Thanks for your guess. It sounds about right. Unlike some, I'm not mad at anyone here about the lack of the the modeler, just vastly disappointed. It was my one wish item about all else (well, that and the dynamics) as I'm just terrible at using the Shaper and Lofter, and hoped this would offer SOME relief (I had no trouble using Playmation's Spline modeler, as pitiful as the rest of the program was). My own feeling is that I would have, personally, put up with system crashing for the benefits of getting some modeling done, but I do understand that may have not been what ADesk was willing to accept. It's too bad it couldn't have at least been offered on a "buyer beware" sort of basis. Right now my biggest concern is that this mess will cause ADesk NOT to "work towards an integrated patch solution", and hope that some 3rd party will handle it. Or, having decided to work towards such a solution, that such a solution won't be available for 18 months (the "normal" time between releases). Oh well… At least I have what I have. I guess I'll just have to continue to rely upon the modeling skills of others and concentrate on the areas I can do best in 3DS (whatever the heck those are!).
