*** ZBrush 3.5 for Windows RELEASED

ZBrush Announcements
#321

Read up a few posts re the “failed to start” problem. There’s a solution posted in another thread.

#322

I called Pixologic this morning to ask about the
support center being down because as long as
the site was jammed up I couldn’t log in to enter
my serial and reference number. They told me that
it doesn’t even matter this release if you have joined
the support center because the links will be automatically
sent to whatever e-mail you used when it was initially
purchased.

I didn’t here this from another forum or something, I actually
called and this is what I was told. I saw people wondering about
this and I thought I would post because I got this question
answered earlier.

Eraserhead

some ppl have this problem thats why there is a thread on zbc and infos in the support center. so why dont you ppl read things before you post the same question again and again? :wink:

#324

Even with the normal mapping…and HD, it doesn’t look right at all… :frowning: maybe i should play with it a little more…

kind of miss ZMapper already

#325

Well I sure hope that’s not right, because I bought it 8 years ago and my email address has changed since then … also living 1000 miles away from where I was living at that time. My email address has also changed since I got release 3, but I think I kept my registration info current.

Got mine and “installed” it, ran, activated and works perfectly. Thanks Pixo! Just a few questions, though…

  1. Do the old zbrush plugins work with this version, or do we wait for them to be written again? I’ll poke around and figure this out myself, but thought I’d ask (Hope this is not in a FAQ that I missed. I apologize in advance.)
  2. This application didn’t “install”. I just unzipped the file and ran the exe file, which was the application itself. It works fine, but I have to add the shortcut in the start menu. Is this the correct procedure?

Thanks again for the great app!

#327

Oh my god…

I love you pixo guys. The noise brush works just like the “ignore brush” tool texture layer feature request I begged for. You made it even better then I imagined it in my own head. It’s so nice to have a preservable textured surface on your model that you can add, sub, and smooth without destroying that textures texture or conforming that texture to the models surface. The brush works on the model, not the texture- just like I wanted. So happy and I’m sure theres more to this noise feature than this, but I’m so loving the features I found in it so far. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!!

#328

wow great …thanx :lol:

#329

it’s good news!

#330

I was super excited to get home and download ZBrush 3.5. I unzipped, and double clicked the exe and i get this…

“The application failed to start because it’s side-by-side configuration is incorrect.”

I don’t understand that error though has anyone experienced this, I’m sure it’s me doing something wrong.

The folder appears to just be an “installed” version of Zbrush, it’s not like a standard setup.exe file or an msi.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, n-drew. figured as much but was hoping ZAppLink would be considered such an integral part of ZBrush that it’d be included as part of the base package. The software will be fun to play with in the meantime. :slight_smile:

#332

I assume hd mapping is totally reliant on texture size, and how large the final model is to be rendered. So you may have to use an 8 k map, and render in HD resolutions or higher.

#333

Hi guys. I read that the new feature videos are at http://www.pixologic.com/zclassroom/homeroom/ but when I go to that page, I don’t see them.

Is everyone else seeing the same thing? They have been removed?

Thanks.

#334

Great!:lol:

#335

#337

Thanks Pixologic Team,

I really want to thank you for this wonderful upgrade. There are so many features and the Zspheres…just wow…I have to admit that I couldn’t seem to realize my creative self before but with this more organic approach it is just what I was looking for. I have had Zbrush since the beginning but now, I really feel I may actually post some finished work on here some time soon.

Thank you again for the super update…can’t wait to see what you are doing in the future…

BRAVO!

#338

Wow…

It IS faster.

The UI overall is easier on the eyes. Lots of nice anti-alias touches.

Right-click menu has more useful options, including color picker.

Saving ZCurves no longer crashes. :slight_smile:

Zsphere armatures work a LOT nicer now. No more ‘spikies’ on unified skin. No more dinking with zspheres to get a nice adaptive skin.

ZSketching, wow, you can bulk things in QUICK.

EDIT

Also, >50% bump in max-polys-per-mesh on the same exact hardware!

#339

Thanks Blaine. Unfortunately all I see are mostly making of videos. I can’t for the life of me see the new tools. Perhaps its a caching problem here at work.
