Apparently the folks at Pixologic don’t get it. The inability to construct mac-based displacement maps without artifacts is apparently not a “Show stopper” to them. I was struck by this original concept–the maker of a product, deciding for themselves what is a “show stopper.” What next? Cars without brakes? It’s not a show stopper, just use your feet . . .
It is this kind of nonsense from a manufacturer that engenders the love-hate relationship between Pixologic and it Mac user base. On the one hand, they build a unique and interesting product. They promise a mac version for years and when they ultimately deliver, it’s broken in several places. They promise to fix it in the next version and promise it will be delivered last year. Then, when called on it they sheepishly announce “we’ll tell you later.” When further called on it, they derride the concern as not a show stopper. This is a PR nightmare and it amazes me to watch a company just dig themselves in deeper. If you think it is a showstopper, let Pixologic know: support@pixologic.com.
