About the next step for ZBrush

this is real question I’d like to know. I can can see in the video that there’s a retopologizing tool, but can we retopologize in another program adding removing edgeloops, moving verts… and then bring that back into zbrush and project the sculpt onto this new mesh?

So have they fixed the bug where not saving a ztool at level 1 can result in corruption? ( IE, like PSNAP, will zbrush automatically drop to level 1 before saving a Ztool? )

Or will I still need to use PSNAP?

Cant touch this.
Nag time!!!

*dances round in funky trousers :lol:

oh i guess its time

(stupid) question: how do i get my free copy

You’ll find the answer here

that is one of the things that i was also asking several times, until i got the answer…

And the answer is yes, and all that you see in the video is in perpective view, not ortho. :wink:

Now ZB3.0 will have perspective for sculpting :slight_smile: .

NOT ortho. for sculpting, NOT the “fish eye perpective” of the ZB2.0 mac version…(although i haven`t use the ZB2.0 mac version, i have heard that has fish eye perspective).

:smiley: :smiley: TWO MONTHS LEFT FOR THE BIG DAY RELEASE GUYS AND GALS :smiley: :smiley:

OK, so it’s near the end of march 15th… where is version 3.0?! I can’t wait any longer , guuuuuuuuuuys!! Pleaaaaaaase!! :smiley:

you have to wait 2 more months until may 15th. :grimacing:

damn!! it seems I fell victim to an inexplainable lack of information! :smiley: this is SO bad… :grimacing:small_orange_diamond:(

I was curious if you guys (Pixologic) were planning on announcing pricing for zb3. Every time you guys have made an announcement on the next version of your software you have listed the price for it along with the initial announcement.

Right now the price is $489 USD. Let me tell you why.
The current version is $489 and the upgrade is free.
Also, my thinking is the price is either going to stay
the same (not likely but possible) or it is going to go up.
Instead of taking a chance and crossing your fingers
for it to stay the same, just buy it now and you won’t
have to worry if the price changes or not.
Upgrade to Z3 is free!!!

Mahlikus The Black makes a very good point. Buy now. Why wait? Less risk to buy now.

Good luck with your decision.
Cheers!

Yeah that’s not why I was asking, I have owned my own personal copy of zb2 for almost 2 years now. I was just wondering what they will up the price to. They have upped the price on every version, and have announced new pricing on every version release date announcement.

I am just curious is all :)

Does ZB3 support tangent-space sculpting?

The announcement of Z3 pushed me off the fence to buy a copy as well. It’s really unlikely that it’s going to get any cheaper, why take the chance? :slight_smile:

I am thinking it does in its own Z-way.
Let me explain.
The transpose function is a non-destructive process.
This translates into two possible outcomes:

 Workflow possibility - The model remembers it's Home (default) pose. This means you can toggle back to symmetry and make your alterations and then toggle back to your pose. This being said...
 
 New Feature Possibility - Using the stored memory of the Home Pose, Z will allow its own calculation of tangent space (asymmetry) sculpting.

They already have Smart Resym so it seems they may be working on something of the like as MB Tangent Symmentry.

My thinking is that Pixologic still has the idea of raising the price or even the actual amount up in the air. If their minds were made up then they would have said so already. At least this is my thinking. So, because they haven’t mentioned anything, the subject is still a gray area for them. At least this is what I can gauge from the lack of stating what they will do.

We have a release date, but nothing seems to be happening. Its not possible to upgrade my Zbrush version. :frowning:

Think it is possible, when the release date comes. :wink:

Are there any functions in Zbrush3 expected to be able to extruct a face or smooth shift etc.
