Message decoded…congratulations Pixologic on 20 years of innovation!!!

Has it been that long? Fantastic and can’t wait for the show.

So just to clarify, the Workshops are in person classes? They won’t be streamed online anywhere?

That is correct. The general presentations will be streamed but the workshops are on-site, only and have limited seating.

Ya, 20 years sounds about right. I think version 1.55b was out in 1998-99 and was the first time I used ZBrush in a community college computer lab. It was on all of the apple g4 systems, but I remember Maya was on a single machine, locked up. You had to get on a waiting list to check out the dongle to be able to use Maya.

I didnt bother with Maya at the time because i was too absorbed in learning both ZBrush and Photoshop!!!

Sweet, I picked the perfect term to attend Gnomon, didn’t I?

very nice this post
