What is buried in the Insydium fused announcement is that ONLY XP will be remaining perpetual in the new Fused plan. New plugins, like Meshform and Terraform, and Cycles 4D will go to subscription. Cycles 4D perpetual licenses are no longer being sold. If you have Cycles 4D now under maintenance then you can still get perpetual updates through the end of your original Cycles maintenance agreement. Redshift is also no longer perpetual.... So this is what would be a HUGE surprise for me with R25: Maxon offers indie licensing. R25 perpetual upgrades are still being offered. Yes...I would be more surprised if C4D stayed perpetual with R25. Sorry...but for me it is only a matter of time. If they can make that announcement for Redshift, then C4D cannot be far behind. Now, here is the big question: Will Maxon drop the price of its Redshift/C4D subscription bundle to soothe the crowd of removing C4D perpetual licensing? Would you jump on the C4D subscription if you knew it came with Redshift at the same price? I bring this up because I just find it funny that in June Maxon offers a 30% sale for a Redshift and C4D bundle. 30% off that bundled price drops the price to only $2 less each month than just a C4D subscription. Hmmm....where they possibly testing the market demand on now including Redshift with the C4D subscription at the same cost of 59.91/month? Just a thought. In any case, I find myself more interested in Blender 3.0 than C4D R25 given my fears that perpetual licensing is coming to end. Kind of sad statement of affairs on where my head is at with Cinema 4D after 16 years of using the program. Dave
