Actually, I'm not so angry, it's just to catch your attention.
But I'm a bit frustrated. We wait one month (almost) to get an update of rhinoll...One month!!!
Is it normal?
I know nothing about programming but this time seems very long. What do you think?

Hyltom,

I understand your frustration. Some time I think, the developer of Rhinoll is the only one and he is developing all plugins.
And I ask me, do the NL team dosn't test here own code? I install the new version and after some minutes I have got 5 bugs.
Also the weak communication with NL is very frustrating. If NL don't like to communicate with the alpha user, than they should not sell an alpha version. I have thought, the users are part of the developing process.

May be it's because i 'm used to Brian (Rhinoman) and his updates. When he developped Rhinoman for Rhino 3.0 we had some updates almost every night, during 3 or 4 month (Micha can confirmed). And when you tell him that something is not working well you just wait few days before get a good version. And this guy is not a professional. He was doing that as a part time job. I don't want to blame specially the developer of Rhinoll because i think it's the same for all Maxwell plugins. Every user need to wait a long time before get a new update. And may be I'm wrong but I think that between 0.5.1 and 0.5.5 there is 3 other version. So why we didn't get them? We are suppose to be alpha tester, isn't it?

Sorry but this is not the way it works. Precisely one person can be doing nightly updates because he works alone. As long as the software becomes more complex and more people get involved, new dependencies come around. With RealFlow we have moved from nightly updates (8 years ago, when I was alone) to a serious 45-days update cycle.

Thanks for your answer Victor. Don't worry, as I told it before I'm just frutrated by the time of the development. And your answer make me understand that you need time. So I will wait...and see.
I'm sure I will not be disappointed by the final result.

You are write Tom,...I'm also working on it! :wink:

Victor, I hope you can build in more texture controls. At the moment it is not so useful, a tile option is a must for me. Is on the Maxwell wish list a frontal projection for textures?
