HiYa Jonas, I have to agree with ADESK's decision to drop the patch modeler at the last minute. I have not seen R4, but from the decriptions I've read, I think that a lot of folks here were thinking that the patch modeler was more than it really was in the first place. That is, "spline modeling" is a very broad term of which a Bezier Patch modeler using 2 templates is just a very small part. So honestly, I don't feel that folks will be missing *that much* with the decision to leave it out…especially if they have YG Disk # 6. Obviously, there must have been some strong reasons to omit it, perhaps far in scope beyond *just* the current state of development of the plug-in. They could have just delayed or thrown it in, and dealt with the possible flack after-the-fact. I actually have to respect them, in this case, for pulling the plug now….Seems like most people would have paid $295 *just* for an IK plug-in *alone*, and thought it was a pretty good deal at that. I can understand some people being upset, though….strictly in principle. BILL
