  1. Special Lightwave promo

    in CG & Hardware Discussion

    Posted

    Now I'm curious, what was the "Core scheme"?

    It was Newteks first (borked) attempt at unifying and redisgning a new lightwave.

     

    A lot of the stuff in CORE eventually made its way into the current version of lightwave (I have 10.1 and haven't looked at newer versions but it has gradually been improved).

     

    If you google newtek core you will find lots of material on the web.

    I hear you. I sold my seat of LW about the same time CORE was revealed. I actually liked what they had planned with CORE and thought they should have stuck with it. But if they have been able to rebuild the architecture of the Classic, then that's OK, too....I just hope they unify the app.

     

    The problem I have with their whole pricing scheme is, they have a crossgrade promotion that ends in a day or two and they aren't going to show any 2016 stuff until next week. That just doesn't make any sense to me. If you are going to try and lure people outside the LW community with such an offer, why not give people time to see what you have in the oven, first? I don't want to waste $700 on software I probably won't use much...just because it seems like a good deal. That's what I did with the LW seat I had. Ended up using Max almost all of the time, anyway...because there were so many things I missed in Max, that LW just didn't have.

     

    I no longer pay for software without seeing or prefereably testing it first, CORE taught me that.

     

    It is a shame as I like a lot of other users were fully on board for CORE but looking back it was too ambious a plan, they should have gone the route they eventually did go. The trouble I have is how things changed with regards customer feedback when Rob came on board, I get he doesn't want to reveal things until they are ready but he needs to show things to get people to bite. You fishing analogy is a good one. Faith in a product can only get you so far.

     

    I hope Lightwave sticks around, I always enjoyed using it.

    Hey AbnRanger,

     

    Rob has started a new thread with some examples http://forums.newtek.com/showthread.php?148246-Examples-of-the-New-LightWave-Volumetric-and-PBR-Engine

     

    I got burnt with core back in the day so I'm not going to jump on any schemes to lock me into future discounts, I will wait for 2016 to surface then consider getting back on board, I still have my 10.1 install (which I hardly ever use now).

     

    Andrew.

  4. V4 Stable version

    in New Releases, Bugs Reports & Development Discussion

    Just bought my upgrade - thanks Andrew!

    One question though - I have 2 serials for 3.x -- one Win & one Mac - when I bought this it just gave me a Win serial - does this also work for Mac? or is it a separate charge now per serial? I thought one license worked for both platforms if it wasn't used simultaneously? I forget, it has been so long since I bought 3.x Can you tell me what the deal is and how to get a v4 Mac serial - or if I need to purchase that too? thanks! :)

    When you go to the upgrade screen you need to put both serial numbers in (win and mac in your case) to get licenses for both platforms, it costs $10 more for both licenses over a single license.

    Congrats Andrew!

    I don't see paypal option.

    Nice upgrade and pricing Andrew.

    I noticed no paypal option, I prefer to use paypal when I can as I don't need to keep giving out my credit card details.

    Also thanks for the generous upgrade pricing when you have licenses on more than one platform, I moved to Linux a while back but also have a Windows license, the upgrade for one was $84, upgrade for both $94 :)

  6. Unity does it again! IOS and Android Exporters now free for V4

    Hi

    IOS and Android export is now free for Unity 4

    I cant find any info or link

    will you please add a link to the license upgrade ?

    ty

    I haven't had chance to install it yet but I believe you simply download version 4x and install it, you don't need to upgrade your existing license.

    I think they have simply replaced the basic versions with free versions, that is you no longer need to purchase the basic version.

    Andrew.

  9. Having to re-register all the time

    in SOS! If you need urgent help for 3DCoat

    Posted

    Hello, Andrew! 3D-Coat asks to re-enter serial number when modification time of “/bin” folder has been changed. 3D-Coat links serial number to the computer. The only unique identifier which 3D-Coat can request without requiring administration authentication is modification time of system directory “/bin”. When modification time of folder “/bin” changes then 3D-Coat requires to re-enter serial number (see attached screenshot). So please remember the modification time of “/bin” folder and note does it change?

    Hi Sergyi,

    Thanks for the explanation, I will make a note of the /bin directory time stamp for if it happens again.

    In the email I sent to support yesterday I also asked if there is the crash report option in the Linux version of 3D Coat, this would be useful for when crashes happen.

    Thanks,

    Andrew.

  11. Having to re-register all the time

    Hi,

    I am running 3DCoat 3.08B on Arch Linux x64.

    It has mostly been okay apart from the odd crash here and there, but today I will start 3DCoat and find I am running in demo mode (so I cannot export textures etc), I got prompted a couple of times during the day to register at which point it would work again for a while.

    Other times shutting 3DCoat down and relaunching it again after a short period would solve the problem but it is a real pain because I don't notice it immediately and so do some work and come to export the texture to find I can't.

    Any one else had a similar problem?

    Thanks,

    Andrew.

  13. 3D-Coat 3.5 updates thread

    Yes, but the question is do you want to spend your time searching for those you use frequently, or spend some time to find those you use less frequently (or even rarely) ?

    Maybe Andrew could implement some sort of user palette which the user can configure so it lists their most used tools? That way you can minimize the tools you use very little and access the main tools from your user palette.

    Thanks Greg, very much appreciated, by the way I really liked your tutorials/videos on Vimeo, the ghost turned out really well.

    Lol, I have downloaded the drivers already :)

    I imagine it will take a while to get used to as I have only ever used a mouse, when I tried my brothers bamboo I had trouble selecting the correct tool I wanted from the list, I would end up selecting either side of it but that is just down to me, lol.

    Do you have a nib preference 3D Sculptress?

    I guess I am trying to figure out when and under what circumstances you might use the other nibs?

    Thanks,

    Andrew.
