This wait is like the week before NFL … hope May 15 gets here soon … just can’t wait …
What is the server capacity like? How long did things take when version 2 was released? Basicaly, will everyone trying to get 3 kill the system, or do/did Pixologic have loads of mirrors?
Thanks
Simon
Waiting for the NFL season really sucks, but this is pretty grueling as well. I get so sad in February when I know I have 7 months to wait for football. With Z3, I didn’t know about the new release until a few weeks ago, so this hasn’t been too bad.
As for problems getting Z3 on release date, I just have to relate my personal experience downloading the upgrades in the past…I’ve had nothing but good experiences with element5. They can never seem to find me as a customer on their databases (I purchased through DigitalRiver years ago), but luckily I have all of my past records and they usually find me within a few hours and I have never had to wait longer than that to download and get running.
Hopefully, the same will happen next week for all of us.
I am planning on getting a MacBook Pro, in part to use boot camp (hopefully just temporarily) to use ZBrush 3. Eventually I want to get a new MacPro Quad Core but will wait for another year for that probably.
My question is does anyone know if the MacBook Pro is better to get Windows XP or Vista? I was going to order it from MacMall which gives it preinstalled and an option for Boot Camp or Parellels. Can you have both boot camp and parellels I can see situations where both would be useful.
Can the OS run in 64bit in windows on a MacBook and if so will ZBrush see any benifit? The ram is limited in a laptop anyway so not sure if it would offer any advantage anyway.
Finally, I am also thinking that maybe I should just wait till later this fall when Leopard might be shipped with boot camp built into the OS and newer, faster, better laptops — any thoughts as to is it better to wait till then?
Does anyone know of a way to verify that your registration is in place? I bought Z2 through element5 in 2005. I’d hate to have problems downloading on the 15th because of some dumb data problem.
I bought ZB2 before release(1.55b) that was 2004, i still have my account.
Do you created one at 2005? (don’t remember if you had to create one or not.)
But to verify, i guess just email them and ask. 
The only Problem i could see maybe, is when your Email Adress has changed, and you did forget to update your Account with the new Email Adress.
In that case you need your old Messages from Element5 ect.
More information on the upgrade process will be posted Friday, in a new thread. For now, please hold all of your questions. If the new thread doesn’t answer them, contact [email protected] at that time.
Thanks. 
Thanks aurick, look forward to reading this info later on.
Thank you All at Pixologic, for this software, software is really not the word for this kind of work, maybe we can call this a piece of art. Really I hope that you can forget Mac os users, and also I say thank you so much to help me every days, with your piece of art to enjoy my simple life.

Cannot forget Mac Users !!! Of course…
Nah, go ahead, forget about them. puff gone. :lol:
btw you can edit your posts.
What forum will this thread be in?
I expect it will be a sticky in the main forum like this thred.
Being that it is Friday today…will the separate post go up today? It is Friday here in Hawaii…Seeing that folks are here from around the world…Friday could be quite relative.
Looking forward to the new release…like everyone else. Not surprising when it comes to a superlative product like Zbrush.
Thanks.

Can you give us an idea of how long after the Windows release on May 15th will the Mac version be available? Are we looking at days, weeks, months?
Is there a Mac version of zBrush3 currently in beta?
If I am a registered Mac user can I download and install the Windows version of zBrush3 on my Intel Mac until the Mac version is released?
The last question has been answered already. The answer was Yes.
