A couple weeks ago Axiom sent me some junk mail
about getting an upgrade from Pixel 3D 2 to the
current Pixel 3D Pro.
I believe the policy of Axiom is that they will
develop no new Amiga software, but they're
still more than happy to sell their existing
products.
Amiga product tech support at ASDG last month
assured me that there would be updates to
ADPro and MorphPlus shortly. (I know "shortly"
is a very relative statement.)
ASDG/Elastic Reality has reduced the development
effort of their Amiga programs, but there still
will be updates and Amiga Tech Support (while it
is now available only 3 hours in mid-day) still
exists. (There was a post on a newsgroup a couple
weeks ago where ASDG was trying to unload a lot
of their Amiga hardware -- at fairly unreasonable
prices.)
ASDG/ER Amiga Tech Support (while it *does* exist)
is now extremely pathetic. I called and talked to
someone namesd Curtis about a problem I had with
MorphPlus. I had previously mailed a set of files
to them. Curtis said he'd look into it and email
me right back whether or not they got the files.
Over the past couple weeks I've tried to call
Curtis, but he's never "available" and I've sent
email, but I never get any sort of response. If
I was making a living with their software I'd be
really pissed off.
So, I'm beginning to consider getting ImageFX.
In any case, neither company is out of business or
has *completely* abandoned the Amiga market, so
considering their products as PD stuff is still
theft.
