just want to call bullshit on this real quick, because there are no testers that work outside of pixologic. They came to the studio today to do a QA on flow and i inquired about the beta program because i was a betatester for 3 and wanted to know information about 4 and they said they will only be doing internal testing…
This. Can anyone name a single other software developer who handles updates the way Pixologic does? They get huge props from me for that, and I'm not even an avid ZBrusher.
Great news (how does pixologic makes any money?) lol And yes Mop, with the 3.12 improvements, some better paiting tools, brushes and color layers would be enought for me at this point. ah an improved retopology (why not a single button click instead of that workaround?)
I really don't think Pixologic listened to the game industry user base enough when it had the chance. They essentially ended up creating their own competition by not addressing problems some users had with the interface and tool system. Weta may still have gone on to create Mudbox anyway, but I don't think nearly as many…
At GDC I stressed so much to my Pixologic friend that if Autoback wasnt incorperated then we would riot. He said he would look into it, that when you add features like autoback it causes the app to be more system heavy and would limit the on screen pixol draw. Only time will tell :(.
I'm good with what I have. I saw no reason to go to R3 in that video whatsoever. Maybe a brush or two would be nice, but otherwise, doesn't seem worth the hassle. Here's a drinking game, every time they use the word "powerful" drink a beer. You'll die of alcohol poisoning before the end of any promo vid for pixologic.

I see your point JordanW but I dont think its old hat there are still issues like pior mentions but what really annoys me is marketing saying its artist focused when I dont see alot of artists excited about the UI or workflow. I think people will only stop complaining when pixologic realise that what theyve been doing for…
I think by now we're all pretty used to zbrush's kind of self-felating brand of promotion, but what I really wonder, is if it is gonna be august of 2009. Look how long 3 was delayed. They said, "It's coming out XX 200X!! Everybody love us!" Then when that date came and went, that thread was deleted, along with all the…
