ZBrush 4

[Mike Bailey]

Pixologic: a new release coming in August 2009.

All major software companies should take note of the upgrade price.

Yes, I wonder how Pixologic manages to give away all these updates for free, and it has been some years, now.
How nice is to pay a software and have it up-to-date for a few years.

I wonder if I would get a free upgrade. I bought a version back in 2001 I believe. Upgraded a few times and was using version 2 when that computer's drive crashed. I never had time to devote to learning new feature of version 3 so did not request the update.

Still do not have time to devote to learning all the things I've forgotten and all the new features.

I had hoped to be retired about now and have time....recession and poor investment decisions/advice have shot that idea down.

Yes Bill, dig up your invoice and other info and follow this link http://www.pixologic.com/zbrush/upgrade/
Be sure to register ZB3.1 so you will be inline for ZB4

Yes, Bill, you can get the upgrade to 3.1 from ZBrush 2 or earlier! I had no problems doing so, and I also got a cd backup (there is only slow dialup connection available in my area so downloading can be a problem). One thing that was pointed out about ZBrush 3.1 is that it doesn't work well with any type of RAID system. Your mileage may vary.

It really is terrific that the free upgrades are still ongoing and I'm looking forward to ZBrush 4. This is the only 3D ap that I am upgrading these days as I'm just fed up with all the other expensive ones.

Hello Maya,

You may already be aware of this, but Caligari is now giving away Truespace 7.6 thanks to having been bought by Microsoft. I appreciate this will be a horribly difficult download for you on dial-up, so maybe you have a friend who could do this for you and burn it to CD/DVD and post it to you.

great news, i also use zbrush, but i do wonder... it will be free... yay! ... it will be a revolution (which pretty much every update to any 3d software out there is, if you ask the marketing )... yay! ... but is there any information, about new features and other details on the update available out there?

[Crow Haven]

There may be some hints throughout the ZBrush forums...more will surely materialize in the months ahead.
