Zbrush Core comes "free" with a 200$ Wacom. OP you could buy a used Z-Brush license. I've just searched the web very shortly and i think Pixologic doesn't actually mind Users selling their license to other users. Pixologic is awesome, but even if they wheren't, there are the special "rights" here in Europe/ Germany. If you…
So just to clarify my initial question, because probably someone else thinks about it: I just bought ZBrush from Pixologic since they offer 20% off right now during the ZBrush Summit 2016. Price is 585€ and there is no additional taxes applied or something. :)
Hey guys, I just sent two messages to retailers in the US and both said that they can not sell it outside of the US. Which means I really need to think about spending about 900-1000usd on ZBrush. Well, sh**. Just hit up Pixologic directly, we'll see what they can tell me and I'll let you know then.
