I bought Z2 in August 2006. Saw it at Siggraph; the way Pixo touted the never released 2.5, I thought it would be out in a couple of months… Wrong!
Pixo makes cool stuff, but their organization needs some basic training in integrity. You can lie to people only for only a little while. Brand loyalty is based on integrity.
Every time Pixo lies they dilute and damage the Pixologic brand.
There are several softwares that can do some of what ZBrush does. Some of these products sell for hundreds less than ZBrush. Eventually, Silo will do everything ZBrush does at the rate that program is being developed.
Pixo needs to learn to admit publicly that they have broken a promise, every time it happens. …and apologize. That is the only way integrity can be restored.
The only thing you really have in this life is your word. When you don’t keep it, you have nothing. No one will trust you or believe you.
Pixo needs to wake up!
