RE: Sweet deal from Lightwave for displaced Softies
LOL! Moving from Softimage to LW would be like moving from a Ferrari to a rusted out VW beetle that doesn't have an engine, steering wheel or seats. Can you undo things in the dope sheet editor yet, or do you still have to save your scene every time you are about to make any changes so that if you accidentally screw something up you can reload you scene to undo it?

Re: Sweet deal from Lightwave for displaced Softies
I'm glad they gave you enough time to take advantage of the deal, what, just over three weeks? ps Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Sat, Mar 8, 2014 at 11:59 AM, Stephen Davidson magic...@bellsouth.netwrote: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2014/03/prweb11647567.htm -- Best Regards, * Stephen P.

Re: Sweet deal from Lightwave for displaced Softies
Nice offer, and I'll always have affection for Lightwave since it was my first 3d app. But I haven't felt motivated to upgrade my license at the same price.

Re: Sweet deal from Lightwave for displaced Softies
What's nice about it? They're holding a gun to your head saying you have 3 weeks to get it or the deal runs out. They've been running these shitty buy now, we're not telling you when the sale is going to expire deals for the past year. Other vendors need to not be doing business like this. Extend a longer eval like Foundry did for the demo with a long term time frame for migration deals. All this shit is doing is making people pull the trigger too early just to get the deal then regretting it as they haven't had a full amount of time to eval the software in their pipeline. People were complaining they only had a few weeks to make a decision with AD about upgrading their subs to keep Softimage available. Why aren't you holding the other companies to the same standards? You should.
