I’d rather let it release, then all the fetures are smashed into one video of greatness.
What you think?
Oh! Please don’t take me off the mailing list. Please.
I haven’t sworn, verbally attacked anyone.
Just stating the facts from a MAC user point of view. I will believe the release date when it is actually in my hands.
They just better hurry up. 3D Coat’s new retopology is amazing and Mudbox seem to make huge leaps with every iteration.
I just hope there is enough in this release to keep Zbrush ahead of Mudbox as I have a feeling there will be 3 more releases of Mudbox before Zbrush 5 is even considered.
It must be the best damn video I have ever seen then!
What do you think Pixologic has been doing man? Sitting on their fingers? Every version they’ve brought out has been huge sweeping changes.
Plus, i dont think Mudbox bas all the features that Zbrush has. You see, even the small updates can make a huge change. A small change from pixologic can persuade you to re-order your workflow, thus cutting production time in impressive increments.
maxgamer, don’t worry about it, dude. Enjoy your last few days with zb3 and continue to crank out wonderful sculpts. If it doesn’t turn up in a couple of weeks, don’t sweat it. Zb4, as cool as it is, won’t make us better artist, but it will be here before we know it. 
I think the release of SnowLeopard was what made a lot of apps on the Mac to get delayed. I think the Mac version announcement was close to the SnowLeopard release or announcement date and Pixo didn’t fully anticipate how many changes Apple did to their OS.
If an OS creator makes so many changes to an OS that the software you are making won’t work or won’t take advantage of these new changes is it your fault if you can’t make it in time?
It’s not like Apple said: we are going to release SnowLeopard and here it is so you can make your apps a year before we release it.
How do you expect a company to re-write a bunch of stuff because Apple dudes can’t decide when to go 64bit and what they will change when they do?
Snow Leopard Announcement at WWDC in 2008, public announcement
next year at WWDC 2009. Finally available August 2009. Ring any bells.

I would blame Apple, not Pixologic.
I think the story went something like this:
- Apple we will release a new version next year.
- Pixologic, nice should be pretty smooth.
- Next year Apple here it is.
- Pixologic yeah let’s tell people they will get their new software on Macs before Christmas.
Next day, Pixo, opens ZBrush on new SnowLeopard… oh ****, all our new code has gone to $h17… and they’ve changed this and that and the other…
Bit odd they still haven’t announced a full list of features.
What do they gain by keeping it hush hush?
Maybe we have heard everything! Maybe the details are all that has to be mentioned. Who knows. One thing though its not encouraging people to spread the news as such. Very quiet around the net.

Relax it’s still 9 days to go.
i think the delay the release for marketing… i see increae in sales of zbrush every announcment them make…
Em why would they give out the features here, when they are going to do so in Siggraph?
And just because some of you are retarded enough to answer:

It says it there:
Not only will we be presenting many of ZBrush 4’s features for the first time, …
Excuse me but there is no need to be rude.
Siggraph is over and has been for two days so your comments are unwarranted.
Mike R
Em, yes…
and it is out in 10 days. They have plenty of time to show more if they want to. I believe however whoever was so desperate to know would be there…
Anyway keep whining
Sorry for the rudeness, but there are about 10 pages of comments nagging about this. Even if there was news it would get lost in the amount of pages you guys generate just to ask for something they have always done in their own time.
it doesn’t even have decent selection tools to begin with
Your right. It can get wearing at times.
Onwards and upwards I say.
Cheers
Mike R
ditto
Were you a beta tester this time around?
Guys, I would just get on with the weekend, forget about Zbrush 4 for two days, and come back monday to see if anything is new.
Being that it apears hardly anyone went to Siggrapg and saw Zbrush 4,very few people who have has been there already reported the same things, and that is nothing that breaks far from what we have seen in the videos so far.
Keeping in mind on page 1 of this thread it says “Full information about ZBrush 4.0’s exciting new features will be posted on the Pixologic and ZBrushCentral websites on 8/9/10.”
Have a good week end.
Hmmm this wait reminds me of a Simpsons episode… a TV commercial for the Catholic church “We have made some new improvements.”. :lol:
Oh yeah I’m new here and waiting on the future that is ZBrush 4!
So does this mean the end of polygonal modelling? Zbrush, (sculptris?) 3Dcoat (and eventually Mudbox) can all do hard and softbody work and remesh them for export or am I jumping the gun a little?
