Negotiating, dilemma's and more fun stuff

So in my previous update I said my Cinema licence expired. This was because it was a student version, which I got for a longer time than my school had planned. Which brings me now to the point where I have to buy my own professional version from a Maxon store, the creators of Cinema 4D.
