Good tool, but needs work.

Tool itself is easily 4 or 5 stars functionally, but the problem is in the platform support. I can't help but feel I'd get a bit more out of 64 bit Blender, and this is the only tool I use that doesn't support that. Not to mention because of the reliance on Microsoft Visual C++ Libraries, it makes this tool Windows-only, which hurts for our fellow Mac and Linux users, leaving them with Avastar as pretty much the only option, and that's double the price (granted, it also is an animation tool with shape importing as a secondary function).

In short: Drop the Microsoft libraries in favor of a pure-python plugin, you'd get 4 stars.
Have it default to the last used selection so I don't have to manually select "File" every time, and you'd get 5.
For now, 3 is perfectly fair.

Wonderful tool

I had a few issues trying to get it installed and after a simple message, Wiz immediately helped me. Perfect customer service and a good tool.

PS. if anyone is using Firestorm, the New Archetype.xml is located: C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\Firestorm\user_settings

Before I purchased this I IMed Wiz in world and soon as he responded I purchased this after making sure the DEMO worked!

Which it did, all in the IM box I emailed him the license and my email address and within a few minutes he sent it me and I got it working :)

I recommend you IM Wiz in-world before purchasing so you know you won't be waiting too long for the license :) !

VERY AWESOME STUFF :D !!
