Which platform do you primarily use ZBrush with? (Mac or PC)

Let’s not get personal, folks.

I think you will find that this thread was started to get an idea of how many Mac owners were using ZBrush compared to PC. I guess to try and find out how much in the minority the Mac users were.
I checked the Apple site and couldn’t find a monitor for multi thousands of dollars.

too many mac lovers here jeje

im using mac in my house but in the worlplace we use windows

Waiting for the Mac version to start using ZBrush :rolleyes:

TJX - the way I interperet a comment like ‘windows kills
my creativity’ is not a slam to the OS, just personal pref.
Ideally you can work and be creative on any platform,
limiting yourself to one tool - like I can only build a shelf
if I have a Makita, Dewalt just kills my motivation or
something like that just means that you’re very
particular. Artists are a needy, excentric group-
I can testify to this.

I think we should just all agree that whatever
you yourself are using is just fine- and do our best
to increase each others ability and understanding.
Progressive vs. regressive.

Like was said earlier, we shouldn’t attribute the failings
of individuals to something as ubiquitous as an OS.
The Mac vs. PC debacle is paralleled only by politics
and religion in grievous, futile bickering.

The house divided falls, something like that?
As people we should be very frugal about drawing lines.

btw. Aurick, whut up! Any news brotha?? :wink:

Talk about touching a raw nerve. Jeez - some of you Mac guys are really sensitive.
Although I may be abrupt and abrassive in my comments and my social skills are that of a rattler snake - I tell it as I see it and comments like “what major movie did one work on” are typical of these types.
(I actually work in the TV and advertising industry and not in the adolescent catering games industry) If we could get into the films industry we would be very happy to do so but that is not practical at the moment for our group.
The opportunity may present itself but the movie industry in Europe is a wee bit different to KALIFORNICATION country and a lot less financial too.

MY MAIN COMMENT was to give advice so that those who may be losing a lot of sleep and work time while waiting for a MAC version could get a PC and start to produce stuff NOW.
So making a solid stand against this MAC religious fervour and all its over the top self engrandisement was in my opinion totally justified and I stand by what I said no matter who tries in vain to make smarty arse comments about me.
If I was Pixologic I would just scrap the entire MAC developemnt and try to make a single and “totally working PC” version. Now that would be a good thing. I also want to remind you that the MAC people are the ones constantly complaining about Pixologics Mac release date and not the PC people who are happily working away which is all I am saying - If you want to use ZB 3.1 you can do it right NOW - on a PC.

It’s really simple bro. It’s about having to buy and run 3rd party software to keep hackers and virues out. For some reason movie fan sites like to try to break in to studios to try to get plates of the new and up and come movie. When had a guy break into our studio through a quake server once. It never ends and it just seems that windows and hacking get along really well.

Peace 2 you.

Peace to you too sir, but I believe it’s the Internetz and hijacking that go well together. As long as your connected to the rest of the world, people will attempt to break in. It’s the reality of the internet. The reason for getting third party security software is as simple as people locking the doors of their houses - there will always be some thug trying to break in.

Doesn’t sound like you’re happily working. :lol:

(just to remind you :wink: )

I manage to work just fine with ZBrush on a Mac whilst you on a PC can’t seem to get it to work and blame Pixologic for it. Oh the irony. :lol:

:lol: :lol:

sweet… Give them enough rope… they’ll hang themselves!

hye lone deranger, what u use on your mac? parallel, bootcamp, vmfusion… cuz i’m using parallel and i gotta give it 1.4 gigas on the ram which makes the rest of my comp really slow and it’s not going fast at all when using zbrush, takes a while to open, big while…

any tips?

maybe buy more RAM?
I got an 8gig kit for around $250 on my macpro
a couple months ago.

Cruise over to dealram.com and check it out.
You can never have too much + it’ll be all the
better when you’re running native.

LOL!!! o my freakin GOD!!! 8 gig ram!!! LOL that’s the most i’ve “heard” from a home comp lol… guess technology is going up and up… sniff… damn university why u cost so much… guess i’ll chekc it out… thanks fofr the info

:+1: :+1:

Folks, please take a step back and count to ten. If this thread continues in the manner that it’s going in right now, I’ll have no choice but to lock it. I do NOT want to do that, so please behave.

Thanks.

Hi BANND,

what Super Glitcher said! :slight_smile: (Using Parallels btw).

It should have been locked the moment the snotty Mac people started bashing Windows. I say lock this thread now so that everyone, PC and Mac users, can get back to work.

Umm the guy was talking about working on ZBrush AND 3DS MAX. He has no problem with getting ZBrush alone to work, just getting it to work alongside 3DS MAX. Therefore your come back is pretty weak as the post has less to do with ZBrush on the PC and more to do with 3DS MAX. You’ve proven nothing at all.

Perhaps it might be wise to prune the problem at the source.

its funny how this thread turned out to be mostly what i said it would, i’m surprised the mods even let it get this far. i honestly don’t even see why a poll needs a discussion, its binary, which platform do you use, simple as that. getting into the why’s and how’s always lead to these type of arguments and i’m wondering as to who they benefit, if there is such a thing.
btw when i was a kid i only ate the chocolate out of neopolitan :wink:
