**** ZBrush 3.5 R3 for Windows Released

Again, my thanks for such a wonderful app! Install went super fine! ZB acted a bit wierd on first start up though.

1st start: default polysphere, brush standard, default… everything. brush only pulled random points out…I thought the spray stroke was on. Closed, restarted works fine. XP sp3

Quick sketch is sooooo fun! thanks alot for this really great update!

Happy Thanksgiving Pixologic and Co.!

Been waiting for the Mac version also. Can you tell us when that might be?

I don’t know who reads these post, in the sense that if what i am gonna say even matters, but I have to put it out there. This is the zbrush I’ve been waiting for. I used the 3.5 R3 release for a couple hours tonight… now I just messed around with some z-sphere sketching, and this feels like the dummy proof version I’ve been hoping for. I am a hobbyist / amateur user, so you won’t see any michealanglo’esq sculptures from me, or the next CG character for L.O.T.R or anything, but I wow, I am loving this. So to make a long story even longer, I just want to say thank you, great job!, great product!, and I can’t wait to see what i can create. :smiley: :+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:small_orange_diamond:+1:

I think Mac users thinks they have better judgement because they own a Mac - they used to tout that only a 2-mouse button, then the third button came as a wheel on a PC. Just kidding guys.

If Zbrush was half as innovative in terms of texturing as it was in sculpting my job would be obsolete by now. Someone give me a reason to finally abandon Bodypaint for good !

Thanks for finally releasing some doc’s with this version.

Somebody please confirm for me that the move sticky key has been returned to holding down alt to pull on the normals? (as opposed to clicking shift for every move in 3.5r2)

Yes and Yes

Mac???

  1. There are brushes missing from R2 to R3. I actually like using the Move2 brush and the MoveThin Brush. Why were these taken out.
    Check Lightbox, they are in there under the ‘brush’ tab along with lots of other brushes.

Great release, very cool new tools and feels much nicer to work with somehow :wink:

Don´t you just love the new remesh, with substraction, add, etc? and all the plugings!!! YUHUUUUUUUUU!!! there are so many ways to do things now that its very easy to get lost and just play for hours… Automask , mirror and weld are like magic… mirror and weld is something I did manually in other apps using bridge etc and now its just one click!!
i have no idea of what is coming in Z4 but this r3 is more than i expected … maybe a supermagic autoretopology for low meshes , and the do my laundry button …
Many thanks pixo

Hi, ( from a newbie ) sorry to post this question here.

Only started using ZBrush 3.5R2 on Sunday…scanned for tutorials and found one explaining how to use a Mask / then Extract in Sub Tools to create clothing.
Worked a treat and the whole extracted mesh could be modified, moved and deformed.

Now in R3 I can only modify the outer edge/seam of the extracted object…
Has there been something new added that is affecting the process.

Any help would be appreciated.

By the way have fallen in love with ZBrush…

Cheers Ady / Laticis Imagery

The world is not fair, period. The only way to be fair is delay the PC version until the Mac version is ready to release together, so that you don’t feel sour that the majority PC users get it first, is that what you mean.

Well, I am sure Pixologic can do that from v4 onwards to cater for the emotion. For your info, I never get to use the 3.5 because it won’t install correctly and yesterday is my first test run on 3.5r3 missing all the fun just like you.

Thank you Pixologic !
:slight_smile:

Sigh. 10 am Thanksgiving Day morning. Day three. Still no email from Cleverbridge. It is as I suspected: most likely no resolution until Monday, a full week. GG Cleverbridge and your usual lackluster response times.

Thanks Pixologic!:smiley:

As a Mac user, I’ve learned that Pixologic more than delivers with each release.

I want you to know, I have NO idea how much work is involved in the development of your product. I imagine it is a lot.

I’ve been amongst the mac users who have expressed their unhappiness with your upgrades. No more. Your obvious commitment to continuous improvement and the results are mind blowing.

At 59, patience is a virtue to which I aspire. I can wait till you get the Mac version done. You have my appreciation and ongoing support. In addition, watching the evolution of the toolset as a dedicated system for freeing artists to do great work is thrilling. Very glad to see such inspired dedication to excellence.:smiley:

Thanks so much for all your hard work. :smiley:

PC users: enjoy the new toys! You deserve them.

Mac users: Hang in there! These guys will deliver the goods:+1:

Have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :wink:

I Hate You and Windows… :evil: :confused:

Hey! Just another mac-user here waiting for update. Want to let you know that we are not only a hand full. It is sad that we have to wait for so long. :cry:

ZB is growing up nicely - a true Mirror solution was needed for a long time and the new Boolean operations just rounds this package out perfectly. If ZB could get a quick, seamless retopology solution in place, it would be golden :+1:

My sympathy for the Mac folks, the wait has to be truly frustrating :cry: I’m a Mac user who bought a tablet PC circa version 3.2 because I got tired of the Mac delays. Though I prefer using a Mac OS, having a PC around has it’s advantages. If you get tired of waiting just haunt ebay and see if you can find a good deal if you have the cash.

Take heart, you all may receive ZB4 before the PC community or at least hopefully at the same time. As much as I love Pixologic, I do think Mac folks are getting second hand treatment by the company. How difficult would it be to have ZB just become a cross platform software?

  • I can hear programmers groaning at that question*

:+1: :+1: Thanks!! Pixologic and all involved with the latest release R3.!!

It’s fantastic to have an installer back and everything went smooth with the install and activation. Perhaps the “golden tip” for me was to ensure I deactivated 3.5 r2 before installing r3… :wink:

Can’t wait to fool about with the new toys!.:smiley:
