yeah thats the new Autodesk...i dont know how good this is
I don`t think you can say that.
First, they don`t aquire as agressivly as AD, second, they do not have the habit of letting bought technology disappear.
On the contrary, I`d say. Redshift and Red Giant are getting meaningful updates fast and often.
Nothing like Autodesk - even with their own top products.
The only thing I "fear" is that the days of free updates will be gone and they sooner or later move on to subscription only. We`ll see...
CHeers, Klaus

the problem is just the subscription model, not the development
yeah, I too do not like that. But it seems, everybody is going that route sooner or later.

Maxon has been king of complicated Geometry since I was a kid, so it's kinda cool seeing them with zbrush. Back in the day there was no other program that could do such crazy geometry or 4th dimensional formula shapes..
Yea, I see free upgrades going away too. I got my money's worth though. I bought ZBrush back in 2004 for $498.95 and just installed the free upgrade to 2022.0.2 today.
3D-Coat hopefully stays Perpetual Licensed for a long time to come. I quite like it, but havn't had a chance to dig deep into it yet. Just used for AutoRetopo.
