Quote - The good news is that we are also working on it internally. So with input from the community experts and our internal team, we can get it done a lot faster.
This, IMHO, is actually a very sound idea - often the people creating the software really aren't the best people to have writting the manual. Plus, the heavy users typically know more about how to use the software than the people who make it (unless they also use it a great deal).
Got to admit though, no matter what DAZ does, people will find something to pick at. The last few months on the forums have been very unpleasant with all the complaining, whining, DAZ bashing, and fighting. Either it's a really sad view of the 3D hobbiest micro culture, or a prime example of how the vocal minority can ruin things for the silent majority (I hope it's the latter).
The rest of my post should be read with a soft, and somewhat sad tone, and should in no way be considered a personal attack, but rather an attenpt to reach out to someone.
Manley, I know you have made a lot of positive contributions to the Carrara Community, and it did make me sad when you got banned from DAZ (nobody told me - it was obvious you were gone). But my sadness was not from your being banned, it was because I knew from your increasingly disruptive behaviour you would have to be banned. You had gone out of control, that was why I was sad. As mentioned above, you were making completely OT posts in threads with your crusade against DAZ, and completely derailing the threads. I'm only pointing this out hoping that maybe you will take a step back, and look at things objectively, and realize how disruptive you had become. Your contributions were valuable, but your disruptions for several weeks before you were banned really overshadowed your contributions. Of course this is just my opinion, and probably no worth a hill of beans.
Flame on.......
