Well, I could go either way on keeping Ray Dream Studio in the title. I was probably the last holdout, too, I was still using RDS 5 up until last year when I upgraded to C3, and I've opened it maybe once since. But for the years I was still using it, I didn't post here, because I didn't really see any other posts from RDS users. I didn't want to ask "How can I do X in RDS5?" and hear "You silly little man. You can't do X in RDS5!! You need to UPGRADE to be able to do X!!" or more likely, "I used to know how to do X in RDS5, but it's been SOOOOOOOO long since I used it, I don't even remember what all the Icons mean any more..." However, If we DO decide to drop RDS from the Forum Name, then I vote we ADD Amapi in it's place. There seem to be far more Amapi users hanging around here than RDS users, and all of us who have C4Pro are now Amapi Owners, if not users, and maybe the Amapi modelers will stop picking on the VM modelers so much. You know what I mean, "Why'd you mode that in the Vertex modeler? I can't do squat in the vertex modeler, it's so hard! It's like trying to learn a new language! Everything is soooo much easier in AMAPI! You should use Amapi, it's so much better! Buy it now, and I'll show you the secret handshake!!" Ironically, I want to learn modeling in Amapi, but it's so hard! It's like trying to learn a new language! But it has nurbs, and manifolds, and Coons surfaces, and MacInerny Nodules......(Ok, I made that one up) But I has a lot of cool, useful modeling tools that I barely understand and really want to learn. Maybe we could even get some Amapi Tutorials put in the Back Room, that would be cool...
