I wonder about your perspective. I understand your position through your perspective, but I certainly don't share the same view. I feel that Autodesk/YG has acted in good faith. I give them alot of credit for what has been done right. You yourself have acknowledged what a phenomenal job they did with R2 and R3. I think there is some residual effect from that. And while you've slammed R4 for its lack of features, (which BTW is inaccurate as you now have IK and KF scripting among other things) at the same time you tought TSE. Well TSE could not have been achieved without substructure modifications in R4. So while on the surface you feel there have been no new features, the fact is that alot of effort went into opening up the architecture to make it possible. You gave KUB the credit, but YG made it possible. In fact I suspect it was a major collaborative effort, but from your pronouncements it was KUB that saved 3DS. One has to look at the philosophy of open architecture to really appreciate what was done for R4. That is my perspective. The unobvious thing is, that while you've been punching hard on R4, I suspect that you're well meaning. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you'd be willing to do the same with regard to your perception of what has transpired. At least reserve judgement for the time being and consider some of the factors I've mentioned and possibly glean some deeper appreciation for what is there already. In doing so, it'll be easier to trust that you mean well and only want the best for YG and 3DS. Otherwise you motives seem suspect. John
