Advanced Member geo_n Posted February 14, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 but as a blender user, should i buy it? someone tell me What do you use blender for? commercial or hobby? 40US is not much really for an app such as this. Its a ps3 game. Or how many cups of coffee at starbucks you could skip drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Giuseppe Posted February 14, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I am a blender user, but I buy program messiah because is a good software for animations and has tools that simplify your work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Pimpmymonkey Posted February 14, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 What do you use blender for? commercial or hobby? 40US is not much really for an app such as this. Its a ps3 game. Or how many cups of coffee at starbucks you could skip drinking. While I agree most wholeheartedly on the price, it's really more about the time invested in one software as opposed to the time necessary to learning a new one, don't you think? If kay-Eva has little time invested in animation in Blender, as I don't, it may be a good investment. If she has spent many hours learning to animate in Blender then may be not so much. Don't you think? P. Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Pimpmymonkey Posted February 14, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 but as a blender user, should i buy it? someone tell me I have been waiting patiently for BA to come back online to ask the same question. Hopefully they will be up and running shortly. I haven't tried pmG"s forum, there may be help there. Albeit slightly prejudiced, I'm guessing. In the end I decided to buy because an applink already exists and the renders in the gallery look pretty good. Oh, and I had $40.00 in my pocket that was desperately trying to escape. P.

So I guess that you find messiah superior to Blender for animation. Cool! I didn't screw up. P. Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see why this is seen as a dishonest thing though, they're letting stragglers get in on a sweet deal. If anything stretching the offer extends the time they cant charge full price.

I'm not aware of Blender having Interactive Rendering. Does it? I wouldnt be supprised if they are eeking out the last little bit. I dont see why this is seen as a dishonest thing though, they're letting stragglers get in on a sweet deal. If anything stretching the offer extends the time they cant charge full price. Roger, as a fellow Max user, what do you plan to use it for? If CAT wasn't so buggy, I don't think I would feel compelled to jump on this, even though it's a steal.

Advanced Member Laticis Posted February 15, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Good news for those that purchased and a big big thank you to pmG. ( Also posted on DAZ forums ) Just a note: **Due to the overwhelming response, we are in the process of updating the license system to better automate the management of everyone generating their licenses. We have a 3 day delay in finalizing the transactions, and downloading them into the system. We hope to have license generation up by Saturday or perhaps sooner. You will be getting an email to the email address you provided paypal when you purchased, that will contain the url and login info to generate your license for your purchase or purchases(if you did them in more than one transaction).

Advanced Member geo_n Posted February 15, 2011 Advanced Member Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 So it was finished in less than 8 hours of my post. They are extending it. People on the fence should really buy now. I think its a once in a lifetime chance to own a commercial animation software for 40US.

If CAT wasn't so buggy, I don't think I would feel compelled to jump on this, even though it's a steal. I'm scratching an itch really. Messiahs always interested me. I think the autorig could be a nice fast way to get characters posed without having to deal with weight painting. also the interactive renderer peaked my fancy. For the price of a round of drinks i think its worth the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Greg Posted February 16, 2011 Contributor Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I've been watching some of the videos that are linked to here: http://www.zoogono.com/ and I'm really excited to try out Messiah. Thanks to pmG for this fantastic opportunity. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted February 16, 2011 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm both excited and torn, now that PMG has made Messiah so accessible. That's because I love CAT (in 3ds Max) and had decent luck with it in the past, but I've heard many others voice their complaints about showstopping bugs. I don't know if I want to get chin deep into a setup and animation, only to find issues I don't have time to deal with. So, Messiah now becomes a very tempting option. What does Messiah use to simulate Muscles? I'm aware of Meta Effectors and a number of other tweaking tools, but there are similar tools in Max as well, and they aren't as effective as a dedicated muscle system. The other problem I have to consider is that currently there is no support for 3DConnexion devices with Messiah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
