Hi all,
Let me first say that we in 3D Studio (informally known as the LDD team) are very happy and proud that the new release of LDD, version 4, is so eagerly anticipated.
I wish I had more concrete news for you (the reason why I have not posted earlier is that I hoped I would have), but what I can essentially say is that LDD 4 is pretty much done but we are waiting for a "launch window" where we can put it online.
We were originally scheduled for a late September launch but, as another member at the site correctly guessed, LEGO Universe is pulling a lot of resources these days, and this has made it necessary to reshuffle our launch plans. Of course we would like to get LDD 4 out now that it is done, but LEGO Universe is a very important project to all of us, and launching it successfully, which we are very much on track to do, has top priority.
I will let you know when we have an update for you on the launch date for LDD 4.
Best regards,
Claus Toftegaard Matthiesen
Technology Manager, 3D Studio
