ZBrush was an amazing piece of software when it came out. I stopped following developments in 3d graphics around the time that happened, but I remember that most of the remaining Mirai users active on the web back then moved over to it.

Dave Cooper of Genworks (http://www.genworks.com) told me that he met some of the Mirai developers (they're still around: http://www.izware.com/) at a conference not too long ago, and that they're working on the next iteration of Mirai.

A next generation Mirai ? Wow... wasn't even aware that this company trully still exist, since they seem dead for almost 10 years now (no update or anything).

Funny thing is that, since it's in Common Lisp, when there's a problem, you were dumped into the debugger, which was scary... only now do I know that it's an amazing opportunity to access the underlying system in fact !

Ah yes, the mythical Mirai 1.5! I'm afraid nothing will ever come of it. Last update to anything from Izware(nichimen) was in 2005 and even then was a bit of a surprise and it was an update to Nendo. Mirai belongs to the history now. We now have far superior software and features than we had with Mirai, but Mirai was still a cool concept.
