they ARE leaving us hanging.
YEAH !!!
It’s a little bit annoying, but I was glad to see the Mac note at the bottom. I prefer to be updated versus being totally left in the dark while seeing multiple upgrades that I can only use when working on someone else’s workstations(s)
In general it looks great and I hope that Zapplink finally makes it’s way to the Mac version. (I suspect the GoZ development will have a large role in solving that Mac problem…hopefully)
I love ZBrush, I use it constantly and even spend down-time just fooling around in it.
BUT…
Having been in charge of a small software development team I can say with some certainty that Pixologic has a piss poor development cycle and is badly in need of new managers.
They should have loooong ago switched to a cross-platform development environment. This game of leap frog they are playing is foolish in todays software dev circles. There is no excuse for it… years are passing between software cycle revs and all it does is make them look stupid to one side of their user base or the other.
Also this issue with transparency is ludicrous. Get your house in order, lay out a dev cycle and get it finished as close to on time as possible. And if things are falling behind… TELL US.
This happy horse**** of surprise release is assinine. If there were a clear track record of stable, regular releases it would be one thing, but to deal with things as they have been done is quite another.
From the R3 Page:
“Note for Mac users: Now that ZBrush 3.5 has been finalized, we will continue updating ZBrush for the Mac OS X platform.”
What do you think that says to a Mac user?
Buy a PC, are you kidding! I want a machine not headaches.:lol: I also have 12 GB of ram on my mac and ZBrush Rocks on the mac. BTW it’s not the machine but the talent behind it?
That’s funny.:lol: Wait, maybe not because it feels like it’s the truth.
You can thank 3DCoat for the faster releases on the Pixologic end. The rate at which 3DCoat is being updated (daily) has to send a bit of fear into the mind of Pixologic and they are working harder now that 3DCoat is virtually reinventing 3D sculpting on a daily basis. 
I have both 3DCoat and ZBrush and they both rock in very different ways.
nice video guys! some good art in there
Zapplink and all others yes, but not Zmapper. At least it isn’t on the list.
I think alot of Mac users are unhappy to say the least. Seriously guys, if you look at other software producers, which also produce dual platform products, such as Adobe their releases are never this out of kilter. Im sorry if Pixologic doesn’t want to hear the criticism, but it’s not coming out of malice, just simple observation. And, I don’t want to hear any excuses about Adobe being a monster company with infinite resources. The bottom line is Pixologic is producing dual platform software…period. If your expecting Mac user’s to pay the same amount then you should be offering the same product at the same time.
Zmapper is gone for good I believe.
sorry yeah I’ve only realised you actually said Zmapper after I wrote that :o - yeah it seems to be gone
Funny how it works the opposite on the hardware end for Mac users… 
Had to get my mac bashing in for the day haha.
Great point.
Still no Mac version? What gives? Look, i’d be less upset about all of this if they would just release both platforms at the same time. Why is this such an issue for Pixologic? I can’t think of any other DCC vendor out there that makes the other platform wait so freaking long for a current build.
Either change your licensing policy so my single purchase entitles me to both platforms, or release your gear on both platforms on the same friggin’ day. It’s 2009 for crying out loud.
Yeah…I am frustrated and want to use ZSketching on my Mac
One could flip that argument rant on it’s head and say “Buy a PC” it’s 2009 for crying out loud. Hmm buy one get one free…wow.
Please Note: ZBrush 3.5 R3 is not yet available for download! We will update the announcement at the beginning of this thread as soon as it has been released. Please do not contact Support inquiring about availability. Thanks!
I have a PC, it’s called a Dual Boot Mac Pro. 
My workflow is primarily on OSX: CS4, C4D, Modo, and since I already bought an OSX license of zB, it would be nice to use the latest tools with my specific workflow. If i had dual platform license, it wouldn’t be an issue.
Just service the platforms you build ya know. Heck, charge $200 more for the software if it means having versions ready on both platforms at the same time.
I am a Mac user too … what annoys me is the lack of information… just a date…All I need so far. It would at least demonstrate some kind of investment in our platform
i have also a question to Mac users: do you have some issue (freeze) with Lazy Mouse on OSX 3.2 Release ?
This is why I have a mac and a PC.
Can’t wait to use those polish brushes!
Looking forward to the plug ins…and the polish brush…and…
for a moment today…the work on the bottom rows…the wonderful less than elitist bottoms rows…absolutely wiped the floor with the top row stuff…way to go z community.
I like Luxology’s approach of licensing the software to the user, not the hardware. This allows me to install modo on any computer, mac or pc. I think they’re pioneering how software licensing should be across the board.
Just thought I’d mention it, as it would prevent this type of frustration (somewhat).
