probably you know…the gem always take its time:D
Well, I think it’s about 11 pm on the 27th in LA where Pixologic are based so we shouldn’t have long to wait. 
F-day. I mean Fiber day :lol:
I had the opportunity to look at Topogun the other day, and I have to say that I was really impressed; it was like retopology using zspheres, but much easier, especially in just being able to see what on earth i was doing.
Having said that, the images I’ve seen from Verold make it look like an even easier way to retopo that Topogun. The price, ability, ease of use, etc are still unknown, but having used Topogun all it took was another look at the images from Verold to get me excited again. I’m really looking forward to the beta.
… and as an aside, my typing really does suck first thing in the morning, lol. I had to edit this post sooo much :lol:
Does anyone have R3 yet? I was half expecting an email in the inbox this morning (England) still nothing grrrrrrr…
As for retopo, I use 3D-Coat which I think is unbeatable at the moment for retopoing and has the Auto retopo feature which is an amazing tool for creating low poly animatable characters with no brain power required at all which I use all the time now. Plus you can get the Edu version for $99 which gets you everything you need to retopo, paint, model on pc, mac or linux. I was going to wait for Verold and QRemesher but that was a month or so ago and I can have the tools now I need to get animating. ZBrush and 3D-Coat make a very strong team!
Now after all that rambling… do I have an email?.. hmmmm
Pixologic are on the west coast of USA so it’s still the middle of the night there.They have sometimes released updates right at the end of their day so could be tomorrow before you get an email
I very recently asked Pixologic on Twitter how R3 would be distributed amongst users and the reply was the upgrade would be available for all on the download center. Should still be today. So no need to wait for a personal invitation. When it’s ready, it’s ready for everyone. 
I always thought pixelogic were based in France or did they move to the U.S. at some point ( guess the answer to this is yes I just wondered when and why)?
Never heard about that. For me , it has been founded by Pixolator ( /bow ) and Jack Rimokh back in 1997 in L.A.
which demonstrate quite well what a talented and passionnated individual can offer to the worldwide cg community!
haha ! you were wrong about this, pixologic is always been based at USA and not at France ^^ they probably come at France for special event like “Japan Expo” for sharing the new zbrush 4 and some demonstration with artist. (which i did tested during that japan expo with their cintiq ) which it did happen some years ago.
by the way, i can’t wait to get that new version
Some Pixologic members live outside USA : Thomas Roussel lives in France. Et oui ! 
Then I stand corrected 
Thanks for the info… Now where’s the update !
cant wait! by the way for those of you looking at topogun it is awesome. It used to be quite buggy but since the 2.0 beta its a joy to use.
Topogun 2.0 > all
It’s a challenge for Verold to meet the level of TG, in terms of price and functionnalities
Are we there yet?
No Gareee…go back to your room
Aw man, I usually don’t remember when a launch day is. Now I have to wait patiently instead of remembering the next day that, “Oh yeah a new ZB is out.”
Le sigh…
Odds are it’ll be midnight again. I wish they’d just lie to us, and tell us Feb 29th, and then release it midnight on Feb 28th.
No.
hehehehehehe… bloody hell its awful isint it? I cant wait either
Past release dates have always been frustrating and usually delayed I hope this one isn’t. I to also forget all the release dates until this patch
