Well, actually we have more hours to wait. Pixologic is located in LosAngeles, so, the European users, need to wait +8 hours. If here in Europe is 10:10 AM, in LA is only 02:10 AM. So, the europeans need to wait until 16 May. Why Im saying this? Simply. In pixolator.com, we can read: “… WE WILL RETURN AT MIDNIGHT OF MAY 15TH. SEE YOU THEN!”
Umm I bought ZB2 about an hour ago because my friend told me I could buy it up until tonight and get ZB3 for free, and I had been holding out for ZB3…
I can’t preregister…
Someone assure me I’m not screwed.
I’m pretty sure we will have to wait until midnight tonight (which is technically tomorrow) so start the clock at @ 22 hours from now.
Please let me be wrong…
You’re most definitly not screwed, just call tech support if thre’s a problem they’ll hook you up manually. When I bought Zbrush 2 a couple of months ago, it was when nobody could register Zbrush, but Pixologic fixed it.
Yup, you’ll have to wait ‘till midnight Pixo’ time.
They’ve changed pixologic.com with a little info and a nice pic ;

“WE WILL RETURN AT MIDNIGHT”
They sound like a bunch of vampires to me
You’re not screwed
It’s just, you can’t preregister automatically through the website form because your details are not yet in their database. Send support an email with your details (those asked for on the form) and hopefully they will have enough time today to sort you out manually.
@ Domingo Torres.
As long as you get your pop via element5 it will show you regestered ZB2 before ZB3 release, thoes are the conditions for the free update, so your be fine. I did read that later ZB2 orders will be handled manualy so your best to contact pixologic support ASAP.
Oh thank god. Now I can get some sleep. Thanks guys! I was seriously freaking there for a while.
damn, at midnight? so we europeans dont get it today, unless we dont go to bed till 8:00/9:00 am
Nobody gets it today. IF…and its still an assumption at this point, the software could be released prior to the new website…IF its released along with the new website at midnight, even in Pixologic’s timezone thats technically the 16th.
But you’ve already been waiting a year and a half (or 3 years depending on your outlook)… whats one more day? A single day past the announced release date is speedy in Pixologic terms.
no it isnt. the last 24 hours are/were the longest in my life. now, i have to wait another 24 hours.
Just what you can expect from software developers nowadays.
Seriously, May 15th 24:00 hrs is really May 16th 00:00 hrs.
Relax! Even if it was released right now it can still take a few days until everybody can download it. It’s best not to think too much about it until then.
I think someone needs to tell these guys that midnight is the First minute of a day, not the last.
but this does put it even closer to my birthday.
Meh, if Pixo gets around to releasing it any time this month, Ill be happy. It would be a marked improvement over their last announced release date. Those who weren’t around two decembers ago don’t know what heartbreak is.
Feh! Only a day after the announced date?
Darn kids. In my day we had to wait years for a new software release!
Lazy good fer nuthin kids want everything handed to them on a silver platter.
And stay offa my lawn! <shakes fist><pushes walker back inside nursing home>
Good lord it has taken a while, hasn’t it.
Another day won’t kill us.
Anyway, I have another toy to keep me busy! I just found out the PC version of the game “Roboblitz” comes with the Unreal Engine 3 editor. Purchased that yesterday and highly recommend it! It’s a great way to show off those Zbrushed game models you’ve all been working on. Not sure yet if you can bring skinned meshes in, but you can at least show normal mapped static meshes. The material editor is to die for, at least for a game engine. I don’t know why this makes me excited, as I work with the darn thing for a living. It’s just cool to be able to use it at home now
Happy waiting day!
How do you get (buy) the Unreal Engine 3 editor, and how much is it…
… a problem for pixologic can be the downoad, as more people are waiting, as more traffic they have and maybe for many people the delay is some more days, if anybody want download the traffic goes to 0.01 kb or something in that level…
You can get the unreal editor with the latest Unreal game UT3, and evidently the Roboblitz game as well. It’s a very cool and user-friendly system (if not a bit challenging at first). You can import almost any mesh from Max, XSI or Maya into it, and create your own worlds. Very cool! There are video tutorials available on the web, too. I haven’t checked them out lately, as I am in “animation” land, not game development so much.
Can’t wait until midnight. Hear Big Ben ticking? (Okay, the “big ben” in California…)
