Why hope when if you look in the gallery there are plenty of hints that seem to state exactly that. e.g every single image states created and rendered in zbrush 4. No external renderers.
The second image in the gallery shows multiple maps like ambient occlusion map, shadow map, depth map etc etc.
I’m not saying I am right but it looks that way. Either way not long till we find out anyway.

Who knows what could happen.
Really great news !! [<img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”>
New Tools,Materials, Rendering capabilities seems really cool [url=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/faq.php?faq=vb_read_and_post#faq_zbc_display_images”]<img src=“http://www.zbrushcentral.com/pixo/atn.gif”>](http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/faq.php?faq=vb_read_and_post#faq_zbc_display_images)
But I agree with that :
…the only sad thing ( for me ) is this…
ZBrush 4 - Special Edition Pre-Order
Available only for new purchases of individual licenses, the ZBrush 10th Anniversary Special Edition comes in a beautiful............. …because i have a license and it seems there is no way to buy this special backup cd, without purchasing a new license…
I am really jealous about future new Pixologic customers lol
wow the preview of the new features are breathtaking!!! Especially shadowbox is awesome … create a basemesh in no time! Really thinking about going to buy ZB4, but the price is high for a student!
Absolutely amazing.
Thank you for the free upgrade. Worth every cent 
No really, absolutely amazing.

THANK YOU PIXOLOGIC FOR BEEING SO AMAZING AND FOR MAKING MY ZLIFE SO BEAUTIFUL =)
great!
Haha… This is the Pixologic we all expect to see! When you swear you’ve already seen everything on this life… Boom, they throw their another world’s tools just in front of your face! Well done Pixologic, I thank God everyday for your existence!
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 you will be sent your upgrade instructions beginning on 8/9/10 - 9th August 2010*. If you have not yet upgraded to version 3.5 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.
So those of us on the Mac with ZBrush 3.2. Do we have to do anything or are we treated the same as if we have 3.5 and have the upgrade instructions automatically sent to us?
Mac-users from 3.2 ?
Edit: Oeps, not the first one with this question…
looks kool, but I sure hope that all the bugs from 3.5 are fixed. I’d hate to have to deal with the scaling issue still.
Yes, very nice.
But I hope that ZB 4 will also include some more basic features that it misses so far, like better integration of using reference-pictures within the modeling area, easier Topology (watch 3dCoat for that !), better texturing tools for making things easier like the ability to manually alter already placed textures that are alraedy on the model (like the liquify-Filter in Photoshop) etc.
That would make ZB much better than all that Gimmicks that nobody really use everyday.
The shadowbox looks really promising and usefull, but most of the ZB 3.x preview-videos also did, until we later found out that they were more tricky than easy to use in reality. 
DroOoOoOOols!!! those are some mouth-watering features 
now let’s just hope the UI is changed too in the final version!
looks incredible, and it comes out on the day i come back from holiday what luck, im interested in the new redering features, finally ambient occlusion
hard face modeling is revolutionised

VEeeeeeRRRRRY nice! So far…GREAT/AWESOME/FREAKIN’SWEET start. Not gonna do any “I hope there is” and “why cant you add” cause i think…those couple of things in the video…very nice, needed additions. ANd i would be happy with just those BUT i know there is more to come. Keep em coming!! Cant wait to USE these tools!!
