Poor sales for the LightWave Only edition of the **[Dystopia Megalopolis Pack A](http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?ViewSoftgood=38835)** have prompted us to withdraw this item from the Renderosity Marketplace. This is an advanced notice, so there will be a two-week period before this product is deleted. Hopefully, we will be able to re-release this product along with the 3DS/OBJ version and the Enhanced Poser Edition. Thank you all very much. Cheers! M

Lightwave users should be ashamed of themselves...

Lightwave users should be ashamed of themselves... No reason they should. Not everyone uses Lightwave here at Rendo and not every other program can suck in a LWO file. When Moe releases the 3DS/OBJ and Poser Editions he will have sales. Quality always shows and Moe has that in spades. John

sigh humour is so difficult to convey in HTML message blocks... I was joking, implying that Lightwave users had no taste in quality products... Oh well, never mind.

Is that the same set as the original free Poser version? An 'enhanced' Poser version sounds great! :)

I was joking, implying that Lightwave users had no taste in quality products... That, I think, is exactly what Geodesic250 was referring to. The number/percentage of Lightwave users that actually visit this site in search of products is going to be pretty slim. Rendo is not (like it or not) known as a "generic 3D graphics" site, but for it's connection to Poser. Just as I would not expect Poser products to sell well at CGTalk, I do not expect Lightwave & Maya to sell well here. This has nothing to do with Meobius' skills (which are top-notch and I WILL be purchasing the Megalopolis pack when it hit's the OBJ format), simply a statement about the market you will reach through Rendo shrug --EK

Thank you all for the very kind feedback. :o)

The truth of the matter is that there aren't really that many LightWave users in this community, and the bulk of the members that do use LightWave are very skilled content creators in their own right. So, they're not really going to need ready made environments when they can easily build their own.

We have found out though that a lot of animators on a deadline and on a small production budget tend to purchase items like these. We're very happy to be included in the credits of quite a number of very cool fan films and animated CG projects.
