maybe against the 299 $ for V-Ray plug you can try the 35$ of 3Dlight plug ;)
and carreful
"The other good news is that bugs were plaguing vray for truespace have also been fixed. However, it should be mentioned that this isn't a full-blown vray, like what you may be used to in max for example. It has the features, but not the options. It still has the lush vray look."

About nurbs there are some plugs for add power to it

Michael your right I´m not Truespaces advocate so
there are a lot of things to be improved but loading a plug is one of the easiest
things in TS and you only have to do it one time .
I just wanted to pass the news on ... because people like freebees.
Blender is one of the only full blown packages that I know of that
are free and one needs a doctors degree to keep all the shortcuts in that.
Although Blender is a beauty !
I hope that now that TS is free we will see many people who will
help improve the workflow and ad to functionality including fast and easy
file formats.....
We all here do most of our modeling in moi 3d anyways !
so its for the subd and for renderings .....

When I say Dodo I'm thinking of what Microsoft did to Creature House's Expression - they bought that and it was never the same again for the close nit band of dedicated users. Especially Living-Cels which had potential as a great 2D animation platform.


Actually I think it's cool that Microsoft does stuff like this since they do have so much money in their pockets.

I certainly would have never purchased tS again but I will definitely take the time to install v7 and reacquaint myself with the changes since v4. It should be a nice addition to the 3D toolbox...

THIS re-affirms MoI in it's vision.

Microsoft bought a product I used to use and now you cant buy it unless you are corporate account holder with ongoing contract. Since they made this free, I'm sure they just bought some technology that they wanted to integrate into the next OS.

Go MoI go!

So sorry to tell you guys that the Truespace story is coming to an end !
Its the last chance to get it before it is no longer available !!!
Sad but true !
Been one of the most affordable software in the 89s and 90 s and many
of the people now onto other software have learned on it !
Bye Truespace !
For those of you who want to join the new community after the
main site folds......
