Hi, Dont pay for tools developed by only one guy. Because you never know how long you get supply for this.
I bought "IceX" and the "Xeraphine X2" plugin(if someone remember). On their release both tools were great and showed capabilities I never could get with my 3DGS com. But both were quick shots from community-guys. No support after updating to A7.
I've learned my lesson now. I have changed the Engine to one I could write what I need in Visual Studio and C#(I'm a .Net developer in dayjob) with a fast 3D Render, two diffrent physic engines and two sound API's.
And the best is I can use a "non-commercial" license with ALL features and payed NOTHING.
If I ever finish a commercial product so I simply buy a indie developer version for 100,- bucks to release it.
