Is it really that bad?

Really though, I thought I'd come back to this thread with something interesting to read, but I mean this is really something else.

The main problem here isn't me or my product, it's a combination of doing a job for my living, and the fact that I enjoy using Bryce. I suppose the two may never go hand-in-hand.

The fact of the matter is, marketing is what I do. What's special about PRO-RENDER (for me at least) was that unlike other projects I tackle, this one was born out of a hobby I enjoy.

I'm no different from anyone else here - I'd also like to be able to earn something from doing something I enjoy.

Despite the constant "you copied it" - "we're doing it already" - "we already have that" comments, I've yet to find a download link that will give the members here a PRO-RENDER equivalent. If there is one, please tell me and I promise to drop PRO-RENDER - not out of sarcasm, but out of genuine observation that my product is not needed by any members.

I've worked many hundreds of hours on my product in order to get it to what it is now, and model or not, it's taken a lot of mental effort to get right.

So, I still intend to release it no matter what. I had strategies in place to help handle "hacked" distribution of my product, but I've decided to remove them.

I'm losing the few friends I had around here, and the product just isn't worth this sort of hassle. I intend to carry on with other projects in other industries for now. I'll wait and see if PRO-RENDER is well recieved on it's release, if it isn't, then like pog said...I tried.

I'll release PRO-RENDER, nothing so sure as that. But I'm going to wait until I know if the TA smoothing bug has been fixed in Bryce. If I don't wait for this, I'd be selling a substandard product under the pumeco brand, and that's just sooooooooo not an option.

Which brings me to personal comments;

@drac

Isn't this fun? :-)

@pog

PLEASE, share some IM's with drac, settle any differences, blow him a big wet smacker and make up. I know he's a total shit at times, but please try ;-)

@Erlik

I agree ;-)

@lordstormdragon

Hey mister lawsuit - PRO-RENDER;

is what I said it is,
does what I said it does,
produced what I said it produced!

Can't help but think you're still taking the piss with that gallery comment - you know I aint an artist, so why would I post to my gallery? But who knows, maybe one day I'll produce some art - stranger things have happened ;-)

As for the orgy, yep I'm up for that! Tell me you've got a green-eyed beauty that speaks with a Russian accent, and I'll be over there faster than Concorde on steroids :-P
