hey...be very sure to download the extras...I have the old legacy , but as user registered..

yet tho, will use the freeware, as sth some of u may not know...

someformats, binary ones or not, put your registered name there! yep, last name and all...I dont like that...
So I used to export ascii and edit the beguining...

freeware will put freeware...and that's fine.

i am not gonna login there just to say this, but as a registered owner who paid for the tool, I see it cool that he makes it freeware.

You purchase a license to use, not the author's life!

never understood that reaction....

besides, is waaaay more than more powerful houses did with me...Deep Paint3d was abandoned!

At least this man will continue developing the product, or providing some continuity, which is not the usual on commercial tools that stop to be .

( luckily (as I don't enjoy the zb which I also purchased for that) blender is there to pick up, am already 3d painting my models there... )

And bottom line...the tool as it was already at 1.36, is terrificlyuseful. And waaay a good solution for those not finding their way in the blender ui to just make game levels...

was gonna say just the same! tho have read some lines of you at some blender forum recently....

hey Vermeer, drop me a line to know how you're doing! Wink

I certainly will ! (and maybe a pata de jamón... ;D ) Just right now gotta take in charge of some "domestic duties" ...later....
