Blizzard,
If you have a bug to report in LenZFX, please do so and we will resolve the
issue. I'm sure that this will benefit you more in the long run than 'Just
complainin'. We don't claim that LenZFX is the perfect program (what is?) but
we do claim to address the needs of our users. Some things that people call
'bugs' in LenZFX are not bugs at all. Some limitations in LenZFX are brought
about by IPAS limitations, some by limitations in 3D Studio and some by more
complicated issues. For some of these limitations, we have work arounds or
answers, so if you have a question, your best course of action is to come to
the source.
Finally LenZFX 2 is NOT a bug fix. It's true that we have overcome some of the
limitations imposed by the first LenZFX but a lot of that can be contributed to
the efforts of our programmer David Thompson. Also we have fixed some bugs BUT
the list of new features far exceed any bugs that were fixed. (I'm sure that 3D
Studio Release 3 fixed some bugs in Release 2 – but it wasn't a bug fix
release.)
As far as LenZFX 2 goes, LenZFX is already the best special effects software
you can buy, on any 3D platform, and LenZFX 2 turns the heat up a couple of
notches. No one on Lightwave, Real 3D, Topaz, trueSpace, Sculpt, Animation
Master, Soft Effects, Electric Image………. can do what you can do with
LenZFX and when they see what you'll be able to do with LenZFX 2, they'll be
totally depressed. So relax. If you have constructive comments let us know. If
you want to complain, hold that feeling for just 1 week more, take a look at
LenZFX 2 – then if you still feel the need to complain, call me personally and
I'll be all ears.
By the way, if you upgrade LenZFX 2 with Inferno, you'll be paying the same
price as anyone else. You won't be paying more because you bought LenZFX last
week or last year or 2 months from now.
Finally, before I get off my high horse, let me direct a thought to those
people who complained about LenZFX 2 not shipping on September 15th. Since the
15th, we have added 3 or 4 great new features to LenZFX 2 that will make it
even more powerful and customizable. I know how it is to want software NOW, but
the version you'll get at the end of September is better than what you would
have gotten on September 15th. Take some comfort in that.
