I guess we all know this thread has gone to sh***t lol
another thing that i wud like to see and say woohooo to in 3.5 or possibly 4 is to see a nice hi rez icon for zbrush. The current one doesnt live up to pixologic’s standards 
enjoy the wait people!!!
E1, they posted this on the support center:
"The Pixologic offices are closed for Labor Day weekend. We will reopen on Tuesday morning at 9:00 Pacific.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!"
so i guess it answers your question…
Next time, pixologic should only pose closed threads for introducing new stuff, to avoid getting threads like this. I’m really afraid to see, how people can turn out when they not get what they want, even it is for free. :rolleyes:
Alot of people should just chill and respect all the effort that’s going into this great tool.
Peace
When you are new client it is not for free.
Pixologic is like those parents that are saying to kids “we will go to cinema” and then, when kid is all happy and counting minutes to go they say “sorry, but I need to go - next time, OK?”.
After few times of this I just see Zbrush like a genius child of parents who are jerks.
Things are not that serious.
Maybe the thread turned out because of people excitement for all the new stuff the update has, then people let off steam, and are making light of it, almost making fun of themselves.
I thinks everyone appreciates Pixologic for such a wonderful free update.
People are bugging out. I deal with execs often, they have fun sometimes also.
I don’t anybody is going kill anyone if the update is delayed, or get so mad that they never use zbrush again. People are just bugging out.
Happy Holidays to everyone.
Actually it helps to update our “ignore lists”
People who say things like “I’ve stopped all work until xxx comes out” obviously aren’t really in business in much of meaningful way. I’ve haven’t be able to stop work on anything in 25 years, certainly not because a software vendor delays their release.
Others that want to “lawyer” the release date down to the hour.
I think I saw another post with the concept of a “hunger strike” . . . precisely whom will that inconvenience?
Unlike many other firms, Pixologic has actually kept us informed of their changing development progress and targets. They actually released patches to one of their versions (the Mac 3.2 one) to fix some of the more critical bugs instead of forcing those to suffer through the development cycle. Their current versions work as well as Zbrush has ever had.
In terms of “in the dark” they have made a couple things clear already. They said they will delay the release a “few days”–annoyingly vague, but a few days is anything more than three in vernacular usage. It could be as much as a couple of weeks IMHO.
But, they have also said we “first week of September”, “upcoming week”, and most importantly invited support tickets if you don’t get an upgrade notice by September 9th (this coming Wednesday.) That would indicate to me that release will start the week of September 7th and the mailing should be done by September 9th.
How do I draw this incredible conclusion? The “first week” of a month (despite other posts on this forum) in business terms is often the first week of a month containing a MONDAY in that month. (Much like Church calendars contain Sunday as the first week.)
The upcoming week, though vague when you say it on Tuesday, if often the NEXT week (otherwise, in coming English/American vernacular, you would use the phrase “this week”.)
Of course the real clue for the clueless was “September 9th” which is the NINTH day of the month of September, which this year falls on next Wednesday.
Their is no mystery here. Even with all of these “clues”, I’d still put it at 50-50 that it comes out in the coming week. Pixologic is notorious virtually since its inception for altering its release dates until they are satisfied with the resulting product. Compared to past releases, this one has actually followed a fairly normal course of announce and delay a little bit that occurs in the software business. (Autodesk missed Mudbox Mac by many days as well and has missed many release targets in the past, Maxon doesn’t even pre-announce upcoming releases, Newtek has been all over the map, Adobe, Apple, Microsoft, etc., etc.)

I love ZBrush and can’t wait for my copy of 3.5!
The only problem I have with 3.5 is this… every time I watch the videos for it my mouth won’t close. It’s weird and sometimes I even drool!
Seriously, take your time Pixologic and get all those bugs out. Don’t like bugs.
When version V3 was late, I ranted and I honestly felt like all the people saying it was a “free” upgrade were wrong. I felt like, I paid for V2.5 and was told that payment included the upgrade to V3. I was pretty annoyed…
…BUT, when I finally got V3, and saw all the improvements, subtools, transpose, poly painting, matcaps, new brushes, etc. I became convinced the upgrade was totally worth the wait.
While I still don’t understand the logic behind announcing a release date before you’re ready to release, I did not expect to be getting free upgrades to 3.5 or 4 so I don’t feel entitled to anything.
I have little doubt this version is going to knock my socks off, just like the last one did, and that makes all this delay a very small price to pay for me personally.
Until the release, if you’re you’re feeling irritated, turn that energy in to something positve by channeling in to starting a new sculpt in the current version. Might make ya feel better, and hopefully, you’ll be able to finish it in V3.5 when it ships.
Can’t wait for this… too bad it’s still who knows how long for the Mac release! (at least i’ve got GoZ!)
God I love the speculation :D, i’m so nervous I could pee!!!
This is such a great forum; i love you guys… start a new sculpt is great advice!
BIG HUGZ TO ALL, chin up, grit teeth, you know it’ll be worth the wait in the end
Oooops, there you go, i did a little wee…
That is all my point here. Personally I dont care if Z3.5, Z4 or Z3.75 will be released tommorow or in 1 year. Zbrush is already great program and surely we can work effectively on it as it is.
Question is what the hell are you thinking, Pixologic, when repetitively announcing dates for release, while you have to know that you not gonna make it?! Is it some sort alien marketing strategy? Because hell - I cannot see any good coming with that.
And that is matter to discuss. Meanwhile people sounds like broken record: “But it will be awesome and free…But it will be awesome and free…But it will be awesome and free…But it will be awesome and free…”.
It will for Gods sakes! No one doubts in that part. It is changing nothing though in that idiotic teasing with no happy end that we are all facing here.
Wow a couple of people posting that they are a little annoyed but not a big deal. You act like they are about to commit suicide.
When ever Pixologic wants to release a “free” upgrade, I’m fine with it. 
Seconded!!!
It’s the nature of downloadable software. There’s no point in setting a future release date if you already have your product ready to release.
this is a great thread for getting ones post count up …
