**** ZBrush 3.5 R3 for Windows Released

[fixme]

WHEN can we expect ZBrush 4 on disk? not only downloads!

[Mentat7]

Can’t wait to give the new polish brushes a try. Patiently waiting on Cleverbridge atm. Sure would like to know what criteria they use when sending out the batch emails. I always seem to be in one of those last batches that they send out resulting in days passing after release before actually receiving it. Cleverbridge might be a decent delivery vehicle for the software but imo they just aren’t capable of handling the volume.

I do have to second that… we’ve been waiting for space navigator support for a few years now. The new navigation tools however do help some…

Some PC users have, and continue to complain that mac users got GoZBrush before they did. They’ve also complained when bug fixes have been late in coming. I don’t buy into this idea, or inference that only Mac users complain, and that only PC users are exclusively cordial. Why do PC users always like to turn this into a who’s platform is better pissing contest? I don’t want to have to defend my OS of choice, or put down someone elses OS of choice. It isn’t about my OS vs yours. It’s about customer service, and good communication.
Period. Not interested in getting in a flame war here with anyone. I’m just trying to patiently wait for the update at this point.

Everyone knows Mac users are better than everyone else.

In all seriousness we all complain sometimes, but you have to admit the Mac user base is a vocal lot.

Also bugs are really annoying and should be brought to software developers attention.

some new stuff is really cool in r3. brushes and grid plane - nice.

but diplace map - only 2048 ??

because of this displacemap just in case i will keep work in 3.1 for now

Where did you get that idea? Set the size in the Tool>UV Map>UV Map Size slider (max 8192).

Which begs the question why we set the size of the displacement map in the UV menu. Anyhow, love your work Marcus.

[ambient-whisper]

because if it wasnt set there, then you would need 3 sliders to clutter the ui.

one in the disp submenu, one in the normal map menu and the texture menu.

this way you set your texture uvs and texture size in the uv menu and the texture size is always the same for all 3 texture generating submenus.

Because its the global (tool wide) define for new texture creation,… it defines normal, disp, and color maps.

It has to be defined somewhere… I much prefer a master control like that for all maps over defining each one separately like in older versions of ZB.
And yes, we upgraded at work today, the size limitation is 8k, not 2k.

I wouldn’t say that we’re “better.” Just less inferior.

This version doesn’t require that run as adminstrator! I waited for the the licenses to be deactivated, had some other project to do in the downtime. Now I need to try to make something in it. Tons of new brushes.

[bicc39]

This has been a long day for me and the new version.
Started out with one good installation with errors.
One bad semi installation with more errors.

Thanks to patience of SupportPixologic and a bit of luck:

One installation with no errors ( so far).
One installation with sometime error messages (virtual memory)

Hopefully tomorrow get to see what you all have been talking about
since September.

Great Thanksgiving.
( special thank you to Svengali, for actually reading my Post and offering
help)

If you are running Windows 7 or Vista you may need to set the “run as administrator” property. See here: https://support.pixologic.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=35&nav=0,13

Am I the only one still waiting for the pony express to show up?

[system]

You can still Modify your installation through the Windows Control Panel > Remove Programs feature. That would let you remove unwanted plugins if you’d like. The only reason you’d need to uninstall would be if you wish to change where ZBrush is actually located on your system.

Thank you aurick, I appreciate it.
