| Sorry for being on topic.. ;)
I was wondering in what state the source code was in..
what need to be done at its current state.
is MUI a must or can you port it another gui system?
I may be interested in looking at the source to see if its something I can work with.

Good Luck!
However, I fear there is no viable market for such commercial software, not anymore. Probably only bounty for full open source could save this once great application for future (and give you at least some money). |

Such an approach did actually exist back then...
After acquisition of Aladdin 4D by DiscreetFX, donors were told to contact Bill Panagouleas for refund.

I suppose this was the logical next step given this thread's topic.

| Just making it official, Aladdin4D current programmer was fired on May 9th, 2013 do to lackluster performance. It's doubtful that he ever had the technical skill for developing 3D animation software. He was never even able to figure out how to make the program render anything but garbage. I blame myself in part for believing he could work on this type of software without any prior proof of concepts from him. |

I would like to ask that "dirty laundry" not be aired on this site. If there are personal issues at play between DFX and other parties, these should be handled in private or through legal processes, and not here.
We will not condone dishonest practices made by organisations. Equally, we cannot tolerate the continued slandering or libellous remarks made either by members of AW or the organisations targeted by them to continue here.
