oh… They have programmers? :lol:
I don’t know if it’s plural or not… not even unofficially
But seriously… aurick, I will send you a box of krispy kremes
for an update- first thing in the morning… c’mon buddy!!
Maybe they have 10 programmers all typing with one finger :lol:
Programmers eating doughnuts and not doing the programy thing.
Lonely Mac looking for companion. Someone dark and handsome. Must like Wacoms. Non Windows preferred. Contact Box 1337.
A thousand monkeys with a thousand computers and eventually they’ll program the mac release… hehe
What? Pixo have a thousand monkeys? Do they fly? More importantly, were they stolen from the Adobe 64-bit Mac Photoshop development team?
monkeys?? man, u guys are bananas
I can’t beleive matt didn’t want the doughnuts.
How is it even possible for someone to pass up
free krispy kremes???
This situation is starting to get a little silly.
aurick, where did you go?
Please say something.
i am running zbrush 3 using Parallel but i cant get my wacom to work right can you help me.
This is a well known problem with parallels. You have to turn on mouse ghosting (the one with lots of mouse pointers) but turn it way down so you won’t have the dizzying effect. You will still have some issues but it’ll be way more workable.
If you want to spend more money you could buy fusion. For me it’s way better than parallels and the wacom works as it supposed to.
Bull%^@#, we do not want to spend more money to get ZB run on a Mac. We don’t like windows. We only want information from Pixologic now!
We users, also Mac-users, made ZB what it is now. What’s software without users?
(Really P#-off)
“What’s software without users?”
wow i feel like i just entered TRON, cool.
Anyone here tried ZB3 on Crossover for Mac, I hear it will work but there are some problems with activation which apparently you can get round. I don’t know any more details than that, can anyone help?

Your contributions showing the versitility of ZBrush are outstanding. It amazes me that Pixologic treats an artist of your obvious skill in such an offhand manner. Your work, as well as that of many others, inspired me to get Z 2.0.
For me, it was an easy choice. I already had an intel mac and I couldn’t go without ZB3 as I knew I’d make up the cost of the XP Pro license with increased productivity. Using windows isn’t that bad. Especially only for 1 app. But for hobbyists that don’t make much money from it, I can sympathize. It’s a long wait for you guys.
Although I feel it a little bit as well, since I cannot use ZAppLink yet since all my other apps are on the Mac partition of the drive. But hopefully it’s not too much longer.
That still leaves most PPC users on the sidelines, as well
as those that aren’t interested in funding M$ tyranny.
My company pays for my seat at work, but I purchased
a license for home use too - not going to buy a Windows
license just to run zB you know? On some level that seems
self-defeating… if the problem is programmers, charge
more for the product and hire more programmers- the
product is worth it. I’d rather give that XP Pro license
money to pixo for a timely release than to M$ to
compensate development time- I can’t be certain but
I don’t think I’m alone on that one.
Hoping this ‘bump’ is an anomaly in version history
at any rate.
Waiting is a drag, but waiting in the dark is worse
Would be great if MudBox was on OSX.
Unfortunately, PPC users were left on the sidelines a few years ago by Apple. Quite frankly I’m amazed that Leopard actually works on my G4 Gigabit box. Although I have since removed it and restored 10.4.11 That’s my Zbrush 2 machine.
XP Pro SP2 can be had for around $80 for the OEM version. For a legitimate registered license. That’s what I bought for my MacBook so I could run BootCamp and Parallels. (All my peecee friends say to stay away from Vista, which is fine by me.) That’s my Zbrush 3 machine.
It all comes down to pro vs. hobby. I can see why a hobbyist might be put off. But a professional has to fork over the cash to stay competitive, like it or not.
And a MacIntel is the perfect business solution. Hence its steady increase in sales in the Corporate world. Ironically it appears to be the most stable and fastest Vista platform right now. I’m saving my pennies for a MacBookPro.
I totally understand, my point is that while it works,
it’s still a band-aid approach. I feel compelled to be
forward-looking, and would prefer that pixo be internally
capable of supporting it’s user base without offloading
could-be profits to another software vendor to compensate
for development time. I am a complete laymen when
it comes to software development and am probably totally
out-of-line/waiting to be corrected, but I do know that
many companies are doing concurrent releases on
multiple OS’s. I know that the Intel transition will
speed things up, but it seems a pity to me that we’re
to divert software money to M$ instead of pixo, to
run a pixo app? … because of development time
I completely understand the argument from the pro/
consumer standpoint. Even if I had chosen to buy a
license of XP, the argument of development capital
still seems like a legitimate one to me.
just some thoughts!
