Well its not like we can linch em…
They have tons of work to do.
my bet (hopes) is that we get it sometime in April after the 4th. Isn’t that when the 2nd quarter fiscal year starts for businesses or something like that?
I predict, September the 1st.
I have a crazy new theory.
perhaps, the release of the update is waiting on/improving with the input of WETA as they are testing it in the production of Peter Jackson’s upcoming King Kong movie.
I know it sounds a bit far-fetched, but that’s exactly what happened with the wait on the release of version 2.0 of zbrush; WETA was testing it in their production and giving input. Maybe the same thing is happening here…plus, we haven’t seen Skycastle around these parts in a bit. so that’s more reason to not throw that out as a possibility.
sorry, it’s just that waiting so long and so anxiously will make you slowly start to go insane.
Awwwww conspiracy theories 8-)))). I read in the world news
that the delay of the 2.5 release also is a result of incorporating Pixologic 2.5D into other prorams like VUE5 which otherwise would not be able to cope with the volume of data it now claims to be able to digest.

What?
It came out last Friday, guys. Where’ve you been? 
(last Friday, if you’ll check your calendars, was April Fools Day)
I’m with abxy. Weta did get everything they wanted out of Zbrush by the time LOTR was finished; then we got what they had. It only stands to reason that the same would hold true again! Kong has numerous dinosaurs and of course Kong himself. Now it turns out that Universal has upped the anti and Peter Jackson has agreed to two more features filmed back to back featuring Son of Kong. The first feature will take place both on the island and in Germany during WW2 and will feature German genetically altered monsters. Certainly, enough Zbrush action there:lol: ! I’ll go further and predict animation within ZBrush in the near future. The only thing missing from what we saw with the initial posing was interpolation between poses. hmmm…

Truely Amazing…
If we’re looking at animation tools inside of ZBrush competitive with… anything, expect to wait a longtime for it’s release. That’s not a simple task, nor a small evolutionary step.
What’s been shown is revolutionary, folks. And there will surely be more surprises. But don’t set yourself up to be disappointed by the release, ‘cause when you get to be that jaded, there’s just no point wakin’ up in the morning.
cant wait. Can you tell us when you expect to release amazing updates.
“Now it turns out that Universal has upped the anti and Peter Jackson has agreed to two more features filmed back to back featuring Son of Kong. The first feature will take place both on the island and in Germany during WW2 and will feature German genetically altered monsters.”
That was an April fools joke!!!

Enjoy the movie when it comes out!
Well we think you should be!
I have a feeling, that the PC and MAC version will be released at the same time. I think this is why things have been going slowly here as of late. Even though I use a PC, I do try and keep tabs on how our MAC friends are fairing with ZB. Assuming my hunch is true, and from what I have read, there still is alot of work to be done. Just a guess though. Who knows maybe Pix won the lottery and took an extended holiday! :lol:
They could also be trying to get a demo ready at the same time too. I’m sure their plate is full, though.
I’m just anxious to see what they got cooking.
I reckon they’ll release ZB2 as the demo, & the upgrade for us dudes, I don’t think they’ll release the upgraded ZB as a demo…but what do I know, just guessing…
IMHO only the latest version would be of value from a marketing perspective. Specially considering the enhancements ahead.

The release version of both at the same time would be a great thing to do.
I hope they will both be released at the same time… otherwise I have decided I will just have to buy a second ‘crossgrade’ license (50% off) so I can use Zbrush 2.? on my PC until the mac version of the update is released.
I might actually do this anyway since I’m really curious to see how Z2 fares on my Athlon (which I havn’t turned on since I got my powerbook G4). Gah! All I do is spend money! Too bad the Z2 license isnt cross-platform

Any news on when this update will be released?
