As I have had some brash things to say about H9 in the past I thought it was only fair to post my most recent experience.

I was watching attack of the show, where they were talking about PS3 programmers who were complaining about the complexity of the new PS3 architecture, blaming that for the lack of titles out this Christmas, and it got me thinking. Most likely the change from H 8 to 9 is akin to that of PS2 to PS3 . So I sat down at my computer determined to learn the entire H9 structure.

At the end of the day, there are most definately improvments to the UI. The parameter interface is very handy, in the long run, and the new way of linking tabs and multiple tabs per pane is great! I still feel like I am clicking more of the interface, although, after some well spent time, I'm sure I will find a more efficient setup than I currently have.

I d/l wolfwoods (I think it was) color scheme and it really adds a modern look. Thus far no need on my end for any changes, thanks wolfwood!

And I would be truly insane if I didn't mention the Starving Artist Edition. Not in 7 years of being in this industry have I heard of any such offer from a company. HD resolution, full capabilities, and no watermark, all for only 99$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No… seriously, that is amazing! I can actually consider putting together my personal piece that I started in art school, and burn it to Blu-Ray/HD-DVD and show to everyone in HD.

I don't mean to wax poetic, but SESI you have proven to me, without a shadow of a doubt, that you are a peoples/artists company.

Thank You again,
