ZB3 CountDown thread

Yep, better than style tools, that just bloats the tasks unnecessary. :wink:

btw don’t throw stones at me for the edits in my posts, i have often to rephrase the text(as long i’m fine with that what i really want to say), because my english is crap.

Yeah that’s nice, thanks Pixelsoul! :smiley:

Yeah, am thinking now that not getting a reply to the email I send to support means I won’t be getting my copy soon. Also concerned that it’ll probably end up taking a few weeks before things calm down enough for us all to get our downloads and things to get sorted out. Anyone know how much of this whole processing is being done by Pixologic and how much by Element 5?

Am hoping that they have things coordinated together enough so that my codes from Element 5 will be enough to prove I bought the software, seeing as my coupon code is way out of date (having had formats and what not to deal with over the years). Suspect it won’t be the 15th I’ll be getting my update!

I had no problem at all in talking to Element5 and getting my account data back active. And I only had a couple of email addresses and a rough purchase date to tell them. Go, give element5 a ring or try and log into your account there. I bet that the Pixologic support is swamped.

45 minutes before May 15th down here. I’m going to get my party-hat!

Windows is ugly but you can make it nice with Windowblinds, I can’t live without it. It’s fast, skins everything and has hundreds of themes. It’s not free, but it’s worth the money if you hate the look of Windows.

I reckon it will be about this time tomorrow before ZB is released in England. But it will be well worth the wait.

Haven’t been this excited about something computer-related since I purchased an Amiga 500 in the 80’s.

Almost there!!

I got my confirm email immediately, but I’m just hoping server burden doenst shut a lot of people out anyways. I would have liked to see some ā€œpre loadingā€ for registered users, to dillute the release day bandwidth demand. The file is probably well under 500 mb…maybe it wont be a big deal…am I being paranoid?

Maybe Im overestimating the demand too…I suppose its possible not everyone in the world is going to be trying to download the program at the same time tomorrow. I suppose its possible that there are one or two people in some part of the world without easy access to electricity who may not even be intetrested in zb3. I cant understand that myself…Im even starting to dream in that cool new reddish default shader… and they are making those solar powered, hand-crank laptops…but I suppose its mathematically possible…

Back to creating some nice clean base meshes for zbrushing tomorrow, to keep busy. Have a good night everyone and try to get some sleep, you’ll need it over the coming days.

WOOHOOO!!!

It’s May 15th down here! Start the music! Flex your fingers! Now the waiting is for our special guest to arrive and get this party going.

-tries to get some sleep-

I’m an hour earlier than LA (AST Alaska Standard Time). I figure since they are in California the release will come either at midnight their time or 9AM PST tomorrow. Either way I should be downloading before work.

Why am I acting like a groupie. :o

Even if I get it, I won’t have time to play until Friday or Saturday:cry: Oh well, I don’t relay need sleep anyway.

Not wanting to put a downer on things, but don’t forget that several of the recent trailed announcements have actually come at the very end of the possible timeslot - for example the pre-order page went live just before midnight on the day it was promised… Don’t think that I’m complaining, since Pix have been good to their word every time, but there could still be 30+ hours to go…

:wink:

Absolutely! :stuck_out_tongue:

ZB in the past has been a 20-30Mb download.

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but if I recall correctly, access to the upgrade for the last two versions came fairly late in the day LA time, so a little more patience may be required.

For myself, I am so busy I don’t think I’ll be able to get stuck into ZB3 until next week, but by next month that will be a distant disappointment hidden under millions of polygons.

Fuggeddaboudit!! :lol:

This is a very funny thread … 2 hours for me … KICK OFF TIME, LOL !!!

i’m really kind of excited for everyone who is getting to use 3.0 (very) soon. i personally cannot–using a mac—but it’ll be really cool to see everyone’s reactions to all of the new stuff. have fun everyone!! :smiley:

Good luck everyone!
