#281

AFAIK, non so far, but its Weta they cant go wrong!

#282

Happy to see that you’ve edited your post SonK. You will find that personal attacks are not tolerated. I am not a troll thankyou-so-very-much-I-don’t-think. I feel VIOLATED by this insinuation.

ps. All joking aside, what game has started to unfold in this thread? I would be happy to see an end to it.

#283

You’re completely misusing the term.

In internet forums specific to a show or product, often times an outsider will sign up to praise the competition or point out why they don’t like this thing everyone’s congregated to talk about. They do this with the express goal of angering as many people as possible, because let’s face it, it’s pretty funny to watch when you don’t care about that thing yourself.

We call this "trolling", and the instigators "trolls". <i>(of historical note, the term actually comes not from mythology or folklore, but rather [a strategy for attracting fish](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling). It might qualify as an antonym to "Fishing for Compliments") </i>

At this moment, Antimorph has 413 posts here on this forum. He’s been here for over three years. SonK has 14 posts since signing up nine months ago. Active member of the community vs. relative outsider. If either one is a troll, it ain’t Antimorph.

Also? You're responding to his call for peacekeeping action. Against you. *shrug*

Spend more time coding, less fussing. Get it done!

#285

lets hope it gets done by Christmas time, likewise with Modo/Maxwell, i really need all 3. Check back in late december.

#286

I think your main point was that you’re anxious to get your hands on it because you’re unhappy with ZBrush’s interface, and workflow for sculpting.

(you're welcome to your opinion, but let's not pretend that part was incidental -- it's the crux of your argument) <i>Why does nobody think we read their old posts in this thread?</i>

I didn’t say you were a troll. What I said was that it was foolish to call Antimorph one in view of the evidence. This particular accusation’s legitimacy can be evaluated on the basis of post count. I stand behind that.

No need to get defensive about it. Surely, this adds to the parody?

Funny… I think most users will tell you that’s why they post often.

Watch where you put your tongue when you say that. :o

#287

I really hate to delete or edit posts, but recent events in this thread have left me no choice.

Please keep this thread on the topic of ZBrush’s continued development.

Arguments are better held privately. Personal attacks against other members are never tolerated.

Thanks. :slight_smile:

As for the question of what is happening with ZMapper and ZBrush 2.5, the decision was made to add some very exciting additional features. This has thrown the Roadmap somewhat off schedule, and more information will be given by us when we can.

We continue to be dedicated to delivering the very best tools for your ongoing CG needs.

#288

Better and better, let’s wait for the best! :+1:

#289

Yes! :+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:
Nothing against some free goodies hahaha.
Lemo

PS:Are we there yet? :laughing:small_orange_diamond:laughing:small_orange_diamond:laughing:

#290

Sorry, but the fact that this thread isn’t a sticky anymore is really discouraging :frowning:
Just what are they trying to tell us? Or is it all in my head:question:

#291

Make it sticky like honey. Make it sticky like sugar soaked coffee on your toes. Make it sticky like molasis in your hair. Make it sticky like the bark of a freshly cut evergreen tree in your bare hands. Make it sticky like you mean it!

#292

yeah! what tgraupmann said…

#293

Kudos, aurick, your pretty fair and balance as a mod(i mean that). I hope the new feature doesnt throw ZB 2.5 way off course, i mean a late January release is acceptable!given the new intel. :+1:

what smokebox46and2 said! sticky it again!

#294

bummer on the news, I was hoping so bad for the armature plugin so I could give some action to other things I have done. though hopefully the new things include using something like metal ray for rendering along with animation. one can only hope!!!

#295

Please no more features save them for Z3. I like what I have seen so far.
ANd like a spoiled kid I want Z2.5 for Xmas :lol:

#296

Now if they are adding cloth then what hell take as long as you like.

#297

“All I want for Xmas is my two front teeth” made out of 15+ million polygons…
I don’t wanna be toofless this Xmas :frowning:

#298

I’d like ZBrush to handle 64k textures for X-Mas! Up the max from 4096x4096.

#299

Re: cloth…
In a way, they are adding that. We’ve watched Pixolator model some on top of a character. But if you’re looking for a physics simulation, that’s… less applicable.

Re: resolution…
4096^2 = 16,777,216 pixels. Which pretty much gives you a 16.8 million cap on vertices you can displace or normals you can orient. Meaning, that elephant either blends several maps, has a higher texture resolution than is currently possible, or has one of the most efficient UV layouts ever.

Re: the armature plugin…
Huh? I think you imagined that one.

Re: stickiness…
Why? Can you not find this thread otherwise?

#300

I’ll wait patiently for the new features but, please, try to get it out for Christmas!!!:+1:
