Siggraph is in 24 days. Less than a month. They (Pixologic) had better at least get Z3.x for Mac out by then.
… or else what? … Here is the problem.
point
That wasn’t an ultimatum. I have no power to give those since Pixologic already has my $500. I was just thinking that they’d better or else many people are going to be very unhappy. Why else would they have a 30’x30’ booth at Siggraph 2008?!?
I could always ask for a refund (I guess).
If they hope to charge for whatever they eventually release… I’d say we Macusers will feel very P***ed off
On the Money!
Overall I think we will be pleased with what Pixologic sends us. Even with the talk of charging us extra simply because we will have 2 licenses will fade once we get the software on our Macs. Though I have to admit, watching the Mudbox demo was an eye opener. I remember Commodor 64 days, this **** has come a long way!
I can’t wait anymore… had to go buy vista 64.
You make me sad.
I just pop in from time to time to check if there have been any new release dates menioned for zb3 for mac. Last I heard was march, has there been any indication since? Sorry if it’s been mentioned earlier, but I can’t be bothered to trawl the thread.
next press release will ‘most possibly’ be around siggraph 2008 which is aug 12th [start of siggraph]
Well, I’ve been watching this thread for a very long time, and not really wanting to join in lest I simply add fuel to the fire.
At first I was enamored with ZB, seeing all the magnificent work being done by all the wonderfully talented folks here, and especially so since I am such a big fan of Rick Baker’s work, being a ‘famous monsters’ nut myself.
Well, I purchased ZB2 for Mac along with the Mac license back in September '07, and after a long time of trying to run it on an Intel Mac, finally just gave up and decided to wait for the new Mac release.
In '07 I was told it would be released sometime in December '07. Then it became March '08, and then April/May, and most recently all I’ve been able to get out of Pixo is ‘it’s in beta’ and ‘probably be very soon’. Two more months will be a year I’ve owned software I haven’t been able to use.
So, being the absurdly patient person I am, I thought I might buy these news ZB books out on the market and at least study the blessed thing, but then it occurred to me that I was already ‘out’ $500 for software that gives all appearances of being good old ‘vaporware’. I don’t believe that it is, but it is on my mind.
Here’s the thing. I’ve written to Pixo many, many times over the past year asking very nicely for ANY information they might have regarding the Mac release. They have ALWAYS responded to my emails, and always said ‘soon’. I don’t believe Pixo is brushing off the Mac market. It’s too big, and they’d stand to lose face as well as customer base.
I am sincerely hoping the reason for this long wait is that the new version of ZB will be released in Universal Binary. It makes perfect sense, accounts for the very long wait we’ve all tolerated, and Pixo would never again have the problem of writing for two different platforms.
I am hoping that’s the reason. Let us be patient, and pray.
Crap in one hand and wish in the other? Let me know how it goes, which one fills up first?
Your response is PRECISELY the reason I haven’t posted anything in this thread previously.
Totally unnecessary. Sometimes it’s better to say nothing, rather than be rude and crude.
