oh my this waiting is killing me …

Thanks Julian!!!

Now I understand the paint layers…with the record button off, you cannot paint on it until you hit record again :slight_smile: interesting. Downside is, you MUST PAINT the colour in…you cannot hit fill object… that is weird. but what if I want to erase the paint ?

#265

This is amazing Pixologic!! :eek: Really exciting stuff to see all the new features, they all look so promising and useful. Hope to play with it soon!!

Thanks a lot!!! After trying about 10 times I managed to get another activation code shown. I was able to install Z4 again
:slight_smile:

But I didn´t get GoZ installed again. I went through the installation process in ZBrush but there wasn´t a GoZ Shelf and button in Maya anymore (I deleted the GoZ shelf in Maya beforehand as aurick told me to delete GoZ from Maya) I even tried “force reinstall” in ZBrush. No chance to get that button and shelf back in Maya)

At least I have my ZBrush back again!

I got my email. But since the pixo website has been as reliable as a drunk monkey I hesitate to click on the “one-click-only” link in the email.

Remembering the three week mare I had when purchasing 2.0, I think I will wait until the tsunami has calmed and leave some bandwidth to the eager guys.

OK with you? :smiley:

Having some problems on MAC 10.6.4:

using Lightbox:
Cann´t get content from www. Are there some preferences to be set?

using ZB spotlight:
once activated, I cann´t get rid of it any more - sorry, I tried to get some info about… but all servers are a bit busy atm… So how to leave that mode and how to project the image onto the mesh?

Spotlight clone tool causes crashes here at a default cube using textures that came with the download.

If this isn´t the right place to report such issues… please direct me to the right one.

i had a thought on the masking brushes. the one where you draw a curve and masks everything to one side of the curve, it would be great if you could specify a distance to mask instead of just everything. might be there already, but it was the very first thing that came to my head on how i would want to use it.

#272

The links, New Features Documentation and ZBrush 4.0 Tutorials, located in the Start Menu>All Programs>Pixilogic>ZBrush 4.0 folder aren’t working. Anybody else having this problem?

#273

to be honest, your upgrade issue is still clunky. why not renting some servers on release date?
i dont understand why we have to wait for a link?..

#274

wow, after i got my email, installing and registering worked with no problem and for the first time i used goz and it is absolutely amazing. awesome.

now i need to find some tuts which show off the new tools.

pixologic is the best :slight_smile:

#275

Aurick,

Will it be possible to open Z4 files in Z3.5 R3??

#276

ahhh, my favorite 2 things that don’t get improved.

Deployment and true 64bit versions… It still can only use up to 4GB ram? I was only using 8GB for the last decade and recently upgraded to 24GB. It’s a shame Zbrush is just about the only app in my pipeline that doesn’t take advantage of all memory and I guess it’s still going to be that way… Luckily it’s so good I don’t mind that one bad genetic throwback gene… Err What was I talking about?

#277

This is rad, however I have a few small issues maybe other people are having and could shed some light upon? It’s all plug-in based, and it’s probably me. First I can’t seem to find the “Multi Map Exporter” which usually means the plug-in was installed incorrectly, all I had to do was copy it to …ZStartup/ZPlugs, which I did. Isn’t this correct?

Secondly, I don’t use the shelf in Maya, yet the only place I can find the GoZ button is in there? Is there a counterpart to the button somewhere in the menu that I could make a key command for, or is there a key command already for this in Maya?

Thanks in advance!

#278

has everyone gotten there email by now?

#279

Well, after all of these years, you CAN ERASE your polypaint, just by holding ALT and stroke… why wasn’t this documented :)?

#280

aargh… I’m still waiting for it.
