I just wanted to open this thread in anticipation of the upcoming best digital sculpting program out there. It's not out just yet, but release is imminent! They said it will be out at the end of august and, well... it's the last day of august Now could someone bring us the goodies, please? I'm sure there's a lot of people here waiting for this... I'm practically drooling

For those that missed the news, and to better explain my excitement:

(thank you, Georgeivan, for originally pointing this out in the Mudbox 2010 thread - I may have missed this had it not been for your comment).

If I find anything regarding this, I'll keep you guys posted.

looks like they finally went 3d for the ui

[gordongimano]

I don't know yet. I noticed the 3d grid, too, but I don't know if that means that the workspace is now fully 3d. It would be nice to see that, it might improve the work-flow for newcomers. But once you get accustomed to the tools, you realize they're pretty well implemented as they are. I did read something about a revamp of the navigation - and that's definitely a good thing, as I used this program since version 2.5 and I still have trouble with the navigation, especially when going from modeling a mesh in max or maya and then detailing it in zb. I hope it's a maya style navigation. And another feature I'm looking forward to is map-baking from hd geometry, and the addition of ambient occlusion baking. Of course, the biggest cookie I'm drooling over is their much hyped zspheres II technology. It's just incredible! It really makes voxel sculpting in 3d coat obsolete, especially when you consider the difference in speed, because if there's any feature that makes zb stand out, it's its blazing speed... now if only they'd move it in the 64 bit territory (although, when you think about it, it's hard to believe a 32 bit application is capable of doing what zb does). Who knows, maybe ZB4 (also scheduled this year) will fill in that gap.

yeah it looks awesome i might give up mudbox for it, the windows version should be posted tomorrow or so keep a look out for it

Holly crap! Thanks, Wall-e, for pointing that video out! This piece of software is just looking better and better by the second. It makes the waiting almost painful.

[dench]

Excuse me, I thought this was the release section. Sorry to bother y'all.

[bobthedog]

that's what i thought ... i was so happy like "OMG it's out and on cgpersia first !!!!!!" and instead what we've got "hey look at an old video they put on their webpage ... it seems nice !" ...........................................

okay

[Switcher]

Moved to Request Section

[bobthedog]

[Wall-e]

they are so crap at releasing stuff, i don't think they have ever released something on time

[yanchet]

they dont understand what is releasing date

[dench]

Sure, complain about something you're getting for free.

[raycharles]

That's a good one dench!

[Wall-e]

ye really clever dench

[Pickles24]

I wouldn't get my hopes up to high for getting this thing in the near future. It easily took 6+ months to get a key for 3.1 after is was released.

[Wall-e]

it wasn't that long, i had one soon after 3.1 came out

[gordongimano]

They've just posted some tutorial videos regarding the new features in 3.5. I guess it won't be long now. In any case, it's a a little something too keep us busy/excited. Just check out "Sketching with ZSpheres Basics" and "Surface Noise" sets of videos.

watched this morning, its amazing. mudbox needs to do alot to catch up, there'll be even more goodness in zbrush 4

[rage]

zb is still behind in 3d painting and shading capabilities. mb has taken slightly different direction so you can't really compare them head to head.

[sivartc]

This will be great when its availlable.

[Wall-e]

i prefer the way mudbox paints straight on to the texture, i hate in zbrush how theres either polypainting or projection master. but as a complete package zbrush 3.5 completely blows mudbox 2010 out the water, and zbrush 4 isn't too far behind which will have improved painting features. mudbox 2011 will have to have some seriously impressive stuff to keep competing, even 3D coat is getting better quicker

[yanchet]

it is released

[bohr]

can someone upload?

[ceebee]

also requesting this

[HamiltonAFJr]

It's been released:

Links:

[phhmlw]

Yeah, it's released but it is being distributed electronically in waves, so there is no place to go to dl it unless you're a registered software owner of 3.1. May take awhile for it to get to non-customers.

[gordongimano]

Well, I think people are downloading it like crazy, because their site isn't loading, so I guess the server is overwhelmed by the number of downloads. I only hope someone with the possibility and will to share it with the rest of us will get their hands on it soon.

[maniacesp]

Woah! link pleaseeee! hahah

[Ankebut]

link please

[amagalius]

I really want it!!

[Cptn_fx_box]

will it need to be cracked or will you be able to just install it without a crack

[gordongimano]

I'm pretty sure nobody here is able to answer that question right now. Just wait for it.

[patar3d]

im pretty sure it needs a new crack or sumkind of keygen coz the existing license owner need to re activate

[Georgeivan]

In zbrushcentral some guys are saying that you need to uninstall previous version first.

[poep]

I haven't seen much work on zbrushcentral with the new zspheres. Someone saying it's like of drawing with a glue gun. I'm curious how long it takes to get the new zbrush. Does anybody still know how long it took last time with 3.1?

-edit- the cgpersia way

[Raku]

We need this Asap!!

[jackie59]

Zsphere II is incredible
Please link for Zbrush 3.5, my Wacom Intuos wait...

[spijin]

[Forage]

It is a completely new version, not a patch, or update. So this could take a couple of weeks. Patience.

[manzarek123]

Wow!, i found this forum, and it's great!, and yeah please, somebody upload this AMAZING software, well, like Forage say: be Patience

[yuzhoudiyi]

I need this .zbrush3.5

[Illidan]

[astearon]

When 3.1 was released i had it in about 7 hours ... but this one seems harder to get by.
Oh well, guess there's nothing else to do but wait.

[nyomeka]

Zbrush 3.5 update ZiP link please! If I have it I can finish my portfolio, get a job and actually buy Zbrush! Thank You!

[rebel]

quit begging it will get posted when it gets posted!

[yuzhoudiyi]

who can send the upgrade link?

[phhmlw]

Only registered owners of Zbrush 3.1 have access to it at this point, so it will take a bit for it to get out to us. Stop asking for the link.

[rebel]

thats what i said like 2 post ago lol
