I willl keep using zspheres too… i think they are the best way to start a character and play with proportions and poses… then you can bring your mesh to dynamesh etc… but my first step will be zspheres for the most of the cases. of course, it depends of hat i am going to sculpt.
awesome–thanks!
still waiting for e-mail… so I got question to lucky ones…is ZB finally 64 bits?
Not 64 bit, this thread started by saying ZB 5 will have a 64 bit version.
Looking forward to getting my link.
anyone tell me if retopology is improved any?
no but it has been stated by pixologic that z5 will be 64 bit !!! im alright with that news
Woke up to an excellent day in the neighborhood. Thanks Pix.
I’ve had that issue (on a Mac) but did not know there was a known bug. Is there a list of current known bugs? And does this release come with a list of what has been fixed?
Still waiting for mine to come!
The cavity mask for brushes is a great tool was sad to see it broken in 4.0 but pix has fixed it.
Seems they cleaned up lots of bugs in this release. DynaMesh is most defiantly the star though. A true workflow
encasement!

I’m having trouble waiting so I decided to turn it into a drinking game:
no mail = more vodka
Man, got up early (on time). Still no “Golden Ticket”. Just trying to perpetuate my enthusiasm. 
Love the “golden ticket” comment earlier. Lol. Still waiting for mine too. I had to change my email, so that will probably delay it as well. Can’t wait for the magical combination of Sculptris and Zbrush, and the best of both worlds!
Got a second upgrade notice. odd.
Oh, for those who are waiting, last time it took me a few days after the release to get zb4. Take some solace in that and in the fact that it seems that all the zPlugIns are already installed
Fantastic! Can’t wait! 
Thanks Matt. Will get on that ASAP. 
Was just waiting if I recieved R2 during the night. =l
Support page here I come.
Ps. Sorry, I don’t know why the support ticket thing keeps
Slipping my mind.
still no love from pixo in my inbox…
and just a suggestion for the next ZB release:
instead of making the global release date on day “X”, but have customers possibly wait anxiously +7 extra days for the ZB release to arrive (while refreshing their emails every 5 minutes looking for the golden ticket, visiting the pixologic website every 10 minutes looking for goodies, jamming the forums looking to see if anybody else got their ZB yet, eagerly waiting as the days and minutes pass by, knowing that somebody is already happily playing with their new toy and youre not), how about setting the official release date an extra 7 days (or more) ahead of your anticipated last email delivery date and “surprise” us when we get our ZB gift earlier?
it would probably take a few days before people chimed in that the updates were being distributed earlier and jam the website and forums looking for answers… heck, by that time most of the customers would most likely have their copies and it would keep them from having nervous twitches (and writing nervous emails) leading up to the time they got their new ZB.
i know, it sounds diabolical and i’m no e-commerce mastermind but it might… just… work… good thinking batman!
a n y w a y s… i still love this company and the product they deliver and what they represent to the digital arts world (and pretty much everything else about them) so i will now go happily shut my pie hole, make myself another bloody caesar (or 10) and wait patiently for my present to arrive 
Ps. Sorry, I don’t know why the support ticket thing keeps
Slipping my mind.
Cuz MTB, your mind is slippery like that.:lol:
I have a question to whoever has R2. Has the retopology tools been enhanced or fixed in any way, i.e the visability of topology showing through from the back of the object, this for me either means Dynamesh is purly a concept tool, rather than a part of the final production, as currently retopology is imposible, and no workaround iv seen has ever worked to bring it to how it was working in v3.5?
Thanks.
As a matter of interest - how many ZBrush license owners exist ?
Luxology IMO has the most user-friendly download and licensing solution in the business, so urge Pixologic to have a look at how they solved it…
Yes, I was just having a little joke. Clearly Zshperes still have distinct uses, especially with rigging, or making very specific types of shapes in Zbrush. And of course you still have to use them to make use of Zbrush’s ponderous retopo features. But I do think zspheres and zsketching are largely obsolete for the purpose they were originally intended…quickly blocking out rough form. That boat sailed for me with Sculptris, and now with dynamesh too, I presume. There are far better, faster options both in and outside of Zbrush now.
Obviously, preferences differ.
[edit] Still no R2 for me 
. My Surliness and Despair scores have both increased by 1. I’m saving vs lunacy at -2 !
Are the emails sent in the order of purchase or is that completely random? If it is the order of purchase I guess I have a long wait
