**** ZBrush 3.12 - for Mac OS X - to be released on September 29, 2008 ****

Oh yes. Make sure it has Leopard. I'd up the RAM to 4+ gigs, too. Even 1 more gig would help a lot. Memory is pretty cheap as long as you don't buy it from apple. ZB is dependent on memory for polycounts, so it will really enhance how far you can take a model.

Everyone who wishes to receive the upgrade should fill out the form. This allows you to be added to the list of people who will be upgraded starting on the 30th.

Not everyone will receive the upgrade on the 30th.......

.....or 7 (30th now, not 29th?)......or 8 or 9 if you didn't fill out the form immediately.......still not long!

Oh Yes. Now it's our turn.

I had to start using ZBrush earlier this summer and needed to use 3.1, so I set up bootcamp on my mac and purchased windows xp. Now that 3.12 is about to come out, I would like to get rid of the bootcamp partition on my harddrive and run ZBrush on OSX. Does the free upgrade to 3.12 apply to people like me or is it only for people who have been running ZBrush 2 on their macs? I hope I don't have to pay the full amount again-- especially since I had to purchase windows xp just to run ZBrush 3.1.

Hi jhesser, I see you typed:

"I hope I don't have to pay the full amount again-- especially since I had to purchase windows xp just to run ZBrush 3.1."

So I say, maybe you missed:

"All registered users of the current version, including those who purchase between now and the release of
ZBrush 3.12 will receive the new version as a free upgrade."

I bought my Mac Pro just for ZB. I probably would have used my G5 for another 4 years.

Probably the new ZB version cannot be installed because it duplicates existing Apple functionality somewhere....
