ZBrush 3 for MacOSX


On September 29th, OSX users will finally be able to get their hands on ZBrush from Pixologic.

(ZBrush is a digital sculpting tool that combines 3D/2.5D modeling, texturing, and painting. It uses a proprietary "pixol" technology which stores lighting, color, material, and depth information for all objects on the screen. The main difference between ZBrush and more traditional modeling packages is that it is more akin to sculpting.

Like a pixel, each pixol contains information on X and Y position and color values. Unlike pixels, it also contains information on depth (or Z position), orientation and material. Only ZBrush related files can store pixol information, and exported files (to JPEG or PNG, for example) will not have pixol data, as those have been rendered into 2D.

This technique is similar in concept to a voxel, another kind of 3D pixel.)

Awesome! I haven't been able to try out Zbrush because I'm on a mac, so now I get a chance to dabble in it.

Not to start a Mac / PC thing, but this delay isn't unique to ZBrush and it is why I don't use Macs.
