Add me to the mac attack crew. Dual 2.5 G5 power pc. I hope there will be a version to run on this machine. I have spared myself the pain of watching the video until the mac release date.
But It’s killing me! 
I want to know what clay, elastic, magnify and blob do! We need another video. 
Since this is a free upgrade for existing users, and since many of us have been waiting for ZBrush 2.5/3 for well over a year now after many delays, why doesn’t Pixologic just release the Beta version to all existing ZBrush customers? I understand it will have alot of bugs but it doesn’t make sense to keep it in the hands of only a select few when it’s going to be a free upgrade at release. Besides they could keep a seperate forum channel with posting access reserved for only certaint people and read only for everyone else if they didn’t want an influx of questions. Come on guys, lets convince them to do this.
Hi Ofer.
Thank you very much for giving ZBrush as a free upgrade for previous users. This is highly unexpected and a very nice surprise. I will be eagerly waiting for the Mac OS version, please let us know if you have a release date.
Thanks again.
I have to say, that when I first saw this I was blown away and started desperately looking for a way to purchase this. I can’t wait to get in there and start having some fun…Then I came across these guys in Germany who are working on a similar but much more powerful software - (though, this is debatable). At least for what it does, modeling faces and building a 3D likeness out of a 2D image and having one master face with unlimited morphable characters, it seems to be the best. As an over all package, ZBrush offers more, but it sets a good bar for them to consider reaching for future versions when it comes to modeling power.

If I had spent all that time and effort producing ZB3, I would not go and let the public see and use it at any stage other than a complete and solid version.
I would want my first experiences with ZB3 to be a bug free one. In 11 days time ZB3 will be shown for the first time to the public where I hope to hear and maybe see more of it myself as I cant be there myself.
Actually, Lightwave 9.2 is in final beta stages as well and it is being released to all the current users. Lot’s more eyes looking at it before final release. I like getting my hands on the new update, but know if a bug surfaces, that it could be dealt with in the final release. I wouldn’t mind it at all if the same thing happened with ZB3.
I just want it very badly, because I know how usefull it would be even if it wasn’t at 100%. I guess that just makes me an impatient fan.
I cant wait for the release of v9.2, from the looks of it so far its going to be a great update. Lightwave which iv just started learining has had a major revamp in version 9, which has indeed brought it to life. In some cases a beta is a wise choice and Newtek it was one of thoes well thought out choices. The question is how much of a impact would Zbrush v3 be if everyone had been using it watching it grow over time in development? There would be no wow factor and no nice suprices that we will have very soon. Dont get me wrong id like to beta test Zbrush 3.1, 3.2 e.c.t.
You know what they say:
Don’t taste the wine before it’s ready.
I have waited almost 3 years. I can
wait 8 more weeks. Problem is I would
like some more teasers. Maybe after
Gnomon’s presentation we’ll see another
video.
I was a beta tester for an earlier version of ZBrush, and while it was very cool to be able try out the features we had been seeing from Pixolator as teasers, I was still very excited with the full release. Beta versions don’t always have 100% of the functionality of the upcoming release. At least, in this case it didn’t.
I would test for Pixologic again, if asked, but the upgrades are always worth the wait. And believe me, since starting with ZBrush 1.23b, I’ve done alot of waiting for upgrades. I’ve always been thrilled. Good things come to those who wait, as they say.
My birthday is 2 days after the projected release of ZB3, so I’m looking forward to that as a birthday gift.
zbrush 3…my mouth waters with fervent anticipation.
very,very good!
And the magic begins 15th of may!!!
Zbrush ----> best thing to happen to a computer!!
Waiting for the 15th from now on will be longer than waiting a whole year for christmas.
I like to hear, that Z3 will be available at no cost for registered Z2 users, but I hope, you earn enough ( with all that work and free give-aways) that you don’t be bought some day by some big bad guy like Adobe or Autodesk and than be watered down to high priced half year updates with less contents, expensive subscriptions for plugins and worse.
Please stay with us,… stay forever.
still lots to learn about v2 but looking forward to v3. thanks pixologic, indeed -
Btw, will there be a linux variant of ZB3? or perhaps on future ZB roadmap?
As a new convert to Zbrush, I can’t believe I’ve floundered in the dark for so long with other so called hands on modelling 3d apps.
Zbrush really does work and now Zbrush3 upgrade, I’m blinded by the light!
Thanks to all at Zbrush.
Hi guys, i quite interested in buying ZBrush 3 The Next Step, but i can’t find any information about how much the ZBrush costs. Is there any different prices for educational purpose for colleges and schools?
THere are other vendors on the web that offer Zbrush with a educational discount.
Try googling for “Zbrush Educational Discount”
