I appreciate your ability to give Kaihean the benefit of the doubt Robynsveil.... I didn't use to be so jaded.
I've been around a long time. I use Carrara 8 Pro, DS4 and Poser Pro 2012 (which I was finally able to afford). I do not think I'm just a bitter old fart... though others might be in a better position to decide that for themselves.
I use Carrara because that's what I can afford. I don't use Photoshop (I use Gimp), Max, Maya, C4D (though I do play with it on a friend's computer with his legal copy). Modo, Lightwave, or anything High Dollar. Why? Because I'm a Hobbyist and it would be a bit much for me to "Own" Thousands of dollars worth of software.... anyone of which would take me 112 years to learn.
I've spent a LOT of time around Pirates (I worked with a bunch) and they are typically pretty easilly spotted. Kaihean is very young, uses the vernacular, spelling, and grammatical style of Pirates and Script Kiddies, asks odd questions for someone with a legally installed copy of a software program....... and has the typical installation of an illegally obtained software program.
I'm not one of those people that thinks every 14 year old with a copy of Maya represents a loss of a grand or whatever for the huge Publisher.... as most of the Pirates of any software are never going to use it for much of anything anyway. I DO hate Pirated copies of stuff Like Crossdresser, or Models when it represents a lot of work offered at minimal cost by a small group (or one) person(s).
Now.... I could be wrong. But I'll stand by what I said until someone can convince me otherwise.
“So, roll me further B_t__h!”
