This may be something tiny thet gets buried under all those Z3 improvements… but does Z3 aware of intuos tilt? I shy away from getting an intuos because Z2 doesn’t recognize the pen tilt.
A couple of months ago I saw the post about Zbrush 3 being a free upgrade to registered 2 users…on the CGsociety forum. I followed the link and watched the sample video. It then had a segment showing bones being applied around facial features and then rotating (and other manipulating of) the bones to distort the mesh. It seemed a dream rigging setup.
I no longer see that segment in the demo. Does anyone know what happened to that? Will it no longer be an option within 3? That seemed like such a valuable function…
Sure wish there was some automatic vertices weighting system within Max like I saw in that video. Even if it was not transportable (back into max) it would be an invaluable tool for creating morph targets.
Does anyone know the story behind this function and it’s disappearance from the demo video?
Thanks,
Michael Sheeler
Zsphere rigging may still be there, but it seems transpose has supplanted it for the most part.
Someday will have rigs that will export from Zbrush to other apps… someday!!!
chuif…
When you go back even further ,there was the video where a woman was posed without any need to mask of areas not as now shown in new video. Also a wire frame mesh and trasparancy was instantly viewable at any time during the process in the older video. You could go back and continue to work in full symmetry and go back to your pose at any time. Remember though that animatable morph targets are avalible as shown in new video so we can see how our work deforms. I prety sure that surface rigging is still there as it apeared to work great in the video.
Either way whats been added or taken away will be done for the best in stability, and to maintain pixologics name for a quality product.
We now have a count down of only 15 days, thats only just over 2 weeks away which is nothink. My new pc is to be built today and im very much looking forward to working with Zbrush 3. The Beta images have shown just some of the potential Zbrush 3 has, but at the end of the day its the artest behind the tools that creates the results, it just makes creativity flow ina more open stream when you have such tools as Zbrush 3 at hand.
Thanks for understanding an artist creative process and letting us continue being creative .
I am excited by the short countdown also
So whats the official date again???
Are we there yet???
Are we there yet???
God I’m going insane…
…nope, false alarm. <phew> I’m already insane.
The date of release is the 5th may my friend…Ops, missed out the 1.
Damn now i have to say every day to me that my birthday is on 15th and not on 25th.
Can you push the release 10 days back? Thanks in advance.
Oh i forgot, i missed the 1 april joke…i had to make up that now. 
<------BEGINS CHOKING MOUSE_ART
Chanting to myself not funny not funny not funny…
hah… now that it’s fair game, my birthday is May 9th (being honest here)
So close… so close!
Whoever’s setting these date’s a master of suspense!!!
And mine is the 10th, so we will get belated gifts from Picologic 
Well, my mom’s birthday is on the 15th… too bad she doesn’t even know what ZB is… Darn it. 
Show her ZB! If she is telling you that she is to old for something like that(PC’s ect.), just say her she looks young and beautiful, it should work.
@jasongi
You are a mad person. (ed: just kidding of course)
What is ten days, after some years waiting? 
I’m sorry if this question has been answered. There are 40 something pages posted on this topic and I don’t have the patience to read them all and look for my answer.
I have in intel-mac. If I dedcide to switch and run it on windows… will it be possible to switch back to mac-zbrush license once it’s out or do we have to wait for the UB version to come out?
If I’m not mistaken, the system only lets one time switch between OSes. Anyone wanna back me up on this?
So, you probably won’t be able to switch back to mac license later on…
You might wanna consider dual booting your system.
Still no news on linux ZB?
Btw… It’s the 5th!! w00t! Soon… my precious… soon we will be together…
Can ZB3 retopologize to a triangulated mesh?
(Did search on this thread. Sorry if it’s been answered elsewhere.)
