Your attitude only proved them right in whatever predjudice they might have against AM and its userbase. And you did it by being judgemental and prejudiced yourselves. So, in my three posts we have one pointing out the obvious for you, one answering someones question about AMs export capabilities.....and, oh yeah, one pointing out what I personally think is the best artwork done in AM.... and this makes me an anti-AM troll? If AMs future is dependant on the likes of you...well, I think I just heard Ralph passing by......

Well, this is the thread Robcat is basing his judgement on.....it´s only 3 pages so I guess you can judge for yourselves......
-
If their goal isn´t reached they´ll refund your money, this is something they have stated from day one so why should there be a firestorm?
And Robcat: I have made two posts in one thread over at CGtalk (do a search on my name) that you could perceive as negative against AM, though one was directed at your attitude, the other one was answering a question in regards to AMs export capabilities (in a quite objective manner if you ask me). And this makes me a hater in your book? Makes me wonder how you have the time to do 3D because your world must be filled with them. But it does however explain why you prefer to stay in your little corner of the world...........

I find this campaign to be a stroke of genius. Now, this is purely guesswork, but I doubt that PMG sold many new licenses during a year, mostly upgrades. They released v5 just last december (w/ a new realtime preview renderer amongst other features) and this went by fairly unoticed.
Now, if they sold 10 licences for 599$ or 599 licenses for 10$ they still would end up with the same amount of money. But now you have people buying 1-4 licenses and this is people that would never have bought in before. Basically, money PMG never would have seen if not for this offer. People that never have been tempted enough, never have tried it, never have heard of this app before. And how many licences? 10-20000? If only a small percentage end up buying an upgrade when that time comes they´ll be far better off financially than before. Add to that all the publicity. All in one big swoop.
And maybe they have a really great product on their hands only suffering from.... lack of exposure...publicity... small community...who knows? As I haven´t tried it yet I don´t know. But if that bar reaches 100% it is time to find out

I recall the last time someone mentioned this problem, it was related to some sort of CD copying/caching/virtualizing software they had running.
They didn't know they had it but they did. They swore up and down they didnt' have such a thing but it turned out they did. It may have been related to some game they installed.
Probably something like Daemon Tools you are thinking about?

No problem, Sacman. We all have days like that
And Heyvern......I miss a Mac

Sorry for the annoyingly vague answer, but if one look closer at what was actually written one might probably forgive me for the mistake of misreading his post. Not all here speak native english...... or is as intelligent as others.
As far as the subject of Illustrator goes, you might consider having a look at http://www.inkscape.org/, I do believe it has AI export and is free so it should leave you with some cash to toss around

That rust material is just something I threw on, it´s one of the Darktree shaders, you`ll find it under Shaders-Metal: http://www.darksim.com/html/downloads.html. Believe it was Rusty Steel.
The Illustrator plugin is the AI wizard (Adobe Illustrator), right-click in a model window-plugins/wizard/AI. Locate your Illustrator file, these were just imported with the default settings. And like Heyvern said, some clean up may be necessary.....

Well, wouldn´t be much of a problem making it with more rounded corners in Illustrator so it would still be the way I would go about it.
Edit: A picture says more than yadiyadiyada........got some artifacts here due to triangular patches.....still a very good starting point
-
The result after 5 minutes work, imported through the Illustrator wizard. The splines doesn´t look to good but renders without any artifacts so if you want clean them up it`s your choice. At least a better starting point than doing it all from scratch.

Hi, everyone. Not shure if I should call this an introduction or a reintroduction, probably the first since I haven`t been posting much , despite visiting this place a lot. Enjoy lurking in the shadows to much, I guess.
Purchased AM several years ago, and upgraded a couple of times, but haven`t gotten past the occational dabbling attempts. Reading through this thread made me realize I wasn`t alone so I decided to give it another go, maybe this time I`ll actually get something done.

And another one. (From Norway and Oslo, that is.)
