Hi Bob,
Actually, for whatever reason they think (thought) that Alan Lorence meant 2.0 or SE version. Not is Not the version Alan and I discussed in my email. So I corrected them and indicated 3.0 (3.4.1 or now 3.09).
After that, I have not received anything. I was bugging them to get all of the Free Emitters that used be on Wondertouch’s website. Talk about how fast did they get rid of that URL? ( It is already for Sale). Anyway, I had them correct some installers for pi3 (OFX) but they still have not posted the Emitters that everyone who has this program should be able to download again.
The strange thing is, if you google search for borisfx particleillusion, you will find this website: https://borisfx.com/products/particle-illusion/ BUT they have listed this program as Legacy under their downloads page.
So for now, BorisFX has not gotten back to me regarding releasing a Patch so all of us valid users can self-register for when the day comes that BorisFX decides not to allow any registration from their servers.
In reality, they should release a self-validator or self-installer (whatever you want to call it) for all versions of particleillusion that was released.
I hope that BorisFX does the right thing. GenArts in my opinion dropped the ball with particleillusion and did not promote it enough. Heck, after the last Emitter Alan release (he notified users on Creative Cow forum Mar 2, 2015 ) and I told GenArts to add that lastest update to the Emitters page of Wondertouch (when it was still around 6-4-2015) and they indicated they could not devote man hours to edit a website. ?? Really. So a web editor could not take 5 min to add a link and url for Alan’s last Emitter: https://www.wondertouch.com/downloads/new_libs/emitters_Q3_Q4_2014_il3.zip
All around sad in my opinion.
