@Robert: No need to excuse for "the inconvenience", WE have to thank YOU for putting this stuff up. =) I´m a bit confused though regarding the contents on the V7 infopages - seems quite a few sentences are repeated throughout the three pages.
But, without wanting to be nagging, I have to admit that I find it a little... mh... disappointing that informations regarding V7 are nowhere to be found on the official Realsoft homepage. So, if someone wanted to hear any news about Realsoft products, the only source would be the email-list; or Roberts homepage, assuming the interested person would, by chance or telepathy, find it´s way to there... Most user-made homepages also seem to be massively outdated, at least in the cases where they even still exist, the (only and unofficial) forum seems to be nearly dead, etc.. (Which is nothing to blame the respective users for, since it´s their freetime effort putting this stuff up.) I guess it would not be to bold to say that Realsoft could use a MASSIVE improvement of it´s marketing and PR. My impression is that the only "things" that keep RS3D alive (barely) on the net are people like Robert and the rest of you out there with your userpages and other contributions. I think I recall Vesa once, years ago, writing he didn´t want Realsoft to be a fullblown CGI-company with respective marketing etc, and that would of course be his decision. I also admire the effort and ingenuity of developing, coding and maintaining a program that complex and sophisticated as RS3D with supposedly that few people. I´m still a bit disappointed (actually it´s more several kilobytes than just a bit ;-), having the feeling that RS3D is slowly vanishing into oblivion despite being a program that´s still able to beat so many other programs in so many respects. I think it was Gary who wrote something along those lines on the forum a while ago and even if his tone there might have been a bit harsh I found myself sharing most of his thoughts. Is there no plan to improve RS3Ds presentation on the internet? Updated info about upcoming versions, a central forum, a single wellorganized repository for usergenerated content - anything that keeps the community together, helps reeling in new users, improves RS3Ds value even further without any serious effort on the side of the official Realsoft team by just collecting and distributing the things that users have created and are eager to share for free? I believe to know that Realsoft does neither have the money nor the personnel of some of the other players on the 3D-apps market, but compared to, say, what´s going on with Modo, it´s really, well.... let´s leave it with "very sad"... Especially since it shouldn´t be to great an effort to at least promote RS3D in a better way by, for example, just screencapturing a video of how future features work and explaining them in a few words once in a while. Even one mediocre-quality 1-minute-video per month when a new version was about to be released would be a gazillion times better than nothing. Call me pessimistic, but I assume that 10 to 15 years from now programs like Blender will have mostly dried out the low- to midrange market for nonspecialized 3D-applications and I don´t see how RS3D should survive that if its marketing were to be continued the way it is today. Sorry if I should have inconvenienced or angered someone, I just had to let it out at last. Greetings Martin > Hi Dean, > > > > I'll check it out again.
