UPDATE!

Changed my mind. I'm kinda sorry I bought it. The documentation is pretty much useless or non-existant...and with RC2, for some reason, if you aren't connected to the internet, you can't access the documentation/help files. o_O

Crashes, I think, have to be part of the feature set. These are totally unexpected crashes too. You're clicking along, placing stuff, moving stuff around on your map, then BLAMMO! Crash. Why? No idea. It could happen when you are simply moving a house back to where you had it in the first place. Or maybe you rotate the camera to get a better view. Or maybe you are clicking a different tab. It will work perfectly fine for several of these 'opperations' (whatever they are), then, for some reason, it will just crash.

The importing/exporting and deleting of objects is mucho-screwdo. You have to do to many copy/paste/import to get a simple model into your project. You can "import a mesh"...but you have to 'pre-import' it first by copying the mesh into your project's folder (using normal Windows copy/paste/explorer methods; you can't do this from within RC). Along with it's texture...even if the .b3d format can store the texture in the object file...you still have to import the texture seperately using "import texture". Of course, you do that after you've already copied the texture to the *same* directory that you copied the mesh into (not imported using their "import mesh" tool; that's different). Confuseing? Yeah, it is.

Call me crasy, but I think when I read "Import Mesh" it should ask you for where the mesh is you want to import it, and where you want to store it in your project...and the program should do all the rest.

Lighting is also a bit odd. Seems too bright most of the time. But, I guess RC2, when it's finally 'finished' and not in beta, this will be taken care of.

All in all, RC has/had potential, but with very backward workflow, some nasty unstability, and virtually no documentation. Not worth the nigh-$200 I paid for everything...yet. Maybe when/if RC2 gets finalized and stuff, but right now, I'd have to tell folks to keep away from it.
