  1. nope just a regular old tablet. I would prefer not to mess with my monitor settings. They are optimal for the programs I am in and the work that I do. Just waiting for the offset issue to be fixed so I can start playing around in it.
  2. Been a while since I have checked in. is there a fix for the wacom tablet offset problem?
  3. You wouldn't be the first person to accuse me of being cynical. And I 100% agree this is the most cynical viewpoint I can have. But as forums are small portions of vocal people, it doesn't mean that my, however inaccurate, concerns don't reflect the concerns of the silent users who daily check to see if we have an update. And I have no problem being corrected. Kept to yourself-or worse, exposed and left unaddressed is where cynicism festers. I hear all of you about timing, resources, and development. And I confess to a severely limited understanding of software development. Thank you all for bringing that fact to my attention, I confess to potentially being too hard on our guys. This is, as I said, all speculation since we haven't come to the end of the quarter. Things are hard, projects are tough and the world is on fire. I get it. But that's the case for everyone right now as our friend Artomiano pointed out. My sore spot is the investment I made in the promise of a product. And in a time like this, investments are legitimate sacrifices. I am not demanding a product, I am asking for a clear answer on a delay. To bring us back around to the initial post. So after the battle of optimism, cynicism and speculation I think we can agree, most people are okay with the timetable and process that Pilgway is undertaking to give us their next great product. The small minority like me are still eagerly awaiting an answer to the question, should we be preparing for another delay? Oh would you look at that, their was a typo in that first post...
  4. It does work 'fine' but it is borderline obsolete (I said borderline). With Zbrush and Substance and Blender it's falling behind. I bought in because I liked that they were believers and I thought the update would bring them into a more competitive position. About the release date, I think you develop a software until it gets to a nearly polished state and then you give people the tease and then a release date. You can even say, "hey guys, were developing this in the background but its going to be a while because its a massive update." I think jumping the gun, postponing, and using it as a marketing ploy burns a lot more people. Of course you have a small group of people who swear by it and they are happy with whatever. But then you have people like me who are on the fence, or people who ideally you convert from other software who look at it and go, "Oh yeah. I heard about 3D Coat, they're decent but didn't they make an announcement about a revamp a couple years ago and it never happened." Or like me, "I invested in it because I believed in what they are doing but it doesn't look like they are ever going to come through." So when its released appreciation and excitement are replaced by feelings that a debt has finally been payed, or worse, it can't possibly live up to what's expectation and hype it built. It's just not a good look for a company trying to make a mark imo. It would be better if they just said, "We jumped the gun, it's going to be a year." Because moving goal posts creates disillusionment and frustration. Break our hearts once and give yourself time, don't do it over and over and perpetually put yourself in a state of panic. My fear is they are trying to be too much. If they are trying to beat Zbrush, Substance, and a modeling program like Maya and Blender I think that's bad news for us. Those programs have niches and a much larger base for funding so they can hire more devs and develop those areas much quicker than 3D Coat can which will leave us waiting and the dev's never quite "done." This is all conjecture of course, they could totally meet their deadline.
  5. I get where you are coming from. I just prefer not to be strung along. I only made the purchase for 3D Coat anticipating them to keep their word and publish it in Q1. I am sure I am not the only one. If it will get delayed again then they are using a promise that they cannot keep to continue to pull in funds for a project that may be stuck in dev limbo for an indefinite amount of time. The fact that they already pushed the deadline back is not an encouraging precedent either.
  6. A couple of weeks will be the end of Q1. It sounds like we should just be anticipating another delay.
  7. Hi, Q1 is coming to a close pretty soon. Still no mention of a release date. Should we be be preparing for another delay?
