What I do mind is having to pay for a subscription model.

Do the same for each specific year and they’d make something instead of nothing from the people who are most likely to jump ship, and also happen to be probably the most skilled and most die-hard zbrush fans and most active community members. If you charge them $17 this year, that’ll be a profit of $680,000 instead of a profit of $0 AND it’ll be worth its weight in gold in word of mouth marketing and giving a feeling of good will to the people who have thoughts of hate and resentment growing in their soul towards Maxon and Zbrush. Zbrush has not received 1 penny from them since 2005. Let’s say there’s 40,000 who haven’t paid for an upgrade since 2005 specifically. Haven’t paid for upgrade since 2016? You only pay $7 this year, $8 next year, and $9 the year after that until you get up to the same price everyone else is paying.

What I would try if I were them is to charge people $1 for every year since the last time you give zbrush any money. How many other people might there be like you? 400? 4,000? 8,000? Does anyone have a good guess?

So if zbrush hasn’t received a penny from you in 10 years. I mean Maxon does in fact have some level of redundancy with the Zbrush purchase as of now (that and how it is now in Cinema already with the latest release).

For a limited time, we ask of you to take advantage of this unbeatable deal to keep your access to Zremesher, the industry leader in retopology (now exclusive to Cinema 4D Studio Edition). You also get to decide how much you want to pay (from very little per month to thousands), you don’t get that choice with subscription software.Ĭonsidering the unprecedented rate of changes by Maxon as far as software goes, I wonder how long before Zbrush users get an email like this.Īs a company that takes pride in delivering the industry’s leading technology in computer graphics, we invite you to take part in the next big leap as we work to maximize the synergy between our diverse array of products and their users. Blender dev fund is essentially a subscription but I know it supports developers to deliver better product.
