It's really possible that a company with this support and service quality won't last too long in the market.

That's terrible. This company is definitely the worst i've ever dealt with in my 15 years of CG. Absolutely terrible.

I don't know about the situation that you are in but I've started an animated series based on the Otoy's estimated release time and I now I have hundreds of shaded scene and it's ...
