Hey guys, I'd like to comment on one thing regarding Realsofts modeling. In fact, the modeling toolset for Realsoft is far more unified than any of the general 3d applications. For modeling tasks, I see Realsoft as a complete application. Please guys don't compare Realsofts modeling functionality to sculpting and high detail mesh and painting apps. If you use Autodesk products, as I do along with Realsoft, you will find that Maya ships with a powerful but completely disparate set of tools for modeling. When you want to sculpt and paint - you use a sculpt and paint program such as Mudbox. You get hold of the 'suite' of tools and get on with the job.
I think the useful comparisons should be between something like Maya, and it's modeling toolset, and Realsofts. That would be a helpful and useful discussion I think - and I'd be glad to enter it. The two software are at heart similar sorts of beasts, and Realsoft, at least in terms of modeling does in my opinion compete, and arguably surpass in this area, against the best of the general 3d apps. When Realsoft developed version 4, both the nurbs and SDS/Poly modeling toolset arrived in a far advanced revision from previous versions. I thought at the time especially the SDS/Poly was far more than any other general 3d applications modeling toolset on the market. I got to know the features well and had the best experience ever doing beta testing. I think that strength still stands. Realsoft is currently completely useable as a professional modeling tool in any game, film or high end studio. I would like to see a fully complete fbx import export for Realsoft to fully utilise that aspect. Realsofts strength will always be in it's unified design. The modeling toolset is completely unified, functionality is very complete, and the system is robust. This unification of powerful tools does extend to other areas of the software, but that's another discussion ..

RE: (Future...) Key word is full-featured btw. No. No, you haven´t got everything in RS3D that you could dream of in 3D-Coat. Come on, do you REALLY think that? Have you really taken a look at 3D-Coat? Does RS3D have quick and easy UV-Mapping? Does it have quick and easy Retopology? Does it have powerful and intuitive painting? Does it have sculpting? Does it have VOXEL-sculpting? No. It doesn´t. All the things that make 3D-Coat a great tool are absent from RS3D. That´s basically the whole point of wanting such tools in RS3D - because they are not there. Now I personally don´t think that RS3D would have to have sculpting, but implying that RS3D had everything that 3D-Coat could possibly ever have is, well, eh.... unreasonable. Honestly... By the way - I´ve read that you´re gonna publish CombadZ next year. Don´t you wanna reveal at last what CombadZ really is all about? What does CombadZ actually do? Or do we have to wait till next year to see that?
