Keeping stride with the successful launch of wysiwyg R23, CAST Software announces a series of “Times-R-Tight” promotions to equip professionals with better tools at better prices so they can perform better to get better projects. The industry is abuzz about R23 and CAST has just made wysiwyg much more attractive for new Users or life better for current Users.
German Lighting Designer Rolf Wenzel says, “The new Shaded View with the new footprints is even better than any render I have done in my entire life - I was blown away!" If I compared wysiwyg R23 to ESP (which requires Vectorworks) wysiwyg is superior in all respects and far more economic – easy choice.”
One thing the Beta Testers have agreed: that the last 3 wysiwyg Releases are CAST's biggest and best to date.
CAST keeps its Members and students up-to-date about promotions, news and inspiring stories of creative wysiwyg uses in its bi-monthly electronic newsletter, The PLAN. For the March 09 edition, just hot off the wires, visit http://theplan.wysiwygsuite.com/issue23/. The highly acclaimed PLAN is an industry newsletter brimming with technical info, production stories, pictures, Tips & Tricks and special benefits available for Members – all useful information for students and busy professionals.
