man you Pixologic guys are awesome.
can’t wait.
hopefully the gap between now and a mac version, I can get a mac that will run it, and finally upgrade from v2.
I wonder how much $$$ you paid to get your mac with 12 GB of ram. Probably DOUBLE what it costs for the PC equivalent. I agree with asuke about buying a PC. Not to mention how much easier it is to customize your PC’s hardware.
I was once a Mac guy but once I built my first PC for a fraction of a mac AND got better performance, I will never go back. However, I don’t bash Mac’s and throw out sarcasm because I think my PC is superior.
I see no reason why the same application should cost less when it is released for mac a few months later. It is the same application right? It did cost money to produce, and took time to develop.
The delay is simply due to priorities, and people should be happy this application is even dual platform. Many Zbrush users are in game development and well… Mac’s are not for gamers.
I would guess that the 3.5 release was somewhat unexpected hence the 3 releases of it. I gathered that zbrush go would not be in any releases of Z3.5 considering it was suppose to be a feature of Z4 from the beginning as all these features were originally. Im running a pc and i would really like GoZ and I know there are a lot of Mac owners out there that would want these features pronto as well. I kinda feel like I am defending both sides here but here are some points that do stand out:
-
They did promise GoZ for Z4 but I must of missed something for them stating it would be in Z3.5
-
Its a shame that the versions dont equal each other on the dual platforms and that is something that needs to be equaled for best practice even though i know there is a lot of work that go into both.
-
They really need to have more places teaching their software. (This is probly just my opinoin coming out but I live no where near the schools that do teach it and it sucks. Yeah I know Im whinning.)
-
They should at least get the dates figured out for when things will be released. Committing to a date and then releasing it weeks later is very disappointing . —This point is rather shallow however, the demand for this app is growing and the community needs something that is reliable. (I took a mini vacation from work for the release of 3.5 and missed it because it came out a week late which was very upsetting.)
All in all I am very excited to try this version out and I tip my hat in every regard for the tools that are being developed and given especally for free to registered users. These points are my opinoins really so take them with a grain of salt since i dont know everything that goes into developing software. I am excited about all the new features and cant wait to get GoZ so only time will tell!
Yep…I concur…
BTW: The update looks tremendous, so naturally you understand my frustration. 
Can’t answer for him, and I surely don’t have that much ram.
but personally, switching to PC after 14 years of only using a mac is not something I’d even consider. Regardless of the fact that I’ve disliked PC’s every time I’ve used them, I have thousands of dollars of software that runs on macs. If I were to switch, I’d have to repurchase my Adobe CS suites and tons of other stuff. And then, since I work in the print industry, I’d have serious issues when bringing work to print. I submit ads to dozens of different magazines and printing houses. 95% of them want things in macintosh format, and only in the last few years have the new PDF workflows made it easier for them to accept PC output.
Zbrush is, in their own words, aiming for artists, not specifically game developers. This was clearly much more an “illustration” program in it’s initial inception. It’s no secret that artists in all other mediums besides 3D CGI have traditionally gravitated towards the macintosh platform. If Pixologic is going to find artists who aren’t merely steeped in the gaming world, they’re going to have to keep consistant with mac versions.
I contacted Pixologic about the upcoming mac version, and they said “first we have to finalize Windows 3.5, then we finish the mac version” and that was about 2 weeks ago, and here we find them finalizing the Win3.5, and stating:
So I’m just gonna take Pixolator’s word for it and not complain.
All that said, I agree with the comment about licensing to the buyer, not the platform. I’m not sure how practical that is from their standpoint though.
Big Surprise…no Mac Version. I am now convinced the higher ups at Pixologic are diehard pc users who have Dells sitting in their offices and have never worked in a creative department in their lives. I am beyond sick and tired of being ignored. Until I see that the Mac Platform is being supported I won’t waste my time with ZBrush.
Wooouuuu!!!
It is necessary to wait for good guys to see if not very much
The whole free update thing is a nice gesture, but I would rather pay some cash for an update if it meant both OSX and Windows could be updated at the same time with the same features.
Mac users should not be expected to run bootcamp or have to wait for releases just as Windows users should not have to wait for features like GoZ.
How many people use zBrush? 1000? 10,000?
Even of they charged only $50 for an update I am sure that would add up to more than enough cash to pay an extra developer or twos salary and stil have money in the bank.
yeah. waiting without losing any words…
pixologic, i think i love you… 
edit: wtf? 10.000 people?? i think today there are MUCH more using zbrush legally! in the whole world i think there are far more than 100.000 people using ZBrush.
by the way. i think this discussion every time when pixo releases an update is stupid. just lay back and enjoy that there IS something like zbrush.
so, i just speak for me… but
THANK YOU PIXO!!! 
Pixologic, you magnificent basterds ;] I soooo regret not having Zbrush at home or work right now. In a world of corporate sh** killing innovation you shine like stars. Keep it up you bring the faith in humanity back to this planet ;]
Couldn’t have said it better. And I would take an educated guess that the number of licenses should be well above 10k…
Kabe
Must say this frightens me. I get the feeling something is going on here…
Is this really still human, and 21st C?
Are you the Borg, as all resistance is indeed futile?
Just can’t believe my eyes.
And this is still not ZB4…
Why can’t we download it? It is the 24th today, correct?
SonofWitz artists only exist on the Mac? That is as funny as the cons that tell you abstract art is art. It will invoke some sort of epiphany in the buyer/viewer…blah blah blah. If all of that is true those chimps painting pics have us all beat. Oh and they are NOT using Macs. Just simply brushes and canvas.
Thank you so much for this. It amazes me when I see all the work you put into this program and I am so happy to have it available at my work! 
Haha… all my fav tools from 2.x are back in the game…
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

“Cleverbridge will be renewing download links and sending them to the email addresses on record for all users who have previously upgraded to or purchased ZBrush 3.5”
