With this, it'll be my big break! Even though I have no experience in animation I'll give it a crack.

    Blender might be easier to use for amateurs since there seems to be more tutorials made for it

  Indeed. It's this sort of thing that makes people feel piracy is a good option.
kiriakoz on 25/06/2011 - 16:36 ¶

I assume this is no good for macs?
- scrimshaw on 25/06/2011 - 16:38 ¶
  
  It only runs on Windows, no OSX support. Assuming you have the proper DX11 GPU you can run this within Windows.

i feel sorry for anyone who had actually bought it at the RRP price and then came to ozbargain ;)
- tchi6 on 25/06/2011 - 17:24 ¶
  
  I doubt anyone pays full price for this sort of software unless they're a company or pro in which case they claim it back on tax anyway.
  
  Even when I was at uni the lecturer told us to get software by less than legal means

WOW, another program to try…
I might get my prologue animated yet. Thx a bunch

  If you're a professional (not just a prohobbyist) then if they discover you've pirated the software (idk how lol) that could expose you to alot of trouble - just like with photoshop for graphics designers or microsoft office for big-time offices. But the small guys (coughcough*) get away with it just fine :P

    Agreed. Piracy is becoming a viable and common thing nowadays in the consumer sector but businesses still need to be be very cautious and ensure that if they are using a software package regularly that they purchase the license or otherwise risk prosecution. When you're running a business the risk of liability is alot higher, same as the chances of getting caught. Ultimately, the cost of the software would translate to a tax deduction so it is not going to rip their heart out if they paid RRP.

  It's not a huge amount of money for the market its aimed at.
  
  That and people pirate $1 music tracks…In my opinion price is an excuse for piracy, not a reason

Do you guys even understand what this software is?
It is NOT for 3D modelling
It is NOT for 3D animation
It is NOT for 3D texturing
It is NOT for 3D rendering*
It is ONLY real-time 3D environment viewing, similar to what a 3D engine in a computer game does.
