And probab= ly not a coincidence, but a heads up if anyone was looking to upgrade, ther= e is 10% off C4D upgrades at toolfarm this month, with added discount for y= our C4D lite licenses that come with AE CC. Not a shill, but it's good = software, and definitely complements my Maya knowledge. People are saying t= hey will jump ship to=A0
