INSTALLING ZBRUSH 3.5r3

After your download, run the installer executable. You will be guided through installation of ZBrush 3.5r3. If your system lacks the necessary C redistributable from Microsoft, this will install first, then move automatically into the ZBrush installation. This installer automatically sets up necessary permissions for network environments and Windows Vista/7 users. It should be executed by an administrator, who should also activate ZBrush. (See below.) Once installed and activated by an administrator, ZBrush can be run by any user on that computer.

ZBrush 3.5r3 includes the full suite of official Pixologic plugins. These are normally installed automatically. If you choose a Custom installation, ZBrush will allow you to specify which plugins are installed. Even if you didn't choose a Custom installation you can later add or remove plugins at any time. This is done by going to the Add/Remove Programs section of your Windows Control panel. Select ZBrush from the list of installed programs, then click the Modify button found at the top of the list. The installer will ask which plugins you would like to change, then will make the requested modifications to your ZBrush installation.

It is recommended that you temporarily disable any antivirus software prior to installing and activating ZBrush. Such programs can interfere with the proper installation or prevent the license files from being created correctly. After activation, you can and should enable such software again. Also, for Windows Vista or Windows 7 users, please do not activate XP compatibility mode as doing so would interfere with ZBrush's licensing.

The documentation for ZBrush 3.5R3 is now included with the program and automatically installed with any Standard installation. In your ZBrush 3.5 R3 folder you will find the "ZBrush_3.5_new_features.pdf" and "ZBrush_3.5_tutorials.pdf".
