ZBrush 3.5

[system]

Unfortunately it does not.

I wonder if some of the delay is due to the fact that Windows 7 is coming out soon and Pixologic wants to make it compatible with that OS.

All in all I just want more RAM space. I need around 6 GB to work comfortably.

pixologic is just the other companies that announce linux version and never release it . dont Expect linux version in the nearest years.

So this is the Qtr. that they’re going to tell us that ver. 3.5 won’t be released last Qtr.?

Pretty much

I think the delay has to do with the fact that they cannot choose the new color of the interface. There seems to be a rumor that it will be flamingo pink, but the cannot make up their minds. Most likely they will release a patch very soon to make the color change happen. Some new features seems to be; a calendar (finally), a slower start-up time and a background music tune made by the band ‘napalm death’ that cannot be turned off. The release of ZBrush 3.5 will be expected on July the 25th, because that’s my birthday.

LMAO! :lol: I needed that today.

My prediction: they said they would say something about 3.5 in the first quarter. I expect before the month is out, they will announce that 3.5 is somewhere in the middle of the Beta process. I’d guess that they will give some vague comment about shipment like “Summer”. That will allow them to release 3.5 anytime between May and Siggraph.
-K

So that sets up for an effectual late October release? Add on first come first serve upgrade processing and we’re in November.

My guestimate, I’ll be using 3.5 around the week before Thanksgiving

Oh I won’t. I just want more RAM space in the Windows version. I like super high poly and 4 GB is just not enough memory work with for me.

Hi tiekmir, we all love polys, 4mb is rather limiting in such a fantastic program, but I have just push mine to 13,7 mil polys by using Sub Tools, each tools has a 4mil poly max, and I am sure if you increase your RAM, you’ll be able to push more polys…

Enjoy

Almost correct brother Leo. It will be on my birthday. The 29th!

My money is on a Winter/4th Quarter '09 delivery date. :rolleyes:

They’ll wait until after SigGraph during which they show its capabilities to whet our appetites before its actually released.

[brettSinclair]

Not sure if someone already mentioned this.

For an update I’d like a real 3d perspective. I still find the perspective wierd.
Thats my main request.

My other request would be to be able to paint up different types of maps in zbrush. So I’d be able to paint up a diffuse, reflect, spec, whatever. What would be really sweet is being able to actually plug them all into a shader to see how they all react together. Aslo the texture painting doesn’t rely on poly count. Hope its not too much haha.

Another request is to be able to extract high def geo for displacement maps.

Please make it so:P. Hope i’m not too late :rolleyes:

So, looking at calendar… What we have here? 9 days left from 1st quarter …

What you gonna do Pixologic? Tell us something or miss another deadline you gived yourself :lol:? Date to… give us another date - LOL.

Leave damn Mac in his misery and give us 3.5 finally Soon will be Win7 and MacOS again will be on margin… keep it real.

Thanks for the advice. I do use sub-tools though. The issues I have been having lately are when I am doing poly painting with a very high poly mess( around 17-20 mils). I guess I can just break stuff up in to even smaller pieces, but I sure do wish I could have just a couple more GB’s of RAM. ALl in time I guess. I am sure that Pixologic has a 64 bit version in mind some day. Patience is a virtue after all.

3.5 came out around May 24, 2007:D just a guess

What does that mean?

[MASTERSHOKHAN]

I do not work for or know anybody at Pixologic. But history often repeats it’s self. They said first quarter 09, which it doesn’t look like they can do. May is only a month away. It is a good guess based on history.

We can keep on speculating, but if im to be honnest, there is no way anyone can even hint at a time as it is total silence, The last official thing that iv read was in 3Dworld issue 114 I think. It was clear that they where not ready, or even close for the fact that the posibility of a patch for Mac was not to be rulled out.

If that was being said, then why create a patch if we are so close to 3.5 coming out on both PC and Mac together?

So can we honnestly say this year, year after, who knows? What I do know is somthing has to be mentioned at Siggraph 2009, wouldnt it?

[miztli]

I guess Pixologic started all that hype over 3.5 because was afraid mudbox. Then they saw that mudbox is not yet ready to take market from ZB so they just slowed down and now we have 1 day more for Pixologic to do not meet another date they announced - date to publish any info about 3.5 release date.
Pixologic is only company I know with such amazing product and that kind of attitude…

[system]

Well it’s the last day of the first quarter 2009. We were again promised an update and all we’ve received is silence. We’re waiting Pixologic! :mad:

It’s funny, I called Pixologic a few weeks back to see if I could get an answer better than silence and this is what I was told… “Would you believe anything we said at this point?.. really?. All I can tell you is that it’s soon.” :rolleyes:

[miztli]

“Would you believe anything we said at this point?”

TRY ME :lol:

To Pixologic - guys, we are all human beings, we all have our bad damn days and f*** ups. Put on side all that corporate BS and tell us just what happened - I can bet whatever you want that people appreciate more worst truth then most beautiful lie or - like in this case - lack of any info. We all love ZB and all we want is to know whats up. Its not gonna be this year? Well good - but tell us that. I am sure you guys do your best - what I cannot get is why you get that silly idea that “not a word” policy can be of any good

[maxgamer]

Here’s what I know:

1. There will be an update to the Mac version to get it more in line with the PC Version. This will happen late spring/early summer

2. At Siggraph there will be a significant announcement with some Features of 3.5 released and shown at the booth

3. 3.5 will be announced with a fall release date that will more than likely moved to a release date fo December
