it and not complain.

All that said, I agree with the comment about licensing to the buyer, not the platform. I'm not sure how practical that is from their standpoint though.

[vanden]

Wooouuuu!!!
It is necessary to wait for good guys to see if not very much

[fidget]

The whole free update thing is a nice gesture, but I would rather pay some cash for an update if it meant both OSX and Windows could be updated at the same time with the same features.

Mac users should not be expected to run bootcamp or have to wait for releases just as Windows users should not have to wait for features like GoZ.

How many people use zBrush? 1000? 10,000?
Even of they charged only $50 for an update I am sure that would add up to more than enough cash to pay an extra developer or twos salary and stil have money in the bank.

[wethand]

yeah. waiting without losing any words....

pixologic, i think i love you... ;)


edit: wtf? 10.000 people?? i think today there are MUCH more using zbrush legally! in the whole world i think there are far more than 100.000 people using ZBrush.

by the way. i think this discussion every time when pixo releases an update is stupid. just lay back and enjoy that there IS something like zbrush.
so, i just speak for me... but
THANK YOU PIXO!!! :)

[Jamnique]

Pixologic, you magnificent basterds ;] I soooo regret not having Zbrush at home or work right now. In a world of corporate sh** killing innovation you shine like stars. Keep it up you bring the faith in humanity back to this planet ;]

Couldn't have said it better. And I would take an educated guess that the number of licenses should be well above 10k...

Must say this frightens me. I get the feeling something is going on here...
Is this really still human, and 21st C?
Are you the Borg, as all resistance is indeed futile?

Just can't believe my eyes.
And this is *still* not ZB4...

[maxgamer]

Why can't we download it? It is the 24th today, correct?

[mikala]

SonofWitz artists only exist on the Mac? That is as funny as the cons that tell you abstract art is art. It will invoke some sort of epiphany in the buyer/viewer....blah blah blah. If all of that is true those chimps painting pics have us all beat. Oh and they are NOT using Macs. Just simply brushes and canvas.

[jpage]

Thank you so much for this. It amazes me when I see all the work you put into this program and I am so happy to have it available at my work! :D

[lemonnado]

Haha.... all my fav tools from 2.x are back in the game....

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[pnoland]

Why can't we download it? It is the 24th today, correct?

"Cleverbridge will be renewing download links and sending them to the email addresses on record for all users who have previously upgraded to or purchased ZBrush 3.5"

It is to be released today but that does not guarantee that everybody will get their emails today just like with the initial 3.5 release it might take a few days and keep in mind that Thursday is Thanksgiving in the US sooo....



I'm very excited to get this version installed and get the plugins going as well!

[abe_Tamazir]

link still not working...normal or is there anyone who has already downloaded the new version?
just wondering, i'd like to put my greedy hands on this :)
arg, post was updated :)
i see, ill just wait then :)

[bicc39]

About twelve hours ago, announcement made update available 11-24.
New post ( in header) says not now, don't bother us.

The inmates are running the institution.

If you can't get it right in twelve hours.....

Please Note: ZBrush 3.5 R3 is not yet available for download! We will update this announcement as soon as it has been released. Please do not contact Support inquiring about availability. Thanks!

Might want to change the icon in the top row, make room for something
worthwhile
(video skips also)

[Znub]

Looks like I spoke too soon. I thought Pixo had learned it's lesson and would stop delaying stuff endlessly.

Just release it when you know it's ready and don't say anything before that. :confused:

[Teyon]

Hey, let up guys. The release is coming, so just let them do their thing and get it up. They will post here once the update is available. Gosh.

[hobo]

I wouldn't be so quick to blame pixo, maybe cleverbridge ain't really so clever ...

'course bit torrent is made for this sort of distribution ...

[bicc39]

I am sitting here with the last version that has not run since
the day it came out ( October?)
Hoping this would fix the problem.
Give them a chance?, have and will, no choice, but discouraging.....

Have an uneasy feeling that we are the unofficial beta testers.

[industripop]

Pretty exciting guys! Lots of nice new workflow features in there. I'd trade GoZ on the Mac version for all of that new stuff! We'll get it soon my fellow Mac-ophyles. I still have faith that Pixo will deliver the goods.

[Morbius]

So, gentlemen, it would seem that I have been 'banned' from posting here, merely because I was on a rant, and asking Pixo for some information re: the Mac version.

Instead of an answer for any of us Mac folks, they've simply 'quieted' me by making my posts visible to only me, and only when I'm logged in.

Isn't that interesting? I'm just a troublemaker, and not allowed to ask a simple question. And then they wonder why the Mac Community gets angry.

Of course, I'm posting this, and no one will be able to see it - EXCEPT them, and me.

:confused:

[nickz]

Glad to see this release. I am rather perplexed by the announcement without the ability to download.

Either way, I can wait. I can still do everything I need to do with 3.12 (And that is A LOT!!!)

The lack of plug in support for 3.5 has been keeping me from moving my projects to the new version, so this release would have been great for me if the plug in support was the only new addition. Now I will have all sorts of new toys to play with. I just hope they come before turkey day!

Mmmm, turkey, mash tators, stuffing and a big helping of R3! Now that is a thanksgiving to be thankful for!

Pix crew, you guys rock and never cease to amaze me! Big thanks to you all for your hard work.

[goldo_O]

I just received an email with the download link! I can't wait to go back home and try it out! :tu:
Thanks again Pixologic!!!!

[bicc39]

we should keep our eyes on the bigger picture....who writes
the music for the videos?

[Phade2]

FYI...my email just came in with instructions to dowload. File size is 126mb and only took a min to download. Installing now!

[Magnus3D]

Sweet! i was just about to ask if any of you guys got "The Email" yet :D great to hear it's on it's way out now.

/ Magnus

[nickz]

I just received an email with the download link! I can't wait to go back home and try it out! :tu:
Thanks again Pixologic!!!!NNNNiiiiiiicccccceeeeeee!!!

[Spyndel]

It says my Cleverbridge link is no longer valid. Guess I have to wait for the emails. :(

*seethes with jealousy over those that already have it*.

Oh well...back to Dragon Age...

[Avan-AMS]

This took me by surprice, :tu:

[mantisman]

Guys & Gals in Mac Land I feel for you - having to wait and all - but seriously - why Bash Pixologic for this? Because you're going to get an awesome upgrade for free? Because the pipeline to PC production is faster & they are kindly releasing it as it becomes available?

I think all artists are kind of impatient and childish, so when a very impressive piece of software is presented in front of our eyes (eyes that have a very much wider sight than normal eyes), our imagination starts to create virtual images and models that we want to give birth to, and if these marvelous tools are not still ready to be grabbed with our trembling hand and stillo, we can fall in a deep depression. We should wait fighting our creative demons and focusing this power over ZB 3.2 that has still lots of juice to give. Ouch! a demon has just pecked me with his trident...Please tell us when, Dime cuando, cuando cuando...

[SonOfWitz]

SonofWitz artists only exist on the Mac? That is as funny as the cons that tell you abstract art is art. It will invoke some sort of epiphany in the buyer/viewer....blah blah blah. If all of that is true those chimps painting pics have us all beat. Oh and they are NOT using Macs. Just simply brushes and canvas.Ok, sorry, you're putting words in my mouth. I said nothing of the sort, and never would. such a statement would be totally bogus.

Secondly, you're absolutely mistaken if you think that abstract art is not art.
I've seen a lot of bogus statements in forums, but that's a doozy.

I am going nuts! I need it, I need it.
I love this program.

Should we wait for the second updates to fix this one.
Might be ready Friday...

[badassembly]

Woohooo, downloading my update. Feels good to be one of the earlier downloaders since i'm pretty sure I was one of the last when 3.5 came out! Thanks pixo!

[Richard Marklew]

Guys & Gals in Mac Land I feel for you - having to wait and all - but seriously - why Bash Pixologic for this? Because you're going to get an awesome upgrade for free? Because the pipeline to PC production is faster & they are kindly releasing it as it becomes available?
Sit back - Relax - Count your blessing you don't have to deal with Vista on a daily basis & enjoy the fact that by the time you get it tutorials & a manual should also be available.
I think the main problem is that the communication from pixologic in the past regarding release dates for the mac has been atrocious. Declared dates have come and gone by months without any indication beforehand that the date wouldn't be met. They then said release dates for mac and pc would be the same, with owners expecting this to be for 3.5. This didn't happen and then the dates for 3.5 for mac came and went and now a bland generic statement in giving no confidence that mac users won't be screwed again. Maybe we won't get 3.5 but just wait for later next year for version 4. Who knows, it wouldn't surprise some users here.
Having gone to 3 release candidates for the windows version it seems they were too early releasing it given the number of apparent bugs people have complained about.
They just have to be clear and open in communicating things. Something they are gradually improving but still nowhere near ideal.

ZBrush 3.5r3 installer is an .exe (executable file) and not a ZIP file.
Simply double click the downloaded ZBrush file to begin the installation process.

The local way of rotating around is back. Just turn on Align to Object under the Draw Palette. That will give you the rotation that you are looking for.

SupportWill we have to deactivate the 3.5_r2 license first, like we had to do with 3.5 R1 to R2 ?

Yes.

Downloading now!

[DanasArt]

Got the email and I'm excited to install it tonight. Thank you Pixologic.

[Spyndel]

Yes.Thanks!

Follow up question:

Can I haz download link now?

:)

[Teyon]

Deactivating 3.5 R2 install in anticipation of the R3 email coming has also deactivated my old 3.0 install. :/ Ah well, guess I'll re-activate while I wait for the email, sculpt a bit and then deactivate when it comes in a day or two.

[Crusoe the Painter]

Quick fix for running program on vista w/o needing admin rights.

Move program folder to desktop, and simply run as normal user. Works for me.

Deactivating 3.5 R2 install in anticipation of the R3 email coming has also deactivated my old 3.0 install. :/ Ah well, guess I'll re-activate while I wait for the email, sculpt a bit and then deactivate when it comes in a day or two.Wait, you mean 3.1, or 3.0? I'm not ready to lose my 3.1 install yet.

[Teyon]

Wait, you mean 3.1, or 3.0? I'm not ready to lose my 3.1 install yet.No worries. A reboot seems to have corrected whatever confusion my PC was going through. I had this happen once before so I thought to give the reboot a try. Gotta love Vista. I need to upgrade to Windows7.

So I think you'll be okay. :)

[Dty5731]

I installed and after activation, this is the first error message I've received.

I closed zbrush, and reopen it again, and I dont see the error message any more. Should I worry? :confused:

[Support]

Should I worry? :confused:No need to worry, if you do not see another error then all is OK. If you do get other error, please post in the Q&T forums.

Thank you for the quickly downloading email! Let's funnnn

Followed the instructions to use the original email containing the serial number to access the download. Opened up the download window with a message that "the link is no longer valid". WHAT?!:eek:

Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks!

[n-drew]

you have to wait like many other ppl for the email from cleverbridge including the link.

If your download link from Cleverbridge has expired, you will need to wait for them to send you a new link. Due to server capacity, they cannot send these links to everyone simultaneously. It may take a few days to get all the links sent out. Please do not contact Support to request that your download link be renewed.
