Since ZBrush 3.12 Mac Intel has been enhanced with new functionality, we will also update the Windows version to incorporate these new features, and make them available to the ZBrush Windows community. It is not unlikely that major additional features be unveiled at that time, and will be made available for both Mac and Windows as a free upgrade toward the end of year. :slight_smile:

This will include support for those plugins (ZAppLink and Displacement Exporter, ZMapper will not be needed) which are not compatible with this transitional version ZBrush 3.12.

ZBrush 3.12 can be purchased online from the e-store at www.pixologic.com/store for immediate download.
All registered users of earlier ZBrush versions, including those who have been using the temporary PC license will receive ZBrush 3.12 as a free upgrade. :slight_smile:

Hey, all those new features sound awesome! I was only expecting the good ol’ 3.1 with bug fixes, surprise surprise! Still waiting for my email, but that’s great news Pixologic! If these are just a teaser of 3.5, it must be bad to the bone! :+1:
