Re: export

PS Mac's come with a boot-up disc. You can easily restore your system and search for issues with the utility on the purchase package boot up disc. Why is HP / MicroSoft forcing people to pay $49 (minimum) to their phone service engineer to learn how to reboot from other than the startup drive? Why not supply a disc with the purchased hardware? I went to see if a disc came with the box, but, alas... no.

This is corporate greed. I'm sorry if it stirred "brand loyalty". I am fully aware that Apple also has its pitfalls in terms of what they require you to lay out financially... it was a lighthearted put-down. For a lot more money, you do get some valuable stuff that makes dealing with Macs easier.

Sorry to jump in on this, but its not a Microsoft issue, the OS supports thousands of different configurations, not the strict set hardware configs that macs have, its the manufacturer's issue. Macs are supposedly more stable as the hardware is so so strictly controled (not that i've seen more stability with them tbh, as its down to the software more than anything) but therein is the major problem. You try upgrading a mac to the latest hardware, but as you say you get a nice little disk that sorts it out.

Then again you can just pop the windows disk in and go for a repair, or use system restore to go back to previous settings...

For how much apple charges for hardware and with the lack of avialable configs and future upgrades, I personally think that there not a viable option, look good though!

As for exporting to C4D I would go with obj, as it preserves the UV's, you may have to start up the obj plug in in the plug in manager which is in Windows-> settings/Pref's->plug in manager.
