Not only was it very expensive, but it was pretty recently that they were
charging for it, knowing full well that it would be integrated in version 4.
So, yes, we are extremely pissed about this....
It is an excellent tool and in our opinion gives us a competitive edge. One
that we paid for, but as it happened for the development and R&D for
everyone else to now have free.

I really wanted our place to get this, but what Soft was charging was pretty
extortionate
IMO......... I'm seriously glad we got by with Smedge (Actually when I say
got by, it's been pretty
good on the whole, once you get used to some of it's peculiarities....).
O.K. I know comparing the
two is a bit like comparing a Lada to a Porsche but the Lada still gets you
where you want to go.
Now it's bundled I'm pleased as punch, but i would definately be pissed if
I'd forked out all that
cash.... I can empathise with Phillip on this one for sure. Syflex, fair
enough, it possibly takes
a great deal more R&D to develop and it's wasn't developed by Softimage
anyway. But a render
manager.....
My 2 cents.
