think all art ocmmunities have eroded a bit, because the damn economic crpa has ruined so many lives

Cheers! :)

Sorry just getting as wide a range of opinion/info as possible.

Took ages to learn Maxwell's complex, pain in ass nature, lol.

And spent ages learning Vue's render system (and writing tutorials on it), more you know the better ;)

my adorable dog just gave me her paw, her way of telling me she wants out ;)

art's only way I can be creative etc nowadays so not being able to do it for entire year...blech

and they want to waste another £100 billion on nuclear weapons which are of course, based nowhere near the S.E. of ENgland :P
the sods recently privatized the base where they store them, 25 miles from Glasgow, two hundred hydrogen bombs, safety, privatized!!!

we can't get rid of Westminster fast enough: Alba Gu Brath ;) North and West of England should join us

no kidding! though "austerity" is a complete lie, just like it was 80 years ago

Bryster

yeah 2013 sucked and you know better than most just what crap is being done by our "government" :/

you and me both ;)

Bruno

ah keep hoping for unbiased ;) I'm spoiled using Maxwell for Rhino hehe

lived with Mum all my life, looked after her, she was partially paralyzed and I used to wheel her around afore we both got too ill, was great fun, sometimes I'd go fishing and she'd sit by the car painting :)

goodf family makes life so much better

woo welcome back Czar

ny! :)

they had better not pull a fast one on us and expect us to pay for a product that should be PART of Vue

we've been demanding a better plant editor for years, if they force us to pay and use an external editor...well, that's way out of line.

this had damn well better be the new plant editor FOR and within Vue, with an external module for other non-Vue apps, just like Ozone is really an externalized version of Vue's atmosphere engine

why should we have to pay for an updated plant editor, eh?! HELL NO, so it better be a free module for existing Vue users.

we'll see what they say later, but I will be very vocal in my outrage if this is not the new Vue plant editor module, free for those who have Vue with Botannica (and that means Complete Infinite and other versions too), AND a standalone for the liks of 3DMAX etc

oh bravo! :)

hm, more news, seems very hazy

adobe claimed that they had only meant this for CS2 owners as they are turning off the servers that are for CS2 registering

but then that post was removed from the Adobe site

so it all seems total screw up/odd

well, they released it open to the world, with serials....lol, so either the jokes on them by their own screw up (and BOY would the deserve it for being so greedy)

or they've finally grown some sense and treating people like potential customers/beneficial, not thieves or victims.

I'm sitll using Dreamweaver4 I bought in college, no damn way I'll pay thier sick prices for a freakin' app like that :/
Begrudged EVERY damn penny I've paid for Photoshop, grrr. awesome app, but sick sick prices when it's damn near a monopoly/industry standard.
Stuck with PaintShopPro until PS finally got a decent interface and PSP had become total crap thanks to Corel, sigh

way too much "elitism so keep price up" and greed with these companies (see Autodesk especially)

Vege-Mite

my pleasure bud :) just hope Adobe aren't going ot be dicks about this, they could garner a TON of potential new customers/good will, this way
but corporations/leaders are often complete bloody arseholes, from personal experience, and psychology (you're x4 more likely to meet a psychopath in a leadership position in Big Business, than you are anywhere else in normal life, except prisons or asylums,no kidding!)

still WIP

Vladimir's right, le chics absolutely love interesting accents! he says like Sean Connery :P

I find it funny that Americans have to get "Taggart" and "Trainspotting" subtitled/re-dubbed respectively, yet we here in Scotland speak English...and yet we've been able to understand various US accents for decades! ;)

And Vladimir's accent is very soft compared to some of the dialects from Russia.

then again, those of us from near Glasgow, sound like psychotic gerbils on acid and speed and thus, the rest of the world seems sedate and tranquil :P

aye that's damn sweet as I use dirt materials a lot :)
