Re: OctaneRender® for Maya® 2.25 - 7.30 Win [STABLE V2]

I can only agree.
At the company I work for, we decided in February to upgrade and invest in a new render engine. I did my research and there was and still is a reasonable competition some even cheaper. One of the reasons I choose Otoy, was the weekly updates on the plugin, as it promised quick fix for bugs we may encounter and also 3.0 version looked very promising. However since the end of March support has basically stopped. My team has encountered numerous bugs and weak points in the plugin which never been fixed. You, the Otoy team claim you are rewriting the code of the plugin to support Otoy 3 and you have to rewrite it for v2 as well as the previous code is no longer sustainable.
More than 6 months passed without result.
You have been selling v3 plugin licenses since July but there is still no production ready plugin.
The v2 maya plugin's feature set is significantly lower than other plugins'.
The forum has been seriously restricted.
If I go to the otoy shop, i don't see any warnings or information about the limited feature set, support for maya plugin. Also it costs the same which is a really ugly deal from the otoy team.
Even when the team's lack of competence is painfully obvious you still deny, point fingers, make promises but do very little very slowly.
I feel very disappointed and also cheated.
It almost seems to me that you are slowly killing the maya plugin. Frightfully hoping you are not going to get sued.
I'm going to look for other channels to reach management of otoy and find the answers. I urge everyone here to do the same.
