ZBrush 4.0

Purchase and Upgrade Schedule

Dear ZBrush Artists,

As you may already know ZBrush 4.0 Win and ZBrush 4.0 Mac will both be officially released for download on 8/9/10! (9th August 2010)

We sincerely trust that this exciting version of ZBrush will become a major part of your day to day artistic work-flow, opening you to an ever expanding world of creativity.

ZBrush was first released 10 years ago as a tool by artists for artists and we have certainly come a long way since then!

Our vision has always been to develop new and innovative features that push the boundaries of what has been previously possible in digital art, so we are thrilled to offer this new breakthrough 10th anniversary ZBrush 4.0 Win or Mac version for pre-order right now! (see the details below)

Here is a sample of beta tester images created with ZBrush 4 beta!
(When Z4 is released, beta testers will have their own threads here at ZBrushCentral so that you may communicate with them and learn from their Z4 experiences!)

Please see the details below on how to get ZBrush 4.0.
There are instructions for both new purchases and free upgrades to existing customers.

Upgrading to ZBrush 4.0

All current ZBrush license holders are entitled to a free upgrade to ZBrush 4.0 Win/Mac, regardless of when they purchased ZBrush. If you currently have ZBrush 3.5 (PC) or 3.2 (Mac) you will be sent your upgrade instructions beginning on 8/9/10 - 9th August 2010*. If you have not yet upgraded to the current ZBrush version please submit a Support ticket at http://support.pixologic.com as soon as possible so that your upgrade to version 4.0 can proceed smoothly.

An option to purchase a backup CD will also be available for those upgrading to ZBrush 4.0.

*Upgrade instructions will be sent in batches over several days. In order to be completely fair to everyone, the order in which upgrades will be sent out has been randomized.

Purchasing ZBrush 4.0

At the same time that ZBrush 4.0 becomes available for upgrades on 8/9/10 it will be made available for sale in the Pixologic online store, for immediate download.

In addition to the usual backup CD option, Pixologic will also be releasing a limited 10th Anniversary Special Edition package of ZBrush 4.0 for Win/Mac.

The Special Edition comes in a black metal case.

Due to the limited quantity of ZBrush 4.0 Special Editions, this package will only be available while supplies last, with priority given to pre-orders.

Here is how to purchase your Special Edition package of ZBrush 4.0:

For those attending SIGGRAPH 2010 (27th-29th July)
10th Anniversary Special Edition packages of ZBrush 4.0 Win and Mac can be pre-ordered in person at the Pixologic booth #709.

Upon the release of ZBrush 4 on 8-9-10 you will receive an email with instructions on how to get your ZBrush 4.0 upgrade (Mac or Win), which may be downloaded immediately.
