hi guys. Figured this is the only place where others would understand my frustration!
Anyone here do 3D modeling? if you checkout www.maxwellrender.com ull see some nice photos. yea, those are all 3D. And their release client just came out. Said for mac, lin, win. Guess what. Win only. Thus far they only take care of the windows version, havent touched the mac beta in 6 months
so then we go over to www.guitar-pro.com. Was told newest version in September of this year. Ok, then told, win version November, mac version BEFORE new years. Now im being told mac version SOMETIME may 2006.
Oh, and Discreet/Autodesk, wheres Combustion 4? Its been out for windows going on a year now. Still optimizing for G5? We were told shipping began in May 2005. Im not seeing it. Combustion 3 is so unstable and SLOW on osx.
FontLab. 5.0 for win has been out awhile, mac we still use 4.6, and a few features flatout say in the manual "inactive"
I dont know about you guys, im sure you have other examples. I use guitar pro to write songs, and learn songs when time is a factor. because of their neglect to mac users, i had to pull a small dell out of storage to waste more deskspace, just to play with those songs. Luckily my monitor has 2 inputs. If they didnt have such a large repository of already made songs, id move on to another program like SIbelius or harmony assistant
And i told a few clients amazing renders would be coming soon, like that of maxwell. Now theyre PO'd like no other. I know a few other fellow CG artists are threatening to bring a lawsuit against next limit for false advertisement.
Am i alone here? why is it we get screwed like this? we have a nicer OS, better hardware, more stability....sure the population runs windows, but why bother promising both releases, then screwing us over when we've been expecting/NEEDING certain software.
