Problem is we are all waiting for a Date let alone the release itself so IMHO if we dont get a date by end December then I rekon it isnt going to be here for a while into 2007. Im sure Pixologic are right on it now, they wont crack under presure as they want a quality product update that works.
Im sitting it out not getting to excited untill I actualy see a date. In the mean time iv got plenty to do and learn.
Man I cant believe they will have rigging in Zbrush I CANT WAIT.
Ow but you did didnt you;) (Wait that is)
Thought it would be fun to dig this post out of the grave thats all;)
Back in 11-27-04 looks pretty cool.
that yr we had the little professor calculator, The K-Pro, and Cdos.
lol
ahh memorys
its a great read also;)
its been a long wait … and it continues … for Mac users
I agree!!! It would be nice if Mac users couls at least play around with the beta version.
It might be wishful thinking to assume there is a beta version. More likely, everything’s on hold until the PC version is stabilized – you can’t port a moving target…
Zbrush for MAc users, as tghe development takes too long to build a new Zbrush3 for MAc, we stop and try to make a new version for Vista.
HA ha ha , waiting its not the right word its hybernating…
My god… PC has already an update , I regret the days when Pixologic made Zbrush 1, 1.5… after its different… or related to money matter…
Zbrush was my favorite application and I hope she will be again , this one on my MAC…

I can’t help but think of those Mac, PC commercials with that chubby, corny guy and the so called, hip dude.
In my mind the commercial goes like this…
Corny guy: Yeah, but at least we have the software, yna, yna!
LOL, sorry. I know that was cruel.
Fortunately with VMware I’m running ZB3 quite nicely on my Macs.

Remember how angry they were at Adobe’s when Apple came with OSX? How long it took to get a good version of Photoshop for it?
Not saying they’re not innovative, but they are jumping from one system to another one like grasshoppers on a hot plate.
Reminds me of the days when Jobs released a mac without cooling because it was too noisy. Whew.
It’s not Pixologic’s fault. That’s all.
Unfortunately this one is Pixologic’s fault. OSX has been essentially the same longer than WinXP has been WinXP. The big change was processor chips, which has been subtly happeing in Windows-land for some time (including XP-64). Pixologic has simply elected, for their own reasons, not apply the resources to delivering a Mac version. That’s OK, but the “blame Apple” approach is silly when you look at all the other Pro Applications that have long since delivered OSX and Universal Binary versions of their products.
Primarily Newtek and Pixologic are the “last horses” and even Newtek (with primarily one developer on Mac) has a nearly complete UB version.
It’s going to be awfully funny in my mind if Rhino, which never had a Mac version, beats Pixologic to getting a UB version into the hands of their customers.
(Heck, even Poser is OSX & UB! Sheesh . . . .)
Pix is riding their uniqueness for what it’s worth, but other sculpting options are comming on Market that don’t seem to have Pix’s problems with the Mac (or even getting their own patches out on time.)

OSX is Unix. It’s pretty rock solid. I use a Mac mini at home and a Dell 670 at work on XP professional. My Mac Mini Dual Core 1.67 mhz outperforms the Dell on many tasks.
I wish that were true of Microsoft because I am required to use windows in my job. Office has been in need of an overhaul for nearly ten years. Word is a layout artist’s nightmare. Powerpoint looks like it was designed during the dark ages and has the klunkiest graphics interface of almost any product since the days of MacDraw.
What really surprises me is the corporate world always pays lipservice to innovation, and increased productivity. Yet the standard for office computing, is the standard because of it’s ubiquity, not its efficiency, or quality. It’s good to be king. Too bad… the king has no clothes.
Wilbrown1 - so… you hate PCs and MS and love Mac… okeeeey… Is it makes things different anyhow? You still dont have your Z3 and the difference between us is - you need wait while I am enjoying it NOW. :lol:

I have Z3. I’m just not going to install windows on my Mac to run it. I can wait. I’m starting up a new band “Last” - blues and rock. I have plenty to keep me busy till z3 is released for Mac. I use Z2 almost every day, and I’m enjoying it.
I don’t hate MS or PCs; 3D studio max, which I use at work, rocks. I just wish MS had done a better job on OS design from the getgo.
In ten years this mac/pc chatter will be moot. I’m hoping computing innovates to better OSs than either apple or ms produce. Compared to auto industry development, I’d say computers are barely out of the Model T phase. I want computers to advance to the point where the latest computer has advancements which make it seem like a driving modern BMW not a Model T.
I’ll be only satisfied when there is Zero latency, no matter what task asked of a computer. It always should work at a speed where the user never experiences any interuption or delay in getting work accomplished.
Hot diggitydog!! I cannot wait til my new computer arrives now so I can get zbrush set-up and running and waiting for this new marvel of an update.
