<<1) 4.0 does seem thin, particularly compared…>> I agree, see my previous messages. <<2) Lack of patch model, spline base editing is painful…>> That's what caused me to cancel my upgrade. <<3) As vast as tool choices will become with 3rd party dev…>> Yes <<4) I am very concerned about 3rd party developers to provide free or very reasonable upgrade path…>> Me too. We have over 24 major software packages for the Mac and PC. Just keeping track of the lastest versions, maintenance releases, etc. could become a full-time job if I let it (of course, I won't have a job if I did). I can't see having to track a half-dozen third-party plugins for each of them as well. <<5) there was too much talk of the Yost Group being…>> I don't know anything about that. <<6) Serious Ani-Pro users really got befuddled…>> Don't know anything about Ani-Pro, either. <<7) For 5 years I have had an incredibly strong faith in 3-DS…>> Me too. <<8) I can handle laying out $5000…>> Not me. I would be willing to pay up to $1000 for a full-featured upgrade. <<hell, i have typed enough… >> Not bad for stream of consciousness.
