Here’s what Rick had to say about his experience with a 3DBOXX
You know those commercials where one guy says I’m a Mac and the other says I’m a PC? , well, I’m a Mac. That presented a problem when Jaime Labelle from Pixologic asked me to beta test ZBrush 3.0 because currently it is only is for Windows. I once owned a PC but gave it away because I disliked it so much. I wasn’t thrilled about having to work on one again. Well, Jaime arranged for me to use a 64-bit BOXX machine to beta test ZB 3.0 and now I guess I have to buy the damn thing because it is sweet! I was working on ZBrush models with many subtools (new feature in ZBrush3), each consisting of around 20 million polys and the BOXX didn’t even slow down. I found it to be fast and dependable and I just like the way it looks. So now, I’m just confused, I still love my Mac, but BOXX has changed the way I feel about PC’s
