My family asked the same and I don’t have a good answer haha

We are definitely not only releasing 1 release per year

Hi @Igor, I just got your membership email and I just wanted to clarify. You wrote: The fee is rather symbolical in it's 5 eur biyearly form, but it greatly increases our capability to vastly improve our community in many ways. So is it every other year or twice a year? Cheers Dave

Igor, should I give you the troll badge for teaching people how to ignore me? Using my profile as the example 😉

must not comment...

This is pure growth. We can't hire fast enough. We have already hired over 30 people this year. We have a brand new office space to fill 🙂 Cheers Dave

We had a special offer for MSA customers early on in the subscription transition where they could trade it. It was never required it was only an offer for a big discount. We are not running this offer any more. Now you buy perpetual or you buy subscription or both. Cheers Dave

answered in the other thread

Go to Cinema 4D Preferences -> Extensions -> Forger File Transfer and turn on Announce Service to Local Network. Enjoy, I will send the 404 info to the team Cheers Dave

As Bjorn implied, we are hiring massively for growth. We currently have something like 20 open positions worldwide. Feel free to contact me if you want to join the team. Cheers Dave

Remember Forger is now available for free 🙂 Cheers Dave

We have tons of positions open. Please apply Cheers Dave

R21 and onwards is fully managed on MyMaxon. Cheers Dave

I am? https://www.nemetschek.com/en/company/about-us I do enjoy the speculation though. There is lots of info on the Nemetschek site if people actually are interested. Cheers Dave (p.s. maybe you mean Nemetschek, Inc. board. Very different than Nemetschek SE, the majority shareholder of Maxon Computer GmbH which isn't the same as MAXON Computer Inc.)

I have said from the beginning that subscribers would be seeing additional benefits over perpetual users. Cheers Dave

I think the misunderstanding is that when people on the internet say that Maxon doesn't listen what they are actually saying is Maxon doesn't do what I say they should. Maxon does listen. We have open conversations, we read all the feedback whether it is pleasant or not, we go to trade shows, we put ourselves as employees out there (Hi Rick!). Then we take a massive amount of feedback and make the best decision that we can. That isn't the same as doing what a single customer says. That old saying... Can't please all the customers on Core 4D all the time, is I think how it goes. So we will always be happy to listen and at times we will disagree. But we are listening. Cheers Dave

You of all people know I am open to a conversation right? Cheers Dave

Maxon is here and listening and talking to customers. But the result is generally not a conversation. It was said that we stopped selling perpetual. I pointed out that is false. You respond that that means absolutely nothing. This does generally make it hard for us to have a good conversation 🙂 It is also relatively less conducive to a good conversation when you minimize the amazing and hard work of the team at Maxon. Here is just the list of things done in the last 3 months and in only 1 of the many products we make. Imagine if we added that for each product we updated in September. I know it is really hard to wish of the internet in modern times but wouldn't it be nice if we went back to discussing? Cheers Dave

We also didn't sell a perpetual for C4D S24 but that doesn't mean we stopped selling perpetual C4D. As I have said from the beginning the subscription model means we can deliver more and regular updates too subscribers. In the past Red Giant never had 2 major releases in a year for perpetual users. Cheers Dave

This is simply not true. https://www.maxon.net/en/buy/perpetual The fall update of Red Giant products was for subscribers but we still sell Red Gian Perpetual. Cheers Dave

You will be able to extend it after August 31st with a max end date of Aug 2024. Cheers Dave

The answer to the question is extremely simple. A perpetual product by definition is you get what you buy at that moment in time. A subscription by definition allows us to continue to deliver improvements. With perpetual you get the asset browser and assets that we ship with the perpetual release. With a subscription we can decide to deliver additional assets over time. Cheers Dave

They should all be there under the News page. You can filter by Case Studies Cheers Dave

Well I am old enough to not remember being born
