I

And whom so ever chooses to remain in the crumbling caves of the past
shall  only produce primitive anachronistic artifacts from the past.

if you have "Simple Needs" as 3D Artist and are not concerned with ANY modern day standards of 3D rendering/illustration output
then by all means hold dearly to your rudimentary quaint little last century programs
and the substandard outdated hardware &OS systems to run them.
but to call the modern versions "Crap"  simply because of your lack of ability to learn what most others have
 is not really a mature statement.

I know some people for example that still cling to the Delusion the
Apple computer Should not have moved forward to the powerful
Unix based OSX system.
I know a person still running Mac OS 8.5 on a 166MHZ So called "powermac"
using poser4.
he cant run V3 certainly not V4!! no Daz studio no modern applications at all
and is always begging for venders to retrofit products for the older Mill2 figures
which they never do  of course.
 Ironicly  he owns an older imac G4 running OSX
and has poser5,poser6, poser7 sitting on  a shelf still in the original boxes
I have Virtually begged him to least install P5 or P6 on the Mac G4 to take a look just poke around try some test renders
but the mere thought of it seems to leave him PARALIZED with FEAR

Fear of change can be a very destructive force in a person life
particularly a person with "creative interests"
but to each there own

cheers

Yep, it only takes  one person to start the old whine of "if you're not using what I think is the best, then you're stuck in the past....."

It's a personal choice, depending on what the person wants to use the software for.  Up until your statment this was actually quite an enlightening and very civil conversation for a change.

So very sorry some of us don't live up to your expectations of what we as artists should use to produce our own artwork.  I'm happy that you are happy with what works for you, you should be the same for me.  If not, then why comment at all other then to insult or ridicule people? Can you tell I'm really tired of others telling me what is best in my creative life?

Merry Christmas :)

I hope your holidays are blessed and your new year is creative and good to you.
