I also do not see any paint features for applying textures to the models.:td:
Just saw that also… Makes me a bit more frustrated waiting for 2.5 
Doesn’t mean there aren’t any.
Innovative streaming technology helps you work around the limitations of your hardware, allowing you to build and manage scenes of over 100 million faces!
:eek: …No fair. :rolleyes:
Weee, so when are we getting 2.5?
The cart is there, but I don’t think it’s for sale?

I did a search for the answer on the painting. None, not expected until future maybe 2.0. At least that is what was said in a Modo forum.
I think they are positioning themselves well with the pricing… Good idea to have a ‘not-for-profit license’. Let’s see how the market reacts.

It’s being discussed in the 3rd party application thread already…
Check it out.

I think the competition is a good thing, but at that price…and with the features of 2.5 that we know about, along with the fact that ZB is an established package with a large user base to draw from…why would many
companies go with mudbox? I’m not saying they will not…but even if it were to kick some serious zb booty, it would take at least a couple of years for the shift to happen.
How many people can you hire to do mudbox work today? What about the learning materials? I’m putting this in the modo column for great software…that already has stiff competition with longer usage histories.
mudbox DOES import 32bit as well…and have camera modes…but in the end is that enough to shift the user base?
I’ll have to try the demo and see- but right now I don’t see where the innovation is, only a bit more elegance. pixologic seems to be one of the last innovative mainstream 3D companies on the market.
The program, for better or worse, has been founded on thinking outside the quad setup box.
I just read this “review”-
http://www.totaldmag.com/final_dec.pdf#page=14
and have to ask how much mudbox will really have over zbrush in v.2.5? The complaints they have of zbrush in the article will basicly be addressed with 2.5- and then some. BTW- notice how much zbrush work is in the rest of that “magazine”?
Haha, Luxology is jumping onto the highres modeling bandwagon as well.

Oh boy now what to buy!?
I love the way luxology’s President, does a modcast and chats to people using well his software and talks about up coming events and posts the latest tutorials, and even before the modcast would have weekly updates of awesome shots of stuff done with modod accompanied with tutorials and then mudbox a program that isnt even out updating their website after being hacked, talking to users on cgtalk, creating a semi-public beta and doing articles for Vfxtalk and then the guys at Nevercenter doing a public beta and keeping up with people every fortnight and doing demo’s until the software is released.
but Zbrush does an update after a year of not speaking a word and then that it. Zbrush will always be the first and i havent moved elsewhere but over the past four months couldnt someone have said anything to us?
Even if Pixologic’s word is, within the next 6 months, i really feel they should say something.
Zbrush is an amazing piece of software, but if the reason you are not letting us little guys know about what and when is coming up because your afraid of someone stealing your idea, please get over it, at least now when you main competition is very near release.
If you make your software too precious and remain quite then people will go elsewhere. Thinking that well they said an update is coming, but that was ages ago, probably still trying to sort it out.
Especially when you hand out a beta to meats meier (awesome artist) and no mention of the program to us.
If i didnt care i wouldnt be so angry, so be happy im angry :). Im not that angry at how long it is taking, im mainly angry because you dont say anything and if you do we dont hear about it.
You could say your busy, but two minutes.
I think whenever you finally release and maybe look back at emails or comments like these your probably gonna go “you know what, keeping in touch with our users really helps in pre-sales and building a community (which in tunr leas to sales), plus we get awesome suggestions that the competition hasnt thought of, nor our very small beta team, hmmm this sound like a good idea, why didnt we do it earlier.”.
