Customers complained to us that the special price on Aladdin 4D this month was only available to Amiga Video Toaster customers. We have listened to your feedback and are now offering it for all current owners of Amiga OS 4.0, 4.1, Sam440, EFIKA, MorphOS, and Amiga Forever 2008. Customers who have purchased this software/hardware are active and stimulating the market.

Windows Vista customers need not apply and don't qualify for this special offer. Normally A4D sells for $99.95 plus shipping. For the next 48 hours this product will only be $69.95 and will included free worldwide shipping.

Aladdin 4D works great on classic Amiga's, Amiga OS 4.1, MorphOS, AROS with E-UAE, Amiga Video Toaster based systems, and especially virtual Amiga environments like Amiga Forever 2008 from Cloanto running AmiKit. In fact reviews state that rendering times for Aladdin 4D are almost instant in Amiga virtual machines like Amiga Forever.

Aladdin 4D is the last commercial Amiga 3D animation program available which is in active development for Amiga OS 4.1, MorphOS 2.2, AROS, and Amiga virtual machines. This does not have to be the case though. We welcome competition and a vibrant active 3rd party community on Amiga and Amiga like systems. An active, creative and competitive 3rd party development community is what is needed to make the Four Headsmen of Amiga (Amiga OS 4.1, MorphOS 2.2, AROS, and Amiga Forever 2008) a success. Your support of Aladdin 4D ensures faster development of this unique program created by Greg Gorby. A4D is a great introduction to the 3D animation software industry.

Anyone who purchases Aladdin 4D and buys LightWave 3D within six months gets a $50 credit towards LW3D from us. Aladdin 4D can be purchased from the link below. Rub the Lamp, Render the Magic. The smoke stops coming out of the lamp on February 1st, 2009 and this sale ends then.

Aladdin 4D Sale


Best regards

Aladdin development seems stagnant. It's been stuck on the 4Dth version for 15 years. Maybe it's time for version 4D1? Even 4D.01 would do. SOMETHING to indicate that SOMETHING is going on.  :idea:

Curious... how will you verify customers don't run Amiga Forever / WinUAE on Vista?

@weirdami

We took it over a little over a year ago and it takes time to get up to speed on another companies code. We had no control over it before that. Version 5.0 came out in 1999, and 5.1 Alpha after that. You are right though it went too long without an update. Our internal versions are not ready for the public yet.

@Golem!dk

It was a joke, if someone that owns Vista also owns Amiga Forever 2008 then they will get the discounted price.

It's been 3 years you've been trying to resell this piece of software. I have no doubt it is a great piece of software but come on... At least bring some proof you're working on something...

Acquisition of A4D was done on December 17th, 2007 so we have not had it for 3 years, just over one year.

Only 24 hours left to take advantage of this offer. Please note, there will be an upgrade price for current owners depending when they bought the package. Prices on Aladdin 4D will be going up not down in the future to help R & D. Waiting to buy will cost customers more not less.

If you're interested in 3d graphics on the Amiga (or with UAE) then Aladdin 4d is not a bad purchase.  Okay, it's not the latest software compared to PC stuff - but it's still very capable.  Also, it comes in a nice glossy box with a wonderful thick detailed manual.  Feels good to get Amiga software like that in 2009 and it also supports Amiga developers.

The 48 hour sale for Aladdin 4D is now over. The sale button has now been removed from the site. We want to thank everyone that participated. Thank you for the kind words ral-clan.
