I realize you folks may not be the people to ask about this, but when can I order 3DSr3? I am a registered user of 3DSr2 as of April this year and I have not had any correspondence of any kind regarding an upgrade. Do I need to call Autodesk? Or is a mailing coming out that I haven't received yet?

Dealers should be receiving Release 3 right now. Have you contacted your dealer?

I don't have a dealer. I bought 3dsr2 and Animator Pro at NAB. I'm not even aware of who is a dealer in L.A. or more specifically, the San Fernando Valley.

Call 800/879/4233 and ask them who your nearest dealer is. There are a few dealers in the LA area who frequent the forum (Kevin Krell and Greg Pyros)… I'm sure either of them could help you out.

Jack: Is it true that upgrades are receiving low priority? My dealer said that shipments were being made but for new purchases right now. I hope this is just more salesman's talk and not the truth. Has anybody received his upgrade copy yet? Not dealers.

I doubt that's the case, Don, but I really don't know. We (Yost Group) have nothing to do with distribution. – J

As Jack said, that's probably not true. If you want to check on with people who _would_ know, have your dealer call their rep at Autodesk and ask. – G

Don, Just to let you know, I have not received any upgrades yet (even those submitted long ago) but did receive my official dealer copy (not the pre-release) with new box, documentation & all the little 3rd-party vendor ads. Just got that today, so things should show up soon. My take is that there really aren't so many new orders that Autodesk can't also get upgrades out. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates

Thanks for the reply on 3DSr3. I hope my dealer's comment isn't true.

Get yourself (and your first 3DSr2 disk) to a Adesk Multimedia dealer ASAP, Mike! They can get ya in the queue for the update…. -Alan Iglesias

Hello Alan, Unfortunately, I don't know who is a dealer around here. I've never heard of one nor has anybody identified themselves as one. BTW – Thanks again for the phone support with the Viper last month. It was worth every bit of the $10 phone call. mdawson
