In some places you are supposed to provide a little proof to substantiate what you say... How about clueing the rest of us in? I would hope that if anyone made claims against me they would at least do that. Or have these forums degenerated to the point where we just say things about someone or a company and that is it?

I'm not sure where you read in my message that I am attacking you... What I am doing in questioning why you do not do yourself a favor and represent your case better. In many forums I attend you would have received at least a couple replys stating the same thing.

You obviously have a beef with the maker of this plugin, it is not up to me to decide whether it is valid or not, I have no stake it the plugin, it effects me in no way. I do not think it is the best thing around, nor do I believe it is worthless.

A beef with the company...yes I guess I do, I don't like spending $199 plus shipping and handling and receive nothing in return. Call it what you will but I have a problem with that.....I call it bad buisness.


Caligari helped me out back when I had the issue and tried to get it resolved, thanks again for that Caligari.


Now on to more constructive crits on the app.

1.) The anatomy is way off, even though you are modeling fantasy creatures you still need to base your anatomy off of real world creatures/animals, or the human eye can tell this right away, and it just looks cheap.


2.) Anyone with a good book could learn to model 10 times better then anything they will get with this plugin.


3.) The geometry is so low resolution that you could model any of the contained body parts in a matter of minutes.


4.) There is one major plus to this plugin...you can create your own body parts and use the plugin to assemble them....now the down side...the way the body parts have to be made is very restrictive. (Unless this has been updated)


In all fairness Truespace can assemble parts when you build them with little effort and no hassle, so I see no need for this plugin.


Now I do know some people that liked this plugin and to those people I say great, but if you really want to learn to model this stuff get a good tutorial book and spend some time learning. On the other hand if you want premade point and click very generic and poor anatomy looking creatures then by all means get this plugin.


I am sorry if this or the last post I made offended anyone, I just felt others should know what kind of place this fxrealm is. Don't believe me then do a search through the archives and see what turns up. This will be my last post.
