… or they should hire a couple more on contract until the mac version is completed… :td:
With a little modification I think the majority of those
items could be accomplished with some level of integration
inside of Maya. Imagine mudbox incorporated into maya
a la paintFX … hey, I’m entitled to dream… 
There has to be a point where maintaining a dozen
different production environments becomes
counter-productive. The trend is convergence.
Maybe they’ll release an update for Windows and also announce that they’re dropping Mac support… oh wait, they don’t have support for Mac anyway, so what is there to drop!?
As much as I love the Mac, and as eager as I am to have a working Mac ZBrush, this opinion is ridiculous. ZBrush has competitors, who are advancing their technology. Pixologic must advance their own technology, or else they’ll lose ground and become marginalized. That’s simply how the industry works. We have a right to expect that a promised product get finished. But we do not have a right to demand that they sink themselves, in order to do that. And if they ever see that that’s the choice before them, they’ll surely drop whatever portions of their business they see as the anchor dragging them down. Our goal should be to encourage them to want to develop for the Mac, and NOT to view us as a group of loonies demanding self immolation.
THIS would have been a great idea, though.
Companies that don’t change with the times always fail in the long run.
Windows is out OS X is the nice new chick in town!
Zbrush is leaving the back door open like Vista did of OS X.
I’ve replaced 10 home computers with MAC’s and we changed over to mac’s at work.
The pentagon is changing over to macs also. After being hacked so many times.
But my point is simple "Don’t give people one option, give them many. And make sure all options lead to the pixo people get paid!.

does any one else relate this thread to serving jury duty
or is it just me?
That seems logical. Maybe every single 2d, 2.5d, 3d, and C4d software company should just form a super alliance and release one single production environment with 2 interacting modes, 2d and 3d. It would have to be modular, where you only bought the features you need. The full blown drawing, vectoring, painting, modeling, sculpting, compositing, animating, movie studio would cost the flat fee of your soul. I think it’s fair to say that will never happen as long as the universe exists…
Personally, I can’t picture Pixologic, which appears to be a very private and tightlipped company, even considering for an instant, the idea of bringing in outside help. As we all well know, Pixologic is not about to give away any secrets.
Now that you mention it… The common element is tedium, I think. When you’re waiting a long time for something, the final hours are the worst. Jury duty, dentist’s waiting room, death row, ZB3 for Mac…
Oh, well, all part of life, I guess.
Too right.
I was thinking of the night before MacWorld in January.
But the night before MacWorld, I can go to bed knowing that even though I don’t know exactly what tomorrow will bring, it’ll be wonderful.
It’s with a very different feeling in the pit of my gut that I await tomorrow. Oh well. Other vendors will have cool stuff.
Just checking, trying to deduce when we might hear something. The Exhibition opens at 9:30 Pacific time, making it 10:30 for me, 12:30 on the east coast, and much later in the day for European time zones. If Pixo doesn’t put something on their website in the morning, I don’t know how we’ll be getting any news from their booth, unless someone volunteers to go there personally in spy mode with a laptop and an Internet connection.
I have an appointment to go to in the morning, so I won’t learn anything until I get home around two o’clock. I sincerely hope to log in here at that time and find the rest of you all frenetically apoplectic over something truly earth-shaking. 
Actually, I feel more like the defendant waiting anxiously for the jury to render their verdict, but the jury is deadlocked. They’ve been holed up in their chambers for months, and months, and months, with no word, no verdict. So, I nervously pace the floor of my cell, over and over again, waiting for their decision. Maybe tomorrow…
over at siggraph they’re thumbing thru the keys…taking a steady walk towards your cell…no stopping…just a slow, steady, sure footed
stroll…nothing you can do will stop them arriving at your door…
when they arrive and insert the key…turn it in the lock…you hear the
tumblers grind thru their rotations pulling back the bolt that’s sat so firmly
in the door frame for so long.
are they here to free you?
or
are they here to take you to the last room you’ll ever see…that only has windows and a vista too look at?
?
soon…no long now…
Any word from the Governor?..
I was referring to Autodesk’s product overlap, specifically.
i feel like a kid on christmas eve.
now, will dad come through with gifts for the family or will he fall off the wagon again the night before, go on a crack and whiskey binge, only to come home x-mas morning bearing no gifts and delivering a royal ass kicking to you and mom.
god i hope papa pixo has gifts.
aprox. 5 hours till the exhibition opens, then god knows how long till we hear anything, I can see it now:
“And for our very, very patient, but very, very revered mac community. We have a special surprise, due to the extremely long wait for Zbrush 3 for the Mac we are very pleased to finally say… here’s a keyring, if you turn it around it turns into a little cartoon Bobba Fett, the mac release will be soon, goodbye!”
Hopefully the verdict being a release rather than an execution!
What really sucks is that I’m in England so it will be tonight or tomorrow before I hear anything 
Same as Chris, EIRE here
