Quote - Maybe yes, and maybe no, but it certainly doesn't hurt to dream!  The worst that can happen is that we're right back to where we started!  Why does all this flak remind me of the crap I had to take when I decided to remap Posette to take V3 textures?  Or when I also remapped V4.1 to do the same?  Could it be that someone feels a vested interested threatened?

Not sure, and honestly I'm not going to worry about it anymore.  Let the flak throwers fire away, wouldn't be the first time I've had to run through a little ak-ak to get the job done.

Funny thing is, Blender is an open source 3d graphics app that was registered on source forge in August of 2007, and they already have a huge support base even though the app itself is not exactly what I consider to be user friendly, and nobody seems to bat an eye over that.

I guess it's a good thing that nobody who first started on that project listened to all the folks who said it was impossible or that they'd never get that project off the ground, because it's doing pretty good for an app that is so relatively young.  I seriously doubt they started out with a big development team either - just one guy who said, wouldn't it be great if

But I guess a lot of people aren't too familiar with open source, particularly those who haven't had much experience with Linux, so I guess not much point in taking it personally.

-Never fear, RenderDog is near!  Oh wait, is that a chew toy?  Yup. ok, nevermind.. go back to fearing...
