I received my email for R2 early this morning.
Ditto.
R2’s a bit unstable, no? Thing’s crashed on me quite a few times and I haven’t used it that much. Last night it crashed on me while I was scaling a subtool sphere. Original 4 is solid as a rock.
I only had one crash and it was when inserting mesh to a dynamesh. However I had a lot of crashes with the Zbrush 4, the same you say you get in R2, scaling or moving with transpose tools. And I mean A LOT 
I am having a blast, more fun then ever in zbrush. this is frakkin brilliant … best thing so far is the feeling of dragging a clear mask with dynamesh on and witnessing MAGIC. isnt that the definition for technology you can explain? magic
take a bow pixologic!
I received mines yesterday morning when I least expected it to arrive haha!
I was already done with waiting and I just checked my E-mail just for whatever realizing that it wasn’t going to be there and then BAM! Santa Came Early 
It arrived around 1 AM and I checked my E-mail at 8 AM but realized I had tons of chores 
So I got those done early and had the rest of the afternoon to Dynamesh. I hope everyone has received theirs by now.
Thanks Pixologic for the free upgrade
cant say enough ty Pixologic for zbrush4r2 bought it and it is awesome . cant wait to see what 5 has in store besides being 64bit Best modeling program noone can touch it .
This should be Zbrush 5.5. Amazing set of new features in a free upgrade. Great stuff!
Thank you guys, this stuff is great!!!
I’ve owned ZBrush since Christmas last year. I used it to make almost all the textures I used in my M.F.A. project, but I never really got too far into the sculpting/model creation. I’ve had R2 since early yesterday morning, and it’s like you guys turned the lights on for me. I can’t stop playing with dynamesh. Stuff that would totally wreck my mesh no longer gets in my way.
This update opened the door for me, and I’m sure a lot of other people. So, I just wanted to give a big thank you to Pixologic!
One day with the new toy… and already noticed a major issue that beta testers didn’t.
Guess where it is. In RETOPOLOGY tool. Already asked for help in troubleshooting

Does pixologic declared a war with retopology, or what? :lol:
Thank goodness, dynamesh works great on the tablet. I’m so happy you don’t need to have crazy hardware to use this technology. It also works great with imported meshes. I was able to remesh a file with dynamesh on my tablet in a few seconds, when it took 3dcoat’s auto-retopo 3 hours to do it on my workstation with all kinds of holes in the result…
Great work!
took me a bit to figure out how to get stronger shadows, i was messing with lightcap and shadow strengths , but never really got a heavy shadow , it always quite soft/light. Then i found the modifiers under material -> environment , Shadow : 50 and AO : 50. Now these have a serious impact
Still its fun so far , messing about in the new version.
I Have to admit my jaw DID literally drop while viewing the final video for ZBrush 4 update…what version 5 might have is almost scarey…Have had a quick play with DynaMesh…there just aren`t enough hours in the day are there?
Thanks again Pixologic…and it`s free.Good grief!!
Hey…um… I haven’t received the zb4 update email yet. How do I go by getting this. I’m eager to get started.
If you haven’t received your upgrade email then please submit a ticket at http://support.pixologic.com. You’ll need to include your original purchase information.
I really like this upgrade and have written a short blog post about it showing a quick test using DynaMesh. If interested, my blog is at:
