Planetside is crooked.

Hi to all,

ive been working with almost everything to get reasonable results on terrain-creation and beleive me, theres nothing close
to this software, even as "pre" as it is. if you work with A-3dsmax  on heavy scenery (or whatever) your faced with so much bugs,
crashes and inconvinience but still have to pay a lot more... point: using the possible modules of the software for convincing
your audiance is worth the "little" amount of money...

... And who said you EVER had to pay for it? They have a FREE edition.  The paying was for those who wished to show their SUPPORT to the company and preorder at better rates.  If you don't have any faith in PS then you shouldn't pay for a product, use the free version until you see the final product. 

I'm afraid that's not entirely true... Technology Previews 3 & 4 were NOT released in the free version. That's still at TP2! So the free version is lagging behind in new features and developments...

TP3's main great features was multithreading and transparent water.  not much else happened, and the memory leak made it quite annoying to use at times.   TP4 isn't out yet, but it will be soon.  And the reason its not offered to the free crowd is for those of us who have payed and given our support to planetside deserve to see the development.  Its one of the perks of offering our support to the product.  They will give you another free version at gold, which is the only one that really matters in the end.  Personally, planetside is one of the best with free versions out there of any program that i've ever seen.

Shame really, frustration got the better of him, I think it's sad to see anyone give up the way he did.
