I am sure they are thats whats really disgusting is the mark up is so high on this stuff.

😀 😀 😛

In that case the people paying the full price of $7000 are really getting soaked.

Indeed and I am told the 7000 dollar program crashes a lot as well. LOL People still use the program because it has an aura of prestige largely due ot its expense. 😛 Truely a case of The Emperor Clothes. 😉 😛

I see. I'll bet you're glad that you didn't buy it. 😀 😛

Yea I could not swing that. LOL 😛 I might get Lightwave for about 700 dollars.. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

What does Lightwave do? 😀 😛

 

[kurchatovium]

What does Lightwave do? 😀 😛

It is a basic 3d studio. It takes 3d object files; stages them, applies textures to them and lights them and then renders the scene. It also does particle effects for things like smoke and fire. It has facilities for 3d object creation as well though often people get seperate programs for that. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

That sounds like a very powerful program. 😀 😛

It is and its 6300 dollars less then Maya the 7000 dollar program that crashes. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Not hard to figure out the better value, then. 😀 😛

Do you use a lot of programs? Mathematica is a great program but a bit too pricey for me also. 😀 😀 😛

 

[milagros317]

Not too many additional (to the usual ones included with an operating system). Just TeX, Mathematica, and MATLAB. 😀 😛

*kurch prays besides one of the walls of made of compressed souls*

The Seraphim Queen: What are you doing kurch?

kurch: Praying for the souls entrapped here.

The Seraphim Queen: Awwwwwwww thats very nice.

kurch: Well I am a Priest Of Ages. 😛

*The Seraphim Queen smiles*

The Seraphim Queen: I am sure it helping them until we can release them.

kurch: I think so too. I have learned a few things as well.

The Seraphim Queen: Really. What have you learned.

kurch: All the souls in these walls are from failed research experiments. Apparently torturing them in the living world was not enough so the are suffering in the afterlife as well.

The Seraphim Queen: Oh my. Such horrific evil here.

kurch: Yes, I am sensing some powerfully evil forces nearby. I think they are some Abyssal Guards here.

The Seraphim Queen: It amazes me how good you are at picking these things up. You have a unique gift.

kurch: Thank you. If needed I think I maybe be able to use these walls against the Abyssal Guard. Not sure if it will work but we may have to try.

The Seraphim Queen: The Abyssal Guard are very tough.

kurch: HDS and I fought one long time ago. We won but it was not easy.

The Seraphim Queen: I am sure you are much more adept and skilled then you were then. 🙂

kurch: Thank you. I would like to think so,

😀 😛

Faith is a preist's sword. Compassion is a priest's shield. Hope is a priest's arrow. Never forget this against whatever evil you face. Book Of Kurchatovium 5:2 The Book Of Thread
