Most people expected it to ship within a few months, but since then, Pixologic has maintained radio silence – as you can see by the increasingly despairing series of user comments on our original ZBrush 4R8 story.Īs a result, today’s Livestream was a complete – and very welcome – surprise: while users hoped that the firm would announce a release date for ZBrush 4R8, few expected that release date to be the same day. Updated: The release is available to download now.Īn unexpected release for an unexpected updateįirst announced at Pixologic’s ZBrush Summit user event last year, ZBrush 4R8 was an unexpected extra stop on the way to the even-more-long-awaited ZBrush 5: the next commercial release of the software. The release was due to become available within an hour of today’s Livestream showcasing the new features – that is, by 4pm PDT – so if you’re lucky, it should be out by the time you read this. Pixologic has announced that ZBrush 4R8, the long-awaited update to its sculpting software, will ship today.
