read near the bottom…sounds like 64bit decimation master is starting to make more sense now

Only took 32 tries!

I am downloading m,y Mac version now.

I haven’t seen anything written about the fur or hair but I did see a fibre option in the render drop-down. I am interested to see if this works.

I’ll keep you posted.

btw, this is my 1st post.

Wow! I am a ZBrush user.

I know I should just wait for my download to find out for myself, but I’m just so curious… the mannequin videos show that the mannequins are actually zifs (zspheres), yet they have that smoothed out mannequin look with the squared off heads. I wonder if this will be the new look for zif models? If so, I like it. For some reason, the whole zif armature look was difficult for me to wrap my head around. Too many spheres. I kind of like the zifs looking like ball joints and the in-betweeners looking smooth.

Probably just a special thing for the mannequins, but I hope not.

Yeah, I knew that, but the simple brush isn’t working properly (sorry for calling it a sphere brush in the earlier post - it’s been a while!). In earlier versions, it would create a blobby, rounded 2.5D shape on the canvas, but with ZB4, it’s drawing a bunch of boxes instead. Sculpting does work properly after I load tool.

All you need to do is select an alpha. The SimpleBrush no longer has one by default.

Congratulations on the release Looks like it is worth the wait.

The Clip Brushes look superb !! Also loving many of the small changes, especially realtime deformations. Can’t wait to take that render engine for a spin

With the Simple Brush you need an appropriate alpha selected to draw rounded blobby shapes, just like in 3.5

Yep, that did it - thanks! Like I said, it’s been forever, and since I’m on a Mac, if this changed for 3.5, I didn’t see it until now

Now, if only I had time to actually learn this thing - maybe someday…

Must admit its been so long since I installed ZB… but this was perfect on my Mac… reminded me of Apple… everything quick, clean, and well organized.

Entire operation done in a few minutes… and as I did each step received confirmation email as specified.

Now I just need to digest all the wonderful capabilities. To bad its not winter… I may never leave my computer chair.

Has anyone else run in to this…
I went to activate, entered my info and got an error. When I went back the web page told me I had already activated, but when I requested a copy of my activation I got another error.

So I have all my info, I have the software installed, but I can’t use it.

So far I have never had a Zbrush install go smoothly.

Yep, having the same exact problem here on my Mac.

So the Fiber isn’t really talked about or shown or did I miss something?
God I wish ZB was fully 64 bit maybe next time ehh?

Try checking the giant list of new features that are added.

I got it installed on my Mac and activated but I thought I’d share my problems in case they could help anyone else. I had three problems after installing ZB4.

1. on boot, it gave me an error about being out of virtual memory.
2. the familiar one that others have posted about how the email function on the activation site isn’t working quite right and you have to go back and try over and over until the activation key shows up on screen and is emailed to you.
3. even when I did get an activation code, it kept saying that it failed to activate.

problem 2 i have no idea… except to do what others have suggested.
However, on the others, I realized something. The account I was logged into on my Mac was set up to not be an administrator account (per the suggestion of an IT friend of mine who suggests that best practice is not leave your baby naked in the desert by leaving administrator access open to the world) so it did not have admin access. It occurred to me that perhaps the registration file was not ABLE to be written. So I changed my account to Admin access and then both problems 1 and 3 dissappeared and I was able to use ZB 4!

It’s a bandaid, but one I’m willing to use until a better solution can be found. Is there a way to give ZBrush the admin access it needs but leave all the others as non admin access? Just wondering if anyone else out there who is way more versed in the inner workings of Mac can help me there?

Hope this is helpful to someone!
