Did you edit out most of your rant or am i on the wrong thread?!

[DrJan]

Or maybe he's been hired by Autodesk to report any ranting from us and he opened this topic so we can complain?

Although I seriously doubt that, because I received this from an insider at Autodesk:
How it should be:


How it is:

hilarious....you gotta love adesk!

[Jonferimonic]

Unless im mistaken (highly likely) it looks like they've changed the scatter function. Now I have to relearn how to use it again. Not that im pushed for time but if its not broken DONT F*CKEN FIX IT.

[Clifton Santiago]

Yes. I wish, before they "improve" a feature, they should ask themselves, "what would a veteran 3dsmax user think about this?" That would solve a lot of their problems....

Don't even get me started on Autodesk - they have repeatedly screwed us with their ridiculous upgrade / subscription policy which resulted in lost revenue and affected our work by being forced to upgrade to a version we do not want, nor need. I personally wrote them a letter but I'm pretty sure it ended up in the above second cartoon scenario.

We're actually now considering alternate options to Autodesk for our future work pipeline since we've had nothign except horrible experiences with them for the last few years now.

Talk about a company that once cared about their customers and now cares about nothing except making an extra buck at their customer's expense.

It's funny how many thousands of users / studios have posted about their unhappy experiences with their last several software releases (BUG FIXES) and they can't take the time to read what their customers are saying, let alone do something about it.

Maybe when Google buys them out things will get better.

[mcvltd]

..or maybe they'll buy google.....

[jujubee]

Exactly what we are/have been looking into. Jokers.

[Clifton Santiago]

Just curious about what other options people are considering? XSI? Are there any other robust non-Adesk multi-purpose modeling packages?

[schroeder]

We've experienced the exact same things as well. It prompted us to leave the subscription program 2 years ago.

Has anyone looked at, with seriousness, Blender?

[vlado]

Not much of a consolation perhaps, but I can tell you that Autodesk really looks at the CER reports and they have occasionally contacted us about that when the cause is in V-Ray.

Best regards,
Vlado
