Its hard to believe.

pardon my ignorance, but is that good or bad??

so its either or

It could be good. If he adds shadow baking it could be great.

Ouch! I think I banged my head as I fell off my chair.

Crafter 10!!!!!!!

Who says 3DCrafter is dead?

Cause no one ever answers any support questions would be my guess.

Yeah, that's definitely an area for improvement.

How do the upgrades normally work for 3dcrafter?
Will I have to pay again?
I already have 3dcrafter 9 pro.

I upgraded from version 8 to version 9 at no cost, but as version 10 sounds like it's a huge rewrite, I don't know if they'll charge again. I hope not, but if they do, I'll probably gamble another $70 in the hope of seeing major improvements. Actually, I'd be happy if it stops it from crashing every 10 minutes.

If you read the site he states it will be a free upgrade for v9 users.

Excellent!

I thought you were using 3ds?

OK. I guess the best way to get your question answered is to log on to the site and ask.

Here is some promising news.

Texture baking in 3DCrafter - very good news indeed!

I could try it on the FEF-3 as an experiment. For the production model, I've already done a lot of shadows manually, so I'll stick with those, but it would be interesting to compare it with what the tool can do automatically.

Get it while its hot!
