As part of the subscription, you can use any version from R21. I do this myself in the studio. For example, we have one plugin that is not yet updated to newer versions and when someone needs to use it, we run the R21 version.

Overall, I really like this licensing system, except as it is now. I have rendering enabled on my office computer and since I am at home now due to illness, I cannot test anything or arrange it in a different scene while working at home. I have several licenses in the studio and I have to wait for someone else to release a license, which only happens in the evenings. But then I usually feel worse and I don't have the strength to work anymore. There should be some convenient way that allows you to seize the license without stopping rendering.

You are great! I missed the snap I was used to in Softimage so much. Help C4D, which is great overall, didn't explain the feature. Thank you for this video! 🙂

You are wrong, because apart from the revenue / size of the project up to USD 100,000, the number of licenses is also important. After all, I showed the calculations above. After all, having a second partner is enough, and although you don't reach the 100,000 and you no longer qualify for any Idie program. I'm sorry to you, but the truth is, it's hard to be a professional alone. Usually, when you develop and become a professional, you need to work in a team of at least a few people if you want to have a normal life, and not stay at work 12 hours a day, with no weekends and no holidays.

It depends how you look at it. When you have a small company where several people work in the studio, unfortunately you cannot have such low prices for programs. I live in Poland, a country in the European Union, but the average salary here is at the level of 60% of the EU average. Additionally, I have a company in a region where the average earnings are 86% of the average in Poland and 70% of the average for the capital city. This means that $ 100,000 a year is often a limit for small companies with several employees, which is not always exceeded. And despite this, you can no longer use indie licenses because there are restrictions on the number of seats. Therefore, while living in Poland, I count my money very carefully. In this context, for me, the price of Cinema 4D is very attractive. Let's compare, there are 4 3D workplaces in my company. With such a number of stands, the prices are as follows (prices converted from the Polish currency PLN together with 23% VAT tax which is applicable in Poland): Maya (annual subscription): PLN 9,401.00 = USD 2,442 3D MAX (annual subscription): PLN 9,401.00 = USD 2,442 Cinema 4D (annual subscription): PLN 3,324.39 = USD 864 Cinema + Redshift (annual subscription): PLN 4,654.42 = USD 1,209 Houdini (annual upgrade to five seat plan): $ 2,495.00 X-Particle (annual subscription): $ 483.72 + 23% VAT = $ 594.98 Corona renderer (annual subscription) = PLN 1,607 = USD 418 Redshift (annual maintenance): PLN 1,291.23 = USD 335.39 (to make it easier, I no longer include the cost of purchasing a perpetual license of USD 500 per position) Important note, I don't need a Redshift, X-particle or Coron renderer at every workstation. I use them at workplaces that require it. ------ Cinema 4D based studio: 2 x Cinema 4D with Redshift = 1,209 x 2 = $ 2,418 2 x Cinema 4D = 864 x 2 = $ 1,728 2 x X-particle = 594.98 x 2 = $ 1,189.96 Total: $ 5,335.96 2 x Corona renderer = 418 x 2 = $ 836 Total including Corona: $ 6,171.96 ------ Studio based on Autodesk Maya: 4 x Maya = 2,442 x 4 = $ 9,768 2 x Redshift = 335.39 x 2 = $ 670.78 Total: $ 10,438.78 ------ Studio based on Autodesk 3D MAX: 4 x MAX = 2,442 x 4 = $ 9,768 2 x Redshift = 335.39 x 2 = $ 670.78 Total: $ 10,438.78 2 x Corona renderer = 418 x 2 = $ 836 Total including Corona: $ 11,247.78 ------ Studio based on Houdini: 4 x Houdini = 2,495 x 4 = $ 9,980 2 x Redshift = 335.39 x 2 = $ 670.78 Total: $ 10,650.78 ********************* Summarizing. For me, a studio based on Cienema 4D is about 2 times cheaper!

In our studio, we acquired another subscription Cinema 4D, this time with Redshift. 🙂

This is probably a problem with your configuration. In my office on several computers with S22 there is no such problem. Even before SP1. Report it to MAXON describing your hardware configuration and used progeams and plugins.

Really great work.

Hi everyone! I tried to buy Navie Effect and I was worried that the site disappeared, and here is such a surprise! I downloaded and installed, everything works, I have only one problem. The version downloaded from GIT has no pressets! And thus, for example, there is no package "Particles Mesher" prepared. Any ideas?
