Resignation as Moderator

Rhoel · Post by **Rhoel** » Fri Aug 06, 2010 10:05 am

Hi Folks,

After moderating on this board for the past three years or so, I have decided to stand down. Several reasons, pressure of work being high on the list. Something had to go.

But increasingly I find myself in a quandary ... I am not happy with SM's direction of ASP and not being able to speak freely its getting to feel hypocritical. Currently, I don't own ASP6 or 7, and am unlikely to in the short term. In my work, I'm using ASP less and less and its accounting for a very small % of my income; in less than 18 months, my3D TV output has surpassed the animation work. Had ASP had the S3D tools as requested, maybe my use of ASP would have been different.

Currently my efforts are concentrated on live-action and time-lapse, for which the necessary 3D tools are available. Coupled with the fact ASP will not fit in with standard production pipelines, the software is increasingly gathering dust on the back shelf.

So my position as a moderator is untenable and it's time for me to move on. I may post from time to time, but in all honestly, compared with the time and energy spent on the S3D forums, my online presence here is tiny.

Thanks for all the support I've received from the regular posters here, I've enjoyed every minute of it. I am sure there are other capable hands who can take over and do even better.

For for now, adios.

Rhoel

Hope you come back to visit from time to time Rhoel, you were a very good moderator.

As for the whole 3d thing, I think it's a fad that will pass.
