The New "Release" of 3D Studio features another bad crack file.

What the "crackers" failed to understand, is that the Dongle
code (which was encrypted I believe) is used as an index table
to other parts of the program. As a result, their crack does
not work properly.

3D studio will bomb out with "INVALID NORMAL ARRAY" messages
when RENDERING the actual image. This in spite of the fact
that ARRAY & NORMALS to the arrays are computer ONCE early
on during the initial evaluation phase.

This message is out of context (and caused by the crack.)
There are many situations in which this message DOES NOT
appear but for the most part it's a bad crack.

The SAME meshes (even those included) that result in this
error, render just fine with an uncracked version.

BTW: the crack DOES allow you to queue up a rendering
     which may be handled by an uncracked copy running
     as a slave, but this is a poor solution to the
     dongle problem...

Nice try guys, but this is a tough one. Fab. Furlough
produced the only "good" crack of 3DStudio 2.0.
