Title: Messiah "Dare to Share" deal
Post by: RudySchneider on February 08, 2011, 12:04:42 pm
It's been mentioned lately that Anim8or is a great "getting started" tool.  I couldn't agree more.  However, here's an opportunity for you to get a tool that is a cut above Anim8or, at a VERY reasonable price.  Just check out this link:  http://projectmessiah.com/x6/shop.html (http://projectmessiah.com/x6/shop.html)

Andrew did you buy it??

I notice the shopping cart is not secure, so I`d check your with your bank account/credit cards to see if they have been emptied!

On no, I have too much software as it is :)
Thanks for the head sup though.
I always think "If it's too good to be true then it probably is." !

Did you actually click on the "Buy" button?  It pulls up a secure (https//) Paypal site.

Did you actually check out the site?  Do a bit of homework:  Messiah is a well-known product that pmG, a well-known company, developed on their own and has been marketing for years!  It's not associated with any rip-off, open-source or otherwise.

And as for your secure site problems, kreator, I don't know what to tell ya.  I don't have that issue, and my Norton AV is fully up-to-date.

It was entirely encrypted for me, kreator.

I bit the bullet and purchased it for the heck of it. The interface looks a bit like blender, but seems to have its own unique features. You can view it at work here: http://setuptab.com/index.php?action=store;cat=6

i read that its been around for awhile but any1 can say that. and im not that well versed with a lot of software so i dont know what a lot of the interfaces look like. + a lot of programs you can customize interfaces and whatnot. i was just curious. i might have to check it out then if its legit. its hard to pass up on a bargain like that. thanks for the info

well the interface does kinda look like blender. But blender is open source they allow you to change the code anyway you want and sell it as your own.

Alright, well, I bought it... but dammit I can't even use it! :(

Heh me too. Arik they will send you a message via paypal in the next few days . Best to dowload the whole program now though before the rush. assuming you haven't already.

There are a bunch of Carrara users who have bought it as well, but the pipeline to and fro remains a mystery.

Kevin I used Paypal in the end it looks okay.

You can still buy it cheap although the period isn over they are grabbing as many as possible while they have everybody's attention.

I looked at all the features and it doesn't look like it has anything that blender now doesn't have. Also since blender redesigned their interface its been real easy for me to learn.
Is there anything really substantial in this software that blender doesn't have? Since the price is still low I might buy if it does.

Yeah, I already downloaded it after buying, wondering if I could use it... but still have to wait for confirmation and certification details regardless.

I don't know if it's better than blender or not, but I do like

"Fair Trading":

"850 Meters":


and... "Plankton Invasion":

Still no product delivery...  They claimed to have it out today, but... so I contacted Paypal to see about what to expect or do.

I don't want money back, I want my goods :(

Alright... so, to harp on a bad attitude (mine)... Has anyone received their Studio5 from this promo yet?  Still waiting... getting no responses from the makers, and the phone number provided by PayPal is very peculiar, and goes to a voicemail.

Got and installed mine with no problem.

Same here, received the email Monday and installed and activated mine with no problem. Check your spam mail if anything.

You are lucky you didn't receive yours initially - have  you read this?
