Wooawoo !

I think I will take some holidays in May/June.

Finally after waiting for 2 years.

Excellent news that it is a free upgrade. I'll go dust off my 2.0 and DVD tutorials.

Absolutely mind expanding! I hope the interface has a little less complexity, and is more consistent with other 3D apps, but if not...well, the results are seemingly more than worth the pain. I have this in my mid-May vacation zone, please Pixologic don't push it back again, bugs or not.

I have been trying out mudbox and its pretty neat, and am considering buying, so will be interesting to see how Z3 compares. I remember shelling out quite a few dollars for Z2 in expectation of this upgrade.

Edit : 1 billion polygons, holy cow, hope I dont have to buy machine with 256 processers

The interface looks very similar, but it does have genuine 3D sculpting, although the projection master button still seems to be there. I read that one of the beta testers was running it pretty well on a pretty low end machine. It has some really interesting ideas in the video, I hope they are not just 5 trick pony features. The transpose looks usefull for someone posing a scene, like temporary bones. And the concept sculpting looks quick and there are a couple of different texturing options from images which look very handy. As long as the 3d sculpting is sensational then I guess everyone will be happy. I hope the workflow is simpler otherwise its out with the training DVDs again

Well they have to keep Gnomon workshop DVDs in business. :-)

tonytrout · 13th May 2007, 22:37

let's see if it will be the beginning of the day (for us in europe side) or end of the day!
Where pixologic is? California?

tonytrout · 15th May 2007, 11:54

Looks like midnight of the 15th (LA time) from their new front page. Another whole day to wait......

Thomas · 15th May 2007, 12:36

damn!

Wася · 15th May 2007, 15:00

What is LA time? GMT-6? GMT-7?

At least, they put on the frontpage the prettiest of ZBrush 3 beta figures. Not one of this ugly mugs widely used for ZBrush power demonstration.

Thomas · 15th May 2007, 17:05

it's GMT -7 if I'm not wrong. 9 hours less than french time which is GMT+2

15th May 2007, 22:18

I should just go to their offices and pick my up.

I'm around the LA area.

Wася · 16th May 2007, 08:34

At midnight?

Take two. Another one for me.

tonytrout · 16th May 2007, 15:57

It is a dream of smoke and mirrors. 24 hr delay, like I never saw that coming

Thomas · 16th May 2007, 16:22

The new website is now open FYI. Waiting for the email now!

tonytrout · 16th May 2007, 16:31

Sadly theres a sticky in the forum saying its going to be another

24 hr delay

Aunty Betty · 17th May 2007, 00:22

Tony -take a look at polypainting with regard to your points on the projection master http://www.zbrush.info/wiki/index.php/Polypainting

and HD Sculpting with regard handling with ease vast polygon counts http://www.zbrush.info/wiki/index.php/HD_Sculpting

then feel sorry for me running a pre-intel mac

sadot · 17th May 2007, 07:35

I have 3 macs only one with Intel and I dont have a Windows license...only one single machine for one single program?

Zbrush its out of my hands
