James, thank you so much for taking the time to answer, and doing it so fast ! it speaks to the quality of your user service which is also a huge asset. I totally understand your situation and I am really excited to see what you'll come up with. I am the senior TD for an animation studio here in Japan, and I decided to switch production on Blender, which is a huge bet by itself but I believe it is a tool that will rise fast. None the less, we have deadlines to meet that is true but I think we also have to be supportive of what may be the solutions for tomorrow. If we could help you in any ways and benefit from beta testing whenever the time comes ... you can count us in !
