Quote - @ksanderson, the DS3 Wiki was updated by users when I bought it, not staff. It may have been started by staff, but everything I found was user updated.
"Making progress" on documentation some 8 months? after release of the software is a pretty poor show, imo.Stuff like that should be done before the software is released, not after. Everyone else seems to manage to release docs at the same time just fine, except Daz.
Considering they had a pricetag of over $400 on this (alleged) professional 3D program, and they don't deliver a manual with it (because it doesn't exist), is one of the reasons why I will never consider DS in any shape or form professional software. (PS - a wiki is useless. Most companies block sites like that, even if they use the software.)@Deecey - yeah, thought it was something like that, but couldn't remember exact numbers. I just remembered it was looooooooooooooong lol.
I've never paid full price and I don't think too many others have or software would be a much bigger part of their business. I bought DS 4 Pro for $131.57 when it came out.
I'm not upset at all, especially with all the money I've saved there over the years!
If anyone didn't do their due diligence and check on stuff before buying it then they could get their money back if they ask for a refund within 30 days. Not many software companies do that AFAIK.
It's sad they didn't have a manual for the new features on release, but it's under new management and they are trying to fix that. I like training videos, so it's never been a big deal to me.
