Woop!

DĆ©jĆ  vuā€¦ i saw similar news here 1 year ago, and everyone remember, that pixologic did zb3.5 release at the autumn 2009. So I think we should wait a little more then 1-2 months. Hope Iā€™m wrong. Anyway, great news. And very important event for the future of zb. If it zb4 will be not so successful, there is risk to lose positions in production. Autodeskā€™s production cycle much smaller than Pixologicā€™s one. Hope, for a bright future for zb.

They have announced an actual date not just a month. Historically this means it will come on that date this time. Its only when they mention just a month as a date that it usually means its unlikely.

great news, but so sad that goZ doesnā€™t support XSI :cry:

#66

Really looking forward to 3DConnexion Navigator Support and Paint Layers.
Thats all I really lookforward to actually.

But I love surprises!

#67

great news, but so sad that goZ doesnā€™t support XSI

Yeah, I am also bummed about that one. Come on, how about a little love for us XSI/Softimage users?

#68

Now the question of the simultaneous release!!! Either way This is going to be great! Canā€™t wait to try out zsketch and hard surfaces, and of course whatever will be added to the 4 version!

#71

WHO CAN WAIT??? who?!
plz make that mud-whatā€¦ really muddy :smiley:

#72

This is Great news but please no more random innovative features. I would be happy to pay for an update to fix some existing features.

Will there finally be support for:


  • Painting in Layers (similar to PS, Bodypaint or Mari ;)?


  • True texture painting (no more polypainting)?

  • Being able to disable/enable a Mask (not having to use the generate from Mask hack)? and NO I donā€™t mean hide/unhideā€¦


  • Sculpting layers on any subdivision level?


  • Fixed Displacement map export bugs?

  • .OBJ Multiple Morph support, similar to how Lightwave can store morphs (not just the default one slot Morph store we have nowā€¦)


  • Multiple UVā€™s (not multiple UVā€™s the way XSI and Maya support them in seperate UV space shells. Proper multi UV layers, same UVā€™s different size for baking across models etc)


  • A UV Viewer
Either way great news Pixologic, ZBrush is the master of all Applications and paved the way for CG artists to be able to sculpt in 3D.

#73

Good newa, looking forward :slight_smile:

#74

Yeh great news.

Two questions.

Will there be more info on features before then?
Will there be LW support added for GoZ at some point?

Well done and thanks.

#75

I cant wait yayayayayaya

#76

Iā€™m not a coder or anything , so this may sound dumb , but would cuda support speed things up even further ? of course it could be deactivated if you canā€™t get it working as it should ā€¦

but enough requests , pixologic always had innovations innovations that I never thought of and that amazed me in the past ā€¦ like most people in here ā€¦ canā€™t wait ā€¦ but Iā€™m sure it will be amazing ā€¦

#77

Iā€™ve definitely got a woody :smiley: great job guys!!

Good news! Thanks Pix!

For those asking about Lightwave and XSI GoZ plugins, from what Iā€™ve heard the GoZ plugin is developed jointly between Pixologic and the other software developer so itā€™s up to Newtek and Autodesk as much as Pixologic whether a plugin becomes available.
