Something that occurs to me is the fact that all of our concerns we express here may not be heard by any of the Eovia people anyway. As a software developer, I know the drastic pitfalls of telling customers about a deadline and then fall flat and miss it. I think that's one extra good way to make customers way more mad no matter what their state of concern. I do however think that if they're in alpha or beta testing, a note to us on that front would be good. It would also be useful if some of those Beta testers could post on the forum and tell us how things are going be they good or bad. Dates and deadlines are risky but reliable underground news is ok. Anybody from Eovia out there listening? You don't have to tell me your name. Just let me know how it's going. The forum is good for venting frustration and it's probably Ok to do that as long as it's reasonably constructive. Amapi is just another piece of software in our 3D software ocean that we all have to consider and weigh. Eovia is partners with TGS and I think they've given us Carrara victims a shot at getting some software for half price. They may think it's a partial pacifier for now but I think it's just a nice thing for them to do regardless if Amapi is a good deal or not. It didn't cost me anything to get the offer. I don't think Carrara will lose modeling capabilities in its future incarnations so it doesn't really matter to me. The Eovia team didn't create or fuss with Amapi. It's just the software their partners make.
