Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
There is an extremely steep learning curve involved when it comes to blender. Although it does seem to be providing everything for free that other tools provide if you subscribe to them. I am not disagreeing with you. I think this thread was about people who already invested into Zbrush and have mastered it. I am happy… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
This. I really wished they would have just started charging small fees for updates like ... every year or so. Given how many users they must have that could still have been a significant thing for the company. While the free updates were of course always apreciated I also wondered how they were doing it while still… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
@FourtyNights : True, but only to an extent as was pointed out by the OP and earlier posts. If one wishes to install a specific version prior to 2022, then Pixologic/Maxxon refuses to activate it - but instead they do offer a (somewhat forced) update to the last Pixologic+Maxxon version which is 2022. Of course this sounds… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
I'm kind of glad that the minor patching for ZB 2022 is over now. I can finally stick to the 2022.0.7 forever (as long as my license is valid for years to come). -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
not sure what you are talking about, but my 3dsmax 2011 still runs perfectly fine. the free updates for zbrush never have been sustainable, i wished they would have started charging for them earlier. It lead to zbrush catering to a more and more casual crowd, ignoring long lasting bugs for many comfort features nobody in… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
I was agreeing with you. I was just saying that this thread was for people who already invested in zbrush and mastered it, probably they currently use it in their workflows which possibly makes them stuck, unless until they learn alternatives for sculpting or make peace with the last zbrush version. It is possible that,… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
Hello, Well, the upgrade to Maxon 2022 (permanent) from an older version comes for free. It is done through their license conversion process. The page states that it converts to 2021, but it is actually 2022. The very annoying thing imho is that it puts anyone currently using an older version in the precarious situation of… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
You're probably right. I get that that there is not much that can be done about the changes in terms. My issue is with leaving the "16 years" language up when, given the subsequent events that unfolded, Pixologic clearly knew that the ZBrush 2022 product had been sold and that the spirit of those words no longer held. The… -
Re: ZBRUSH - All new updates to require Maxon subscription
Of course ! But that's besides the point here. The point is that unlike other companies (like ... Adobe !), Maxon locks people who've purchased something out of using it. So the game to play here is, imho, to vote with ones wallet. But the silver lining is that things will even out naturally anyways. The top rows of…
