ctrl+awesome,
if you are talking about the slog guy, he says he is from the doom people so I reckon he got hold of the beta or the full plugin that way. Since Pixologic just posted a interview with doom 3 folks I reckon they got to test it out…someone has to …to insure it works well in game enviroments which probably use normal maps more so than anyone else.
it will be available when it’s available…someday…hahah I hope that the zapplink is made available first tho.
Thanks for clearing my confusion.
Zmapper was Demoed at my school, and it’s something i’ve been looking forward to ever since. So when i saw that on CGTalk, my reaction was to try and find it because i assumed it was out.
Huh.
I hadn’t thought about it, but those are probably it’s only possible values. People either love or hate this program, seeing zero or infinite value in it. :lol:
So we all have version 2.5 already! 
All things being equal, we do indeed.
(Big apologies to anyone trying to follow along here if English (or Math) is a second language.)
waits killing me!! :lol:
I wanted to ask sense we havent gotten anything from the team yet. will the plugins come out before the end of sept? and will 2.5 be out before the end of december of 05?
lol asking pixologic for a software release date is like asking wheres Jimmy Hoffa’s body?. Believe me they will not commit themselves to a date.
Dont get me wrong i’d love to know when ill be running 2.5 at home, id love to us it on my current wip.
Not true. We will commit to a release date… Just as soon as we know that date can be met.
What we won’t do is give a date that’s really just a guess and so could easily lead to the disappointment of having it postponed.
I can appreciate that, eh Microsoft?
How long after US release Z2.5 will be available for us in Europe?
Will new plugs (Linkapp for exmp) be free to download?
And one more thing, Where is Pixolator? I miss his work… 
Take all the time you need. I prefer to wait a bit longer and then the upgrade will work without problems 
Makes no sense to rush out something and then fix bugs 
I agree, make sure everything is working and stable first…but would certainly love to get hold of the plugins (zmapper. etc) ASAP.
Any sign of a release for those?
El-d
When…i’ts…done.Works everytime.
2.5 will be released simultaneously world-wide. When we announce the release date, though, it will be based on Pacific Time which means that if you’re in another part of the world it may not actually be available to you until the middle of the night or the following day.
The three plugins that we’ve announced will be released incrementally sometime prior to Z2.5. That’s all I can say for now.
i know this is not an easy thing to do to the program cuz so much is based on canvas size, but i was just crunching some numbers based on the new 20,000,000 poly counts we will now be able to work with in zbrush…
problem, a 4k map is only 16.7 million pixels. And from pixologic’s own literature you want atleast the same amount of pixels as polys… plus u wouldnt even be using all of those 16 million due to UV seams, borders.

I was gonna mention the 20,000,000 pixols. THATS INSANE!!
can you give us more info on it, will we be able to take are current models and up them to this level with ease? that spider i showed today was 4.9 million and it took about 5 min on a 3.2 ghz with 1 gig of ram to get to that number. hope zbrush works with ease now with 5 million pixols. cant wait!
will this be part of the free plugins when it comes out or do we have to wait until 2.5 is released?
ya know you made an amazing program when it turns men into girls, WE WANT ARE ZBRUSH UPDATE! :lol:

Eh Hem! And just what would you mean by this?? eh? 
I’m sorry if it’s been mentioned, but I’m hoping for a much bigger document size. :). 50.
Aurick will there be an annoucement before the end of the month as promised at Siggraph?
That would be tomorrow.
You can’t wait one day to find out for yourself?
It’ll be released when it’s ready. It’ll be announced when they know it’ll be ready.
One minute sooner, and you’re asking them to lie.
