Hey guys, last year I mentioned that we were working on future developments for Firetext and that I would let you know how things were progressing nearer the release dates of each one.
Well I'm pleased to announce the imminent release of one of those updates, both Firetext and TextMachine 3D joined together on a project last year to bring you a plugin that will enhance the way SMS messages and the way you can display them on screen even more amazing.
Not just SMS messaging, but any text, images and video can be manipulated on screen. All it needs is your imagination!

Hey Layne! Thanks for asking, we are preparing commercial stuff, as for technical side we are set already ;) you can understand things were running faster these last days due to "newers" in the VDJ arena, amazing coincidence in release dates for both software's though :)
But we have those features already incorporated for next release and more, we are on the next level already, with 3D texting & animation plus multi-screens and incredible output port stuff also included in the next realease.
Of course our users are our treasure, and they will get free adapter from FireText and discounted price off Text Machine 3D special version for FireText, thus a complete bundle. We are also thinking on a promotional bundle price for launch and this is why we didn't release our beta yet, as said we will be ready to deploy for March, just a while to wait for, but in the mean while everyone could start familiarizing with Text Machine 3D, it's a whole new world to learn, take your ideas to the limit and beyound...
As Paul said, we do have another great surprise coming soon for VDJ users ;) stay tuned for more updates on this next major release :) thanks for reading.
