Yes I do actually.
Modelworks has been on my case since the beginning, and his posting style is a nasty combination of bluffing, spreading misinformation, arrogance and being disrespectful (and yes, he has most definitely resorted to personal attacks many a time. As far as I'm concerned, he had it coming).
Just take this particular episode. He's basically trying to tell me that it's not possible to write a 3dsmax viewport rendering plugin, even though I have written such plugins in the past, and there are various examples of such plugins which can easily be found with some googling.
He's also pretty much LITERALLY said that if he doesn't know about something, it cannot exist. Well, you can't get more arrogant than that. Apparently he thinks he knows everything. You can't make a point with a guy like that anyway. He simply doesn't listen to anything.
I think the guy needs to be taught a lesson or two.
Let him come to the Autodesk 3dsmax SDK forum and argue his point about 3dsmax plugins there. It will be a much better argument than on a forum like this.
When I say he doesn't know what he's talking about, it's not a personal attack, it is a fact, deduced from the statements he's made in this very thread. This is actually an acceptable defence in a court of law.
