£626 instead of £540 bad timing for me. Of course its expected that with such a expensive app one should be making money so it should pay for itself, but at the end of the day you expect to be getting more in return, that puts higher expectations on r20 for sure. Before long the hobbyist will be pushed out altogether, things are just getting too expensive, and with the way its all heading it will end up everyone will be renting their software simply because your be forced to as the cheaper option. Im still on board with MAXON only because their competitors are taking bigger liberties, and that includes The Foundry with with their scheming methods to burn the pockets of their customers for so little in return, then add 50% penalty for every year a maintenance is missed.
R20 is my pit stop, and I expect to see something significant for my money otherwise Im out the race, more so now my circumstances have changed drastically. For the character artist of course Maya is the way to go but too expensive to keep that up long term, so C4D is the next best thing, but I need to see MAXON giving Maya a bit of competition in the near future in these areas, and more so in areas that should already be on par with MODO Modelling.
