As of 8am, all my other 3D software has been rendered obsolete! Archaic! Boring! Weak! 
hmmm…I guess they’ll make a great tax deduction next year as a lose. 
Z2 is Creamy Mojo 
I agree. Actually, I wish I would have found out about Zbrush long ago, because I probably wouldn’t have bought Maya and other packages to learn 3D. My goal was to better my illustration abilities, and then I got stuck on the long and tedious journey of learning complicated programs.
Heck, even 1.55b is much more suited for what I was originally wanting. Oh well, at least I am now proficient in Maya. It only cost me $2,000.
LOL
I Just bought maya 
(waiting for delivery) … I still think it will be usefull for me as I hope to do fully 3D scenes and some animation … plus also to learn texturing in 3D apps.
I almost bought Lightwave cause of the cool new feature to come in 8 … but I got too good of a deal on maya to pass it up.
