#3d Studio Bugs
You and Greg Macnicol (the author of that article) are actually the only
people I know of who've ever had crash problems with 3DS. And _his_
problems were because of flakey hardware.
If you have sporadic crash problems, I can guarantee you that your system
environment isn't robust. (and I'm sure that plenty of other members of
this forum will corraborate that)
If you have a specific reproducible crash problem, please send a
description of how to reproduce it to me right away and I'll let you know
if it's for real.
The truth is, 3DS is the most robust 3D animation system ever developed on
any platform, and the only people we've seen who've had problems with it
have underlying hardware problems. We're extremely proud of how solid the
program is. For example, there are 6 people up at Autodesk who've been
using it full time since 2.0 came out and they've NEVER crashed it… but
they're using Gateway's, Compaq's, and AST's…
So, please be more specific, and maybe we can help you out a bit.
