I've actually been expecting this exact move since Microsoft bought Caligari. In case anybody is wondering what this move means, it means this is very likely the final version of trueSpace. Microsoft is probably releasing it to get people hooked and then planning to have the (former) Caligari people make something newer and better under the Microsoft name.

Dude, it's a nice thought but if I start downloading it now using the resumable downloads add-on in Firefox and log back on every time my dialup ISP dumps me off during the download, I might have it downloaded by Tuesday. (In case anybody is wondering, it's a 130 MB download) That's taking into account times when I'm gone or sleeping and can't log back on when I get dumped off and if I need to use my phone at all during the download.

Of course, even if I do all that, I can't use the damn thing until I get my new PC and I still have a bit of saving to do before that happens. (but I might still download it ahead of time, since it will take a long time to download)

Darn .. I remember that .. dial up crap ... and it hogs the phone ...

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

Yeah, but do a lot of downloading over night, so I don't have to worry about that. The largest file I've ever downloaded, though, was almost 50 MB. This should be interesting. ;)

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

I remember one time Warrior sent me a 20 gig file over dialup took us days. That was a long time ago, in a place far far... no no that's right it was here in this house, but it was a long time ago. :D

This is an awesome find thanks for providing the link!

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

Good lord, 20 gigs over dialup?! That's pretty outrageous. This trueSpace file is by far the biggest I've ever downloaded. Thank goodness for the download manager for Firefox, I can pause and resume my download whenever I want (need) to. :)

The icons rather than text turns me off to TrueSpace, and Max too.

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

I agree somewhat with shrox. Icons instead of text make the program harder to learn, but once you get to know the program it shouldn't be too hard.

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

I have had a look see at it ,, and I agree .. but I never been able to use it well ..
but free is a great price for some one starting out in 3d

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

I'm the opposite way. I learned 3D in trueSpace 2, so I get lost in programs like Blender and Wings (I've tried modeling in both) where they have all those text menus instead of trueSpace's buttons. I love the buttons. :D

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

well your TS work is stunning mate .. details and all

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

"it means this is very likely the final version of trueSpace."

erm no. . they are working on 8.... they've already said they are re-writing the Booleans for 8.... it's all on the Caligari forums ya know?

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

its been a few years since I even looked at TS fourms .. since making the switch to Lightwave .. but still its a great way to get into cgi

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

OK, I stand corrected. But a lot of times when a large corporation like Microsoft acquires a smaller one like Caligari, that can mean the end of the smaller corporation (because they're absorbed into the larger one) and their product. It's cool that they're working on trueSpace 8, though. I don't go to the Caligari forums at all, so I didn't know that.

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

well... trueSpace is now M$'s answer to Sketchup you see...

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

Ah, gotcha. I guess we can look forward to Microsoft trueSpace from now on. ;)

It's OK by me, because one day even that relatively new trueSpace 7.6 is going to be antiquated and I'd like to stick to the program in which I learned 3D modeling.

Re: trueSpace7.6 at no charge (Free)
 

Usually a free release heralds a 'paid-for' upgrade to get the latest and greatest features.

Still, it's an incredible deal on a package that started for over $3000 on the Amiga platform! :)

I got my copy a few days ago. Pretty sweet.

Ken :)
