MODO 801 is still installing Bonjour to discover network render nodes in the network. AFAIK it can't be uninstalled separately. I don't know about 901, though. Francois Lord schrieb am Thu Dec 18 2014 at 4:39:34 PM: > The Bonjour Wikipedia page once described it as malware on Windows, > because

Doesn't ADSK own Toxik, Composite, Smoke, Flame, FX Tree (Eddie, Media Illusion, Matador), as well as Elastic Reality (inside the FX Tree)? On top of that they have a fantastic vector paint program called Sketchbook Designer (not Sketchbook Pro, though that's pretty spiffy too). It seems like the
