Faaaaaantastic news! Now I can`t wait to get THE email. My first upgrade! Cool!
May I ask if the old 3.1 ZTL files are compatible with the new3.5 version?
(I know I could just try it, but what if they`re not compatible.. then I`d have to reinstall 3.1 again to be able to finish my work).

This is sweet. I'll be eagerly awaiting my upgrade details, camping out by my email inbox.

Why does Pixologic show us such wonderful new things with each upgrade to ZBrush yet take forever getting it out to all users? Asking myself that questions makes me A MAC USER wonder to the ZBrushCentral page each day with the hope that today will be the day that I too can have fun with 3.5. Don't get me wrong GoZbrush is great if you have Maya or Modo and could use it.
Can anybody see if there is light at the end of the tunnel? Any word?
