That might indeed be the case, but he still donated quite a bit to various amiga projects.

Even though nothing has come out of those projects it was at least done with good intentions.

@DiscreetFX

could we please, after nearly two months, finally get some word on the status of aladdin 4D v6.0 development for any of the amiga platforms? could we please have a screenshot? and if not, could you please explain what on earth is going on?

please remember, we're asking because we want to purchase a product. if it doesn't exist, no problem, just tell us. and if it does, could we see what it looks like? pretty please? you've said thousands of hours have already been spent by your developer(s). surely there is something you can share at this point. anything. seriously.

well i just heard a rumour that Alladin v6 for AmigaOS4.1 will be ready by Christmas THIS YEAR!

seeing that we haven't even seen one screen shot to date I am very suspicious but hopefully DiscreetFX can confirm this here. If no news then I've given up hope and will ask for a refund on my purchase from over 2 years ago !

Porting Alladin from Amiga to OSX/Unix and than back to Amiga (AOS4, MorphOS, AROS) was a stupid idea IMHO.

A port of the old Alladin to all AmigaNG flavours might have needed less than 6 month. After this step there would have been enaought time to improve the render engine and write a new editor for OSX/Linux.

But most result of Alladin I saw where not good compared to open source renderers. So Alladin can't compete with software on big platforms like OSX, Win, or Linux and the Amigaoid market is to small.

Well, you didn't get reply even their own cheerleading site a.org. And they announced year or two back that their priority is OSX platform and it's not out on it yet. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting OS4 release since "DiscreetFX labs" haven't managed to give even single screenshot so far. Specially when you are talking about comppany which cant manage to upgrade their site to security norms of this decade after been told about the problems 4 months ago.

@DiscreetFX

on your blog you mention you are close to a release. on the aladdin 4D page on your site, you mention a new 'internal beta' released two days ago. since you are apparently making progress, could i ask you just one little favor?

in the name of all that is holy, could we -- at long last -- have the forever-promised screenshots? please?!

I know Aladdin4D wasn't all that powerfull, but I did enjoy using it on the classic. It was the first 3D program that I found easy to learn & I would still love to see it on os4.

I agree I enjoyed it also. But that might be the closest thing to a screenshot you get. :)

Isn't using Amigas, SAMs, Pegasos', AmigaOnes, MacMinis, posting at Amiga forums and using all kind of software with the mentioned systems a waste of time? Isn't giving money for bounties (UAE-JIT or MorphOS programming guide), buying software (CygnusED, Hollwood) a waste of time and money? Updating MorphOS or AmigaOS4.x - time waste? Etc. pp. blablabla... Oh dear...
