I hate leaping to the defence of people I don't know but leaping to the conclusion that: "my guess is that Kiwisheep has an illegal version of both Lightwave and Vue, because what would explain that he doesn't know what the price differences are. That would also explain his rather foolish comparison." At no point has Kiwisheep responded to the price comparison so may know about it and have a different view on the subject. When dealing with "virtual" products the price is not a good guide to quality. For example many of Daz's models are supperior to more expensive models sold elsewhere they can afford to do this because they sell far more of their models at that lower price than their high priced competitors. I could go into more detail but it would involve reproducing a six week module of my MBA about pricing that is really, really dull. " And - this morning i tried to see his gallery etc. He already has disappeared as far as i can see. He is not found under his nick nor under his "real" name." And again the suggestion that those of us without galleries are in some way less legitamate than someone who does. I don't have any of those things either for various personal reasons - it doesn't make me a hacker, a troll or a software pirate - it just means I don't have them. Frankly given that someone dropped the accusation of piracy I'd be out of here pretty quick if I was legit and new. Of course the alternative would be to consider various legal actions I could take against my accusers... All I'm saying guys and gals is don't leap to conclusions like they do in some other forums round here and keep this place nice and friendly.
