>>>>There are other GPU rendering engines that don't even support MOI nor are attempting to. They didn't and don't have a demo. You could not get a full version 1 license prior to full release. Would you prefer we were like that?>>>>>
Sorry, dont know of any program that I cannot render my MoI models with. MoI is superb at getting my models to any Program!
>>>>I'm sorry, BurrMan, that you feel that people who are paying 1/2 price for a full version 1.0 license before it's released is somehow "evil" or "wrong". I'm also sorry if you think that Octane is super buggy.>>>>>>>>>>>>
Never said Octane is "Super Buggy". Certainly never called "evil". I probably made a mistake to get into this in the "octane thread". I kindof did a sidestep and a dis-service to you and your company.
For me, the prevalence of people "releasing" software for "MY GOOD MONEY" for the purpose of funding their venture is a two fold slap in the face. I was also corrected by Marc that their is a "free version" for people like me to evaluate to decide wether I want to jump on board. I was not aware of this and I acknowledged my mistake here.
For you, you justify this approach. Though, I believe it to be "wrong" and your system will always be either "behind" or being used to support yourself in development and removing bugs and such. I'm sorry you dont see this. It just means for me, It will be another app I wont use.
(1)Your response is a justification from "YOUR POINT OF VIEW". (2) I wonder if Octane will ever implement a plan for me to use their software for free, until I make money with it, then I will pay them!
1 is common place. The second will never happen. Though, The approach I was harping on (Michaels,) should be the NORM!
Sorry I sortof highjacked your thread, though it was a branch that stemmed from the original topic. But, The gist of my posts are more of a generalized practices comment than a bash on Octane.
The appearance of an Octane bash is my bad. I should start a "Burr's personal beef" thread. Sorry Phil.
