I’ve noticed the old preset directory has been inaccessible for a while. So I’ve added them all together into one big Zip file for you all. It comes in at 80mb so go make yourself a cup of tea or coffee. :)

A few weeks later and PresetCentral is now the proud new host of Ben Vost’s site. Hopefully this will mean speedier and more reliable access for all.

PS: If there are any other LW sites experiencing hosting issues, give me a shout.

For those of you not familiar with PSPlant should have a look at this page.

Andrew was keen for PSPlant to open source and available to Lightwave’s more technical users to enhance and tinker with. The code is C# and will be available via an SVN repo.

For a long time I’ve thought Autodesk’s policy of not allowing legitimate users of their software to sell own their copies of software.

As we all know, Newtek has allowed for a long while and is one of the many reasons people are happy to part with their hard earned money in the first place. Knowing you can sell your copy of Lightwave when you no longer need it has been a key selling point, for the amateur market at least.

To quote from the statement:

“A lawsuit has been filed in Federal Court (US District Court for the Western Washington District C07-1189 JLR) that alleges Autodesk, Inc maker of the industry standard AutoCAD software and their attorney Andrew S. Mackay have devised an illegal scheme to have used copies of their software removed from the eBay site using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Rest assured Presetcentral.com will be back with blog entries and an update on the PSPlant project.

Cheers, Ben
