Pixologic announced the released date for Zbrush 4 Windows and Macintosh versions, which would be Monday August 9, 2010. Windows and Mac – I believe this is the first simultaneous platform release ever. I could be wrong – perhaps they were announced, but the releases will still lag for the Macintosh versions, as Zbrush 3.5 still isn’t available for Macintosh the last I checked the Pixologic store.

“ZBrush 4 will be released for Windows and Mac systems on 8-9-10 (Monday, August 9, 2010)

At the same time, we will also be releasing updated versions of all major plugins, as well as GoZBrushsupport for Modo, Cinema 4D, 3DSMax and Maya for Windows and Mac systems. More information about ZBrush 4 and its features will be disclosed as we get closer to launch. Come see us at SIGGRAPH 2010and see Z4 in action!

ZBrush 4 will be released as a free upgrade to all current registered ZBrush users, as well as for those who purchase ZBrushbefore Z4 is released. Getting the upgrade will be easy, and linked to your Support Account.
