The license is 1 per computer with a MANUAL release of license. They don’t have pay monthly, commit annually as many other companies. They integrated RedShift so if you desire GPU rendering, you have to pay another USD 22.00 monthly, which get you close to Maxon One (half) price, to lure more users in. Just another push to get tied into the ecosystem. They offer half price Maxon One for first year. There is no point debating why is that high. The pricing is clearly designed to push into subscriptions.

The new symmetry feature of Zbrush 23 is rather a long needed patch than an update.Īs well with Vray and their new scatter tools…I work with itoo and don´t need it. Most software updates (patches?) are cosmetic and not useful for all users. (approx., no subscription but expensive updates) Vray-Solo (insane for an already programmed plugin!) 34,90 € (available since 2020, after years of complaints and discussions finally a very fair price for individualists) Monthly costs for generalist for Subscriptions 2D&3DĪdobe Creative Cloud (new price 2023) 73,49 € If you stop paying, you can’t use the software that day and your investment is gone…very fair. I hope that other Zbrush users will not be driven into this subscription madness.

Maxon, Vray and Native Instruments are now cancelled for me.

Plus costs for office rent, NI hardware, Wacom Cintiq, PC Workstation & iMax + Internet + Telephone, Smartphone, + + +. KeyShot is widely recognized as the industry-leading visualization solution for design and engineering professionals on both macOS and Windows, and the easiest, most powerful when it comes to presenting concepts for design reviews, exploring digital prototypes, and creating final visuals for marketing and sales – all from your 3D data.Below is an estimated calculation of what I would have to pay monthly as a generalist if I went along with all the subscription crap.
