*** ZBrush 3.5 for Windows RELEASED

Still waiting here. Last name starts with a T, but email starts with a D. Well, maybe today. :sunglasses:

Small step for man, Giant leap for mankind!

Thank you Pixologic!

My email starts with ā€œTā€
Hmm… I’m not receive my e-mail that starts with ā€œTā€ā€¦ September 12… ((

Hi,

Just finished my first playabout session with the new release. It is nothing short of stunning, awesome, amazing. THe new additions help me flow even faster, ideas sparking in my mind, new possibilities a reality. Zsketching is going to be the new inspiration tool, making them into PM3D to work over once shape and form has been settled on. Letting go of what you want to build and just sitting back and flowing with whatever comes… screw topology, and poly counts!(thanks for the additional max poly !!! love you long time) Really enjoy the way i can move zspheres anywhere and the react and merge, wow.

Just checked out the zclassroom videos on zsphere2, new brushes and noise (this feature is so amazing) … Im blown away. Thanks for posting these, very helpful :slight_smile:

So ZB is the best software package ive ever bought, and that was years ago when 3.1 came out… I never thought i would be sitting here seeing this package (i think it deserve more then that definition… its a defining point in every creative that uses it. A direct connection to the minds eye!). I have certainly got my money’s worth!

Concept art is about to explode as the boundaries between 2d/3d get smoothed together, character art in film and games will become so much better, shapes and forms explored. Hard surfacing, props, environments, 2d painting (Paintstop is amazing!) … be prepared to see an EXPLOSION as we all start moving into a new dimension of creativity!

As an Illustrator, Concept, 3D artist i really have no need to move out of zbrush for the majority of my work flow now… but then hey, even when i do need to, its gonna be through GoZ , or zapplink … genius.

Im so very excited to sit down and start learning these new and wonderful tools. Im going to start my first Zbrush Central Sketch book and share with all my explorations…

This update has sold me for any future purchases Pixologic team, already put the cash aside :smiley:

Thankyou pixologic for working so hard, and pushing the boundaries on how we all can flow with our inspirations, ideas and creativity. Its makes me so very happy.

Kind Regards and a lot of respect

Got my copy … thanks guys at Pixo. Congrats on the new version and the installation was very easy this time, TY.

Antonio.

Our office got our notifications but I have not recieved my personal one yet,
stoked but a bit of a bummer to not have it to play with over the weekend.

This is an awesome update!:smiley: TY guys at Pixo.:+1: My only concern is that it seems to me that the app itself runs directly from the extracted folder, because I don’t see any installation process after double click the EXE file. Am I doing something wrong here or this is the way ZB will run from now on?

Just got my email! Install and activation went very smoothly. Now for some fun! How better to spend a weekend?

ZBrush 3.5 is a self-contained folder which simply needs to be unzipped and placed in your preferred location (usually in the folder where you have 3.1 and other applications installed)

Mine arrived after midnight lastnight. Email begins with ā€œTā€.

What are the specs for running this new version?

Does that flow under Windows 2000 and a P4 like the version 3.1 ?

thanks

”the new doodles from the users that already have the new version is so cool!, so easy to create such an amazing characters in a few minutes! i loveeeee it !, Congratulations to Ofer Alon and all in Pixologic Team! for real!

I have a 64-bit machine so I tried putting 3.5 in both places:

C:\Program Files\Pixologic\ZBrush 3.5

and

C:\Program Files (x86)\Pixologic\ZBrush 3.5

When I put in my authorization number, I get the error ā€œLicense activation failed!ā€

My existing copy of ZBrush 3.1 is installed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Pixologic\ZBrush3

I have to run both versions of ZBrush as administrator, or else it fails to run. With ZBrush 3.1 I had to run as administrator just to register. The same process isn’t working for 3.5.
I used web activation and it worked fine. There was some confusion about enter key versus web activation.

I simply created a desktop shortcut and it launches just fine for me…

Doh I used web activation and that worked.

YES!!! Got it, just opened it up. Lookin slick. Thanks again Pixo team. Can’t wait to spend the rest of the day playing around.

So GoZ is delayed for Windows. Is that why I can’t find the download for GoZ on the support page? I only see a mac download.

Can my mac computer with Modo talk to my computer on Windows with ZBrush?

Well, the software is amazing! But unfortunately, Transpose Master and Subtool Master aren’t working, which is making the use of this to continue projects very difficult. I’m really glad that it installs beside 3.1 instead of on top of 3.1 cause I can use both to do my stuff till Pixologic gets those issues mended.

I just love the simple things, the Lightbox (tip: extend its useability by placing shortcuts in the ZBrush folder), the Floor Grid and improved perspective. And of course, ZSpheres II!

The kind of quality and ingenuity that emits from Pixologic is astounding. They are really changing the face of what it means to create in 3D. Even when it seems as if with enough time and skill, one could already create anything; Pixologic has highlighted what we couldn’t do yet, and given over the tools to make it happen.

Thank you very much again Pixologic. 3.5 is simply amazing, it’s wonderful to imagine where you might be going with ZB next.

We are updating the plugins for 3.5 and release these as soon as they are ready.

Here is one more tip…
You may click on the bottom border of LightBox to resize the icons (this feature will be more important in Z4 with LightBox web access).
