A couple of weeks ago, a high-level official from e-on called me to discuss problems I (and quite a few others) were having with Vue 5 Infinite. This person admitted that the software was released too early.

Welcome to the world of political correctness and snarling petty attitudes. Not everyone has understood the concepts of the First Amendment and free speech Purplecloud. Obviously the idea of free-wheeling artists, engaging in civil discourse, takes the back seat to those who value entrenched, parochial views that defend the establishment of corporate software marketing. I actually thought that Renderosity respected a bit more of a free spirited approach to forums, more so than a corporately owned one. I guess Im wrong?

I would understand a lock-out on a thread if someone was denigrating another person, but because I speak out in favor of an alternative to semi-broken software, Im branded as a marketer! If this Agiel had any panache, he (or she?) would simply issue a formal challenge of creative competition. Obviously my stating the opinion that Vue4 was a worthy program was not enough! We must walk Agiels narrow path of corporate appeasement or face the wrath ofthread lockdown!

Obviously Agiels concept of the Renderosity Vue forum is that it is a place for small minded software geeks to meet and pat each other on their self-indulgent backs. Free thinking artists expressing negative, as well as the positive aspects of the 3D software market disturb this person. So, the real question for Agiel is: what is so threatening about an opinion that clashes with your own? I dont care about Eovia, or e-on. I only care that quality software gets to the people who purchase it!

Perhaps if I were to purchase ~$20,000 of Renderosity stock, Agiel would go away and get a job with e-on?

I have quite a few art pieces done with V5I, but getting there has been a very difficult and frustrating endeavor. E-ons technical support people offer no help when obvious problems occur. I dont post my work, because it is usually designed to be printed on my lovely Epson 9800 WF printer.

At any rate, thank you Purplecloud, not for you defense of my specific outspoken comments on Lyns thread, but for the defense of free and open expression!
