I should probably post this in the feedback and troubleshooting forum, hope this is OK. I’ve downloaded the 1.55 demo twice and keep getting errors when unzipping:
“An error has occurred while writing the extracted file to disk.” if I attempt to run the program I then get a long series of “unable to open file” errors related to various items in a non-existant “ZResources” folder. i.e. “C\ZBRD155\ZBRUSHDEMO\ZResources\Images\LightMaps\DefaultDiffuse” etc, followed by an access violation crash. I’m running Win2K sp3.
???

Thank you,

What unzipping utility are you using? I would recommend WinZip (www.winzip.com). Be sure that the “Use Folder Names” option is checked in the Extract dialogue box.

Also, are you using any kind of download aid/companion program? Some of those can mess up the download.

Finally, if you have any antivirus software running, it could conceivably interfere with the extraction since there is of course an executable in the folder. Try disabling it before unzipping.

I’ve gone no further than cubic mapping yet, I’ve been having so much fun… I’ve been as truely engrossed in it as with anything else I’ve done before in my life. Theres such an ocean of possibilities , and I know that zbrush goes as deep as I go (and, then so often it seems 10x deeper)…

A seemingly endless number of incredible images and entirely new sensations, I’m telling you, for me, zbrush brings DISCOVERY and INSPIRATION in BUCKETS!! And they call it software… HA! Hardcore mind/talent expansion is what I call it!!

Thanks yet again pixologic. Your right up there next to Darwin on my list. Keep it up :slight_smile:

wow!
I have been dying to try out this new version,and man,it doesn’t disapoint.
zspheres are incredible,i have seen nothing like it in any other 3D app .
i look forward to purchasing this as soon as i can squeeze enough money from my budget(new home,missus and sprog to feed :slight_smile:
but in the meantime i’m gonna have plenty fun learning all the new features.
excellent job with the zscript tutorials too,
definately eases the new features learning curve.i am totally engrossed right now.
many thanks to Pixolator and Zcrew .

#17

What good news !! :eek: :eek: :eek:
Tnx Pixolator !!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

#18

Looks good, Mr. Pix! Opening with the new default ZScript is a great idea, with the thumbnail pics as doors into the various tours and tutorials :+1: I believe this will provide a very friendly introduction to new users.

I think I’ll be up late tonight … :sunglasses: :smiley:

#19

I’ve returned with another silly question.
Now that I’ve downloaded the demo, do I re-register it to unlock displacement mapping?
Or, should I keep it separate from my currently registered 1.5 and wait for the full release of 1.55?

Thanks,

#20

Our demos don’t “unlock” to become full versions. They are their own version.

The preview features from the demo will be included in the bonus upgrade to version 1.6, which will be made available to you as an existing ZBrush owner for free as soon as it’s ready.

#21

Dognoe: I don’t think Displacement maps is in the demo.

#22

In the 1.55 Demo the Displacement Mapping feature is located in TOOLS>MODIFIERS>DISPLACEMENT…but it looks as if it is disabled… :frowning:

#23

The displacment panel doesn’t appear with a primitive.

#24

My first experiment with the new morph feature:

With this and ZSpheres we’re about ready for easy animation in ZBrush! :slight_smile:

#25

I am supposed to have 1,51 registred version …and my serial number is still expired today .I begin to ask if i finally got only the demo.Actual registred users will they receive commercial version of 1,5 with a permanent serial number?Thanks

:small_orange_diamond: Hello Martial. I have sent an email to you directly. --aurick

#26

Martial, the permanent serial numbers will be issued when the bonus upgrade (v1.6) is released, which is supposed to be soon.

#27

Hey Aurick–do you have any idea when the upgrade for the registered version of ZBrush will be available? Just curious. The new features in the demo are pretty slick…
