well if they donā€™t offer the older versions on their website then I guess you are out of luck.

I still canā€™t see why you would care about older versions though but I see no harm in asking?

gmask, you are pretty persistant arenā€™t you? lol

ok, you asked, so here are my reasons:

  1. this latest release is not as stable as the previous releases I have tried
  2. see reason 1) it really is as simple as that

but if you require more reasons, here are a few more for you:

  1. I would enjoy viewing the progress of this app through trying out several different versions

  2. I would like to test some of the plugins which do not seem to work in the latest releases

  3. I see no harm in checking out previous releases, do you?

  4. I was growing tired of reading about Poser related stuff and thought I would explore Wings while practicing my modeling skills :wink: :wink:

Makesā€¦ senseā€¦ actually itā€™s kind of surprising that they donā€™t link some of the recent other versions for those reasons. If the version you have is crashing alot they may very well send you a more stable version if you write to them about it.

Wowā€¦ that isnā€™t the typical gmask I know, everything alright g?

Hey sabrinaā€¦ not really sure what happened to the old release pageā€¦ it used to be there (I shit you not). I tried to look on sourceforge.net but I am getting a connection error (crappy macs). Funny that the old iterations are not there (at least the last 4 stable versions)ā€¦ I canā€™t remember which was the last version to work with Clacosā€™ plugins, but Iā€™ll check when I get home and maybe I can email the installer to ya.

Me to so itā€™s not a mac thingā€¦ as iā€™m on the PC

everything is fine hereā€¦ just being my usual inquisitive self :wink:

Hi JDex, thank you very much, I would surely appreciate any assistance I can get :slight_smile:

I have been viewing for some time now and I seem to remember a member suggesting they were using an older version for the Slide plugin and I really wish to give this a try out.

#10

Okayā€¦ well itā€™s still a crappy mac:D

Sabrinaā€¦ I know i am still using an old version (2 or 3 stable releases back) but that is due to sheer lazyness, since the plugins are not something that I have even downloaded, but if memory serves, I still have a handful of the even older releases on a cd somewhere, Iā€™ll be glad to look into itā€¦ provided Bjorn doesnā€™t come down on me with a winged-edge vengence, although I donā€™t see why he would. :thumbsup:

#11

You are a sweety JDex, I look forward to your post

#12

I am still using the old 98 c too. mainly because slide and tweak S runs with it.

keep trying sourceforge it sometimes works sometimes doesnt depending on their server.

Hey g-mask didnt know you checked out wings forum man , did you start using it too>?

#13

>>>Hey g-mask didnt know you checked out wings forum man , did you start using it too>?

heheā€¦ yeah I actually did download it awhile back and do a couple of tutorials. Iā€™ve allways been a fan of free software even if I didnā€™t use itā€¦ I just beleive in supporting it in anywayā€¦ I like Blender too but never used it :blush:

Anyway since I have been doing more poly modelling in Maya Iā€™m constantly wondering how things could be done differently or more easily. Iā€™m not ready to bounce back and forth between the two programs though.

Probablyā€¦

#16

Gotta admit, I too was a bit shocked to see gmask in our humble Wings forumā€¦ eventually, you will probably want to jump back and forth, the workflow is just so fast. Still looking sabrinaā€¦

#17

I would like blender alot more if I never tried it. but I applaud anyone who uses it successfully. I donā€™t see any modeling selection tools in it that stand out and it seems rather primitive modeling wise. seems you need 2 or 3 versions of it 1 for old python scripts 1 for the game engine features and the newest for new features. seems some of those scripts could have been implemented into the program lord knows it has enough buttons. I will continue reading and learning stuff about it but I think I gave it as much time as any other app I tried and sofar nothing is jumping out at me saying this is an app I must have.

#18

Here is a direct link to SourceForge page for Wings:

From that page, there is a link to the Download page, where you will find all releases.

#19

Oh thank you very much Bjorng. [hugs]

and thank you JDex, for being so kind :slight_smile:

#20

good show there bjorn. hope i wasnā€™t heading down a path that you disapproved of.

sabrina, i was just starting to get to the right batch of back-up cds, but this is much better :smiley:

good luck and i hope you and wings ā€œclickā€, oh yeah, welcome to CGTalk :wavey:

#21

Also, for those trapped in OS 10.1.x on a Mac, you cannot run the newer versions since it requires Jaguar. I cant remember the last version that ran on 10.1.x tho.

I also dont know if that ā€œre-compile Erlang and replace a fileā€ thing still works on the newer versions (in order to make it run on 10.1.x).
