  • Modo is by no means a maya replacement.... if anything it was designed to compliment maya and other 3d packages as it has no animation features and very limited rendering abilities (if any.... I'm not sure yet). Modo is designed as an intuitive mode…
  • Yup, I went through the same thing. After you reply to the email they cancel the original order and split into 2 new orders and you lose your spot in the queue. Then a manager reviews the order and they go back into the system and put you back into …
  • 1...2...3.... and gone. This confirms nothing.
  • I just received and email offering me these options for the 2.5/6800 I ordered on 7/12: ____ _Please ship my system with an ATI Radeon 9600 XT w/128MB SDRAM card at no additional charge by September 3rd and ship a stand-alone NVidia GeForce 680…
  • http://www.miglia.com/products/video...dvr/index.html I've had one in my G5 for a few weeks now and am very happy so far.
  • What is your config and when did you order? I'm sure I'll be waiting on mine w/ the 6800 for a few more weeks
  • I'm sure apple needs to play catchup and one of the biggest problems has to be the 6800. The later your projected shipdate the shorter (if any) your delay. Thats my educated guess from watching these situations like a hawk for 5 yrs.... nothing mor…
  • The orders that are showing up as shipped now must not have the 6800. Maybe all the dates got moved to 8/20 but that was just for the 6800.
  • Yup. This is one thing that pisses me off to no end about apple. Of course there are other shortcomings... but they are merely annoyances compared to the incessant shipping delays. We're talking about 3k+ purchases that more often then not are tool…
  • Great, just changed to 8/20.
  • Apple ship dates are perpetually disappointing. I have a feeling they may ship a couple 2.5's w/ 6800's just to be able to say they did. I'm guessing it will be random orders from before july 15th as history dictates Apples definition of "first come…
  • quoting myself from macnn: "Ok, just called apple again. The guy I spoke to said it did seem a bit fishy and he didnt think the card was available until mid august or later. I was then put on hold for 15 min while he spoke to a supervisor. When h…
  • There are people on the macnn forums expecting their very early orders of 2.5 w/6800 in late august. I dont understand how I ordered mine 7/12 and have a 7/30 date that apple has confirmed twice. I'm starting to expect a last minute delay of another…
  • I just called again about my 2.5 w/6800 and this time spoke to someone who seemed a bit more knowledgeable. He said the 2.5's should be shipping on time and when I asked about the 6800 he said that my order will very likely be shipped as stated on 7…
  • OK, here is a rundown of the est shipping times that can be expected when ordering from the apple store today: From this it looks like the primary hold up is on the 2.5's, regardless of video card. A 2.0 with 6800 ordered today is expected…
  • I ordered CTO 2.5 with everything stock except the 6800 on 7/12. My "on or before date" is still 7//30. I called today to confirm and was told that date was accurate, however when I asked about the availability of the 6800 and its effect on the shi…
  • I just heard an old tape of a radio interview my band did in college (95-96ish). When asked about our influences I blurted out "a whole lot of enya". It was pretty damn funny at the time. [ 11-15-2001: Message edited by: jj ]

  • "I plan to render a full-length motion picture (similar to Final Fantasy, but with much more nudity) on my iBook, using Maya, in real time. " Just be sure to make it public on your iDisk I think we need a new nudity specific Graemlin …
  • This is a pretty cool thing for AW to do, just don't expect to create a whole lot if you are "just tinkering", because you will get frustrated pretty quickly. Maya has one hell of a learning curve, and unless you're quite serious about learning i…
