A Gift From Pixologic

**misha_dd** · 07-23-10

....I can see the point of developing with Pixologic support...with Taron giving that much praise to the developer, I guess I'll relent to future progress of the program...

good luck

I was trying the program since december, and I think that is a good start. At the beggining, the author planned the possibility to convert it to opensource, and in the community were very excited, because could be the first sculpting tool to be opensource. Sadly will not happened.
Congrats Pixologic, good adquisition, but now I would like to know, if you planned to introduce some technology of this tool in zbrush or otherwise, keep that tool as another standalone tool. I mean, doesn't make sense to have too similar tools in the same company.

Cheers.

This news is AWESOME!! I am so very excited to see what the creative geniuses at Pixologic and the one-man-wounder, DrPeter, will bring to the table in the future. I found Sculptris ~a week ago and was thoroughly impressed. It really allows you to get forms and fine lines into a model fast, and it's UI is a breath of fresh air (i love how all major sculpting brushes are just a figure's length away). However, being a small app it defiantly has it's limitations, and is no where near as powerful as Zbrush.... that's why i'm so excited to hear the two are having a baby.

Congrats Thomas, you well deserve it.
And a round of applause for the people at Pixologic who continue to advance the way we do art.

Sculptris hits the bigtime?
Congratulations to Dr Petter and ZBrush.

thought he said he was done with Sculptris so he could focus on new projects, expect the unexpected i guess.

Anyone know what to do?

t's a really great news to me!

Thomas as done an incredible job, he's kind of a genius, doing this alone and in spare time.. and it's very funny to use, really good and simple workflow, I hope he can help pixo team to get the workflow of Zbrush easier.

The brush are awesome, I especially like the pinch and the flatten, the flatten work really like you want a flatten brush to work! But all the bursh are really nice and the tessalation it's very cool too! I think it's the best app for doing a base sculpt very quickly, then retopo and switch into Zbrush to add all the nice details, in that department, Zbrush is unbeatable

Can't wait to see what Zbrush would look like in a near futur

I have a feeling this is the end of the free program as we know it. How sad. I still have a copy zipped some where i was giving it out to my nieces and nephews. I could not buy them all Zbrush, so Sculptris was the solution. too bad not anymore i guess. at least i have the latest beta copy.

I suppose i saw this coming. Congrats to the Developer. But a sad loss to the free 3D app community. I did see a blerb on Blender nation where they were adapting the technology into Blender sculpting. So perhaps it wont be a complete disappearance.

Smart move of Pixols part. I would have done the same thing from a business standpoint. Don't take my post the wrong way. I'm just a poor struggling 3D artist . I could only afford a few programs. Zbrush being the most expensive. I have to suffice with Blender for box modeling... (shudder)

I was considering Silo, but they haven't updated in 3 years.. I think they are going down.

Pixol, I appeal to you, please keep Sculptris free.

wow! just tried it and i had a creature bust modled and painted in no time. Gr8 software! i guess the only limitation is that the mesh density can slow down your system after a while.

Are you role playing what went through the Dev's head? or is this a personal inner monologue?
