Quote - Let's see, what do other professional annual maintenance programs cost?
3DS Max: $495
AutoCad: $450
Maya Unlimited: $1295
Revit: $695So, unless you just can't stand not having the latest version, just keep using 7.0-- there doesn't seem to be THAT much difference. Also, when 8.0 finally does come around, you won't have to complain about it's upgrade path, as you'll have the same upgrade costs as the 7.5 users.
But how many of these programs go up SO HIGH in price so quickly? What was the price increase between Vue5I, Vue6I and Vue7I - not even going towards the xStream pricing that still does NOT do what it was advertised?
ALL programs were supposed to be able to do eco-system painting within their respective programs. And now for 7.5 they tout one of the "new" features as eco-system painting within the appllication. What's up with that?
