Great, well, you’ve certainly given me enough to enjoy in the meantime! Thanks again Pixologic!
Hello my friends,
i’m a little bit confused about the activation-process. Two days ago i got the e-mail with the exciting news about the release of ZBrush 3.5.
I tried out the online-registration but nothing happend until yet. no e-mail, no activation code. Then i tried the e-mail-activation, but only got an answer to try the phone-activation. So i did, but no way to reach someone :lol:
Please tell me wether the only thing i need is patience,
Martin
I activate ZBrush from Web, no problem.
Next time I start up ZBriush, it tells me that it has not be activated…
Fix addressed in Support Center does not apply.
Problem does not happen every time that close ZBrush down.
I also notice that where in ZBrush 3.1 my name was enclosed within brackets at upper left corner of canvas, above the menu selections. ZBrush 3.5 displays what appears to be XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX type serial code…
Please advise
NOTE:As long as I am connected to internet, I can open/close ZBrush as many times as I want. As soon as I go offline from internet, I need to reactivate ZBrush everytime that it starts.
Yee-haw! Mine came through while I was at work today. Had to take it for a test spin, didn’t get to try it much, but the new features seem very responsive and intuitive. Also I clocked a model up to about 5M polys, and it was still smooth as butter. 3.1 used to get sirup’y and choppy in its performance around 2M polys on my system.
but it keeps saying my sn is invalid so i have to wait until monday blah!
…
All The Best
Thanks again Pixologic
Typical…am I the only zbrush user who didn t get an upgrade e mail?..looks like it. Sending a ticket in supports about as useful as an ash tray on a harley davidson …sigh…
I too struggled with activation. Web Activation didn’t work; Phone Activation went through to an operator who could only give me tech support’s phone number (and didn’t want to even try a phone activation). I was already running late for work, and I knew support would have their hands full that morning without my call, so I let it rest.
Long story short, I found the solution here:
https://support.pixologic.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=24
- delete Zactivation.zsc
- launch ZBrush
- hit the web activation button
- it will say you’ve already registered, and give you the same code that hasn’t been working.
- there will be a link on that page, I don’t remember what the text said, but it gives you a new code and sends you a new Zactivation file.
- ignore the new Zactivation file. That method clearly doesn’t work for you.
- copy the new code, go back into ZBrush, hit the “Enter Code” button (or whatever it’s called) and paste.
- that time should work for you.
(it worked for me, anyway)
Hope that helps!
Zbrush just sits there and hangs on me. It doesn’t even pop up the screen. There is the bar at the bottom saying ZBrush in my taskbar but that is about it. It will not open. Any ideas?

Make sure to run ZB as administrator (or check the “run as administrator” box in the Zbrush.exe properties.)

I enter in the serial number they gave me and it doesn’t work blah this totally sucks
Multithreading Test (on the same machine)
ZBrush 3.1;
Multithreading resulted in a 59.79% speed increase.
ZBrush 3.5;
Multithreading resulted in a 155.00% speed increase.
Holy cow, Thank You VERY much Pixologic!
Still waiting for the email … Wonder if I’m the only one left LOL
wow- 3.1 gave a 64.4% increase for multithreading, 3.5- 290.6%!!!
Am I the only person that hasn’t gotten the new upgrade activation code yet? I’ve been registered with ZBrush “Pixo Support” since January 07. I haven’t’ complained about anything and have been totally understanding about the whole hurry up and wait process… not that that matters to one ****ing soul.
But…
I just saw a twitter post that said:
I just got my upgrade email for ZB 3.5, now what do I do? And I’m starting to see alot of cool posts…
Just getting sick of this **** and need to vent!
Whatever…
Anyone else STILL waiting?
Holy crap…word.
I got a 29% increase with my aging dual core CPU and Zb3.1.
I get a 149% increase now in 3.5
No!
But, I guess that is not very helpful for you?
Anyway: just relax;)!
I still have not received an email with the upgrade information either if that makes anyone else feel better.
Thank you (nice try) - maybe if you would elaborate how much you are suffering? Would really cheer me up;).
More seriously: by the time we will - perhaps - receive our mail most of the problems will be discussed, making it more easy for us to avoid possible traps.
