A couple of years ago, I downloaded a freebie called 3DPlus 2.0 by Serif. This was my introduction to 3D Text, but as I still consider myself a newbie on a computer, it was hard to figure out at that time. It had some built in glitches, so you couldn't do anything too impressive for free. I did manage to create some pretty cool looking stuff with it anyway, but it was limited.
SInce then, they've been sending me about 2 or 3 emails a week of their products, so a couple of months ago, I replied to one and sort of implied that I couldn't really use any of their products except maybe 3DPlus 3.0, if still available, and that it would have to be cheap because I'd hardly use it.
Maybe a coincidence or maybe my reply worked, I don't know, but they sent me an e-mail offering me "Impact Plus" with a resource CD for $5.95 plus shipping. 2 CDs for $9.90 all the way from England.
I've just barely installed everything and it looks like it'll be sort of easy for me to figure out, since it looks very much like 3DPlus, but it is jam-packed with stuff compared to the freebie I tried.
It will take me a while to navigate through the program, so I was hoping to get some early opinions of this software, as it may be a few days before I get a real feel for it.
This is not the most current version, but about 2-3 yrs old, version 4.01
TIA
PS: I don't think I could go wrong for the price and I'm sure it's not as good as some current programs, but I would like some experienced opinions, if possible.
Thanks again..........
