Sneak peek #2 of ZBrush 4R2

wow nice!! Thanks bro!! :smiley:

Oh yes please! :slight_smile: That new wax modifier looks yummy!

Are there any updates for texturing/polypainting, etc inside Z4r2?

What was that:eek:? Man, Zbrush is taking it all, can’t wait to see the new stuff.
Once again Pixologic, AWESOME!!!

HOLY CRAP AND HELL!!! :eek:

Mind Massively Blown!!

you know this looks great, wonderful, it really does, and I cant wait. I hate to rain on your parade, but I cant help feeling a tad disappointed. and I hate to moan cos this is a fantastic piece of kit, it really is, I use it all day every day.

but what I really want is for you to patch the existing software… less crashes, less freezing… a copy that works better on 64 bit machines… automask features that all work! alpha import from the light box that goes to alpha rather than texture docs… stuff that should already be there, or that is there but dosent work.

Ive had 4 crashes today, trying to divide a small 120k mesh while part of it is masked. Im using this to make a living, and its costing me time I dont want to waste.

after 4 crashes every time I try to do something the software reminds me again this is an undoable operation… etc etc etc… god why cant we turn those F******** messages off?!

please… the lovely gizzmos and innovations are great, but lets fix the ones that exist first… :frowning:

Your sentiments are echoed by everyone, I really do hope they fix the bugs. I think the memory cap with being limited to addressable memory, i.e not being 64 Bit is a severe limitation that contributes to crashes with high poly meshes.

I have read a comment in another thread on ZBC by a guy saying that according to the Pixo sales reps at siggraph this year it’s 99% certain that R2 will be 64bit. I really hope he’s right…makes you wonder though - is the 1% negative opinion just some uninformed fool or perhaps this statement is to keep us all in suspense until the actual release?

The 1% might be a 128bit option :wink:

Yes…Yes…Yes, Can’t wait!

I have to believe that if 64 bit were in the cards, they would be tooting that horn pretty loudly. Hope I’m wrong.

Are we still on track for release next Tuesday? It’s been pretty quiet.

wowow this is awesome Cant wait for zbrush 4r2 to come out next tues if only they have ptex support I wont touch m***** for it but like all the programs . did i hear 64 bit?

I look forward to testing out the new features but whet did they fix in R4.0 in regard to stability and bugs ? The deformation parameters have been pain in crashing me out consistently since I first installed.

I am aware of the change list in ZBrush 4R2 but as for bugs and fixes ?

I’m happy to see 64 bit is on the cards but I’m not predicting that an R5 is going to be any sooner than what most expect.

Will be interesting to try out the new tools and features.

ps
I’m on Windows 7 64 Bit

Will zBrush 4.0 owners get the upgrade for free?

Yes it’s a free upgrade to R2 and most likely to 5

You guys are not human…

I know this is going to be an odd question probably, but but I was LOVING the music as much as seeing the amazing new ZBrush stuff. :smiley:

Does anyone know what that soundtrack is behind the video?

I was about to ask the same question…

I was also very taken with the music, and was very surprised that absolutely nowhere has it posted. It took a couple hours of searching. One person mentioned it sounding like Two Steps from Hell, and it is, in fact, Two Steps from Hell’s Love & Loss, off of the album Archangel. You can get it on itunes and maybe amazon.

May i know how to use the boolean feature?
thanks in advance.
