this crazy sh** (sorry for wording, i needed a superlative) can only happen in 3d software industry. If you are not selling your overpriced product, don’t give it for free. If you have a genius plan, don’t give it for free either. Otherwise everybody will think for a new software on market you just need to wait for 1 year it and then get it for free. It makes a bad impression on customers, not to talk about those customers who paid $ 3.999,- few days ago for a freeware.

Tell me about it, I’m still really angry at this, especially because in september they convinced me to buy a SECOND license at a discount (when it was still RC) , but still was not cheap, only to find out recently they will give for free, AND with no update to the max2012 plugin, unless someone pays for its development :(.

That said, this software is really good, i dont use a renderfarm to render my animated characters anymore, and even some CG Sets.
