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?

[artimrj]

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?

[PapaXpress]

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!
