Well if every tree could be unique like vue solid growt tech, and
if the trees were instances we could have several thousands or millions
of trees..then it might match up with vues ecosystems..oohh, it need wind
forces too.

but sumatra still looks cool and could work for a lot of scenes anyway:thumbsup:

I sure would like to see something like L-systems with unique variations and with instances instead thou in lightwave core, something in the line of houdini´s L-systems.

I've used the LITE-version of Sumatra ALOT for some closeup-shots at work. It's really neat!

The updates with this version would have been very, very beneficial for the shots I worked on, but hey... isn't that always the case?

:)

Great work, Svenart... sometime in the future I'll have to get the full version, for sure... I just have another plugin that I really want to buy before that!

Wow, ordering it sure is difficult. The ShareIt order form kept insisting that I was using a free mail account and it would not accept my order. I had to try four different emails (two were not free mails) before it let me buy the plug-in. Then, when the download link finally came up, I was informed that the file doesn't exist. (But do I have 8 hours left to download it.)

What th'?

I'm sure this matter will eventually be resolved, but this is pretty annoying.

P.S., oh, the plug-in does look cool by the way. :)

Aargh! There was a link for ShareIt's customer service, and the link took me through a maze-like multiple choice complaints questionaire. I tried to make the best choices based on what was available, but there really was no way to explain clearly what I was complaining about. I can only wonder what kind of response I'll get.

I am not having a good month with web-based sales.

Hello everyone,

thank you all for the great feedack :)

@ Greenlaw. Please excuse this problems. I will sent you the plugins now via email, ok?

[Greenlaw]

Thanks Svenart!

Sorry for the venting. I want to be clear that I was not complaining about LWToolbox or Sumatra Tools, just ShareIt's online purchase system.

I really am looking forward to using Sumatra Tools. :)

[Svenart]

no problem :) I have updated the download link a few moments ago. The link should work again in a few minutes.

[Greenlaw]

Got it!

Thanks SvenArt for addressing this matter so quickly. Please keep up the great work!
