and videos of siggraphic show the new freatures?? is only for the secret group? why is so secret is ridiculous:lol:
you all should go play Starcraft 2 or make some maps for it. It may take days for most of us to get that email. it took me a week to get my 3.5 upgrade. be patient and happy for those who get theirs now. Life will go on my fellow sculptors.
There is one thing that came to my mind. A new customer gets to buy ZB4 for another full month for the price of the current release ($595). After that month ZB4 will cost $699…
That just made me wonder. Why on earth would a company sell a new and highly expected product cheaper the first 4 weeks if they were planing on releasing it on scedule without any hazzle? I never got a discount when a service/product was good, only when things went wrong…
Now that really makes me wonder.
Ohh by the way Pxologic, I am intending to buy ZB4 but only when you actually release it. Pre-orders don’t count.
The problem is no one has gotten it yet lol :rolleyes:
This day has been a complete joke.
Way to go Pixologic. You would think at least one person from Pixologic would have made it onto the forums to explain what is going on.
Whenever any other company announces a release date you can get the product in the morning. Why on earth would you put a date to this forcing people to sit around and wait all day?
Why are there no specific feature lists for a product that is supposed to be released today?
Here we go again. Get ready for Zbrush 3.6 for the PC users and 3.5 for the Mac.
I have to agree. This is pretty disrespectful to the customer. We have been following this thread because we were told we would get more information closer to the release. And now people in most time zones are going to bed with absolutely nothing.
Maybe they are too busy partying coz it’s their 10 year aniversary/
Gimme!!!Gimme!!!Gimme!!!Gimme!!!Gimme!!!Gimme!!!Gimme!!!Gimme!!!Gimme!!!
I’m sorry to say that this is pixologics way. They always did that and no matter how much it’s customers complain they will continue to act this way.
I’m just happy i’m a hobbyist and my daily work doesn’t depend on this specific program…
How can they afford to party, it’s a free upgrade.
Oh sorry, I would actually have to get the product for it to be an upgrade. It’s been a ages since I was promised 3.5 and I still don’t have it for the Mac. I am losing hope.
I ordered a Droid X from Verizon a week or so ago. They told me that it was on back order and would not be shipping until Aug. 18th/19th. Guess what, I got an email, this morning, telling me that it had shipped. Imagine my excitement at finding out that it was coming early. I wish that software companies would do this with their updates/upgrades. I would rather be told a later date and get it early or on time - vice hearing it was gonna come out on a date and then not see it for days (or however long). I am not complaining, but merely putting forward an idea that would/could give companies some cushion in their release dates
Anxiously awaiting my download email - Mike
As Gridlost has mentioned, it may be a few days, folks…
My past experience with these new releases is, notifications are ‘typically’ emailed out well into the evening (PST) of the day of release.
And as was mentioned earlier, they are being sent out in batches over a period of several days. So, you might get an email tonight, or tomorrow, or the day after…
Do yourself a favor, and go occupy yourself with something else! Check your email now and then, and relax. There’s no way of knowing when yours well be sent out.
No one (I’m a Mac guy) is more anxious to get their hands on it than me, but trust me… there’s no point in driving yourself crazy. Go entertain yourself with something else. It will come in good time.
Well I guess that’s it for me also. 11:50pm and I better head to bed. I was not expecting to get an email yet but I really thought we would have had some eye candy to look at. We all know that the beta threads were put up last week. So it seems they were prepared. No idea why they do this but ah well that’s life.
Cheers

I tried entertaining myself but that only took a few minutes. Now what am I to do with my time.
I actually do not care if I get the actual product today as I understand how the Cleverbridge thing works.
What I am disappointed in is the fact there is no feature descriptions for ZB4 on what is supposed to be the release date. How can anyone possibly buy this product without actually knowing what they are getting (yes, they are actually selling licenses of ZB4 on their site).
Hey ,everyone, I have invented a flying car that only costs $1000.00. It is going to be released in two weeks but if you buy now you can get it for $900.00. In two weeks I will also be releasing how it works and what it is made of. Don’t wait, buy now. IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME…BUY NOW…DON’T MISS OUT… EVERYONE WILL WANT ONE.
I’m counting the moments on my fingers and my toes…
And I’m running out of toes.
exactly!!! information closer the realease 0 nothing!! and let´s see the email with the upgrade
Full information about ZBrush 4.0’s exciting new features will be posted on the Pixologic and ZBrushCentral websites on 8/9/10.
I wonder if this going to be at closing of the day, or midnight for them?
This zbrush4 delusion is more than 1 year old. Here’s the announcement from april 2009 http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=70082
It seems that time is really warped in Pixolalaland.
The truth of the matter is for 1 Pixo is giving away yet another free upgrade when most companies would charge you all over again for a version-ed release much less a brand new one. Which when you think about it is why most of them can prob afford to pay for more programmers and what not to hit the release dates they set.
Secondly I can’t believe that if you have zbrush 3.5 or even 3.2 (mac users) that not having this version, which you haven’t used yet, is hindering your work. Let’s get real. 4 has some cool new features but, they are all features your going to have to learn to use, in order to work them into your regular pipeline.
You guys are complaining and it really is just kinda sad. I am just as anxious for this release but to complain about it isn’t helping anything. My suggestion if you can’t deal with them being a lil late on they releases. You should go ahead and move to a mudbox or equivalent. Pay for your new updates. See how cost efficient that is for ya. I’m sure it won’t hurt Pixo being that, once agian (IT’S FREE). They make money off of new users and those guys don’t seem to be the ones complaining.
Y’all really need to gain just a lil perspective.
Tired of waiting. Going to bed. Hope when I wake up there will be news.
