    Yesterday Maxon announced a new version for C4D, exclusive to subscribers (not available for perpetual users), and the update is mediocre to say the least...
    But I started to feel a lot suspicious with the changes, which seems to be targeted at people who wants to create Beeple's like artworks..
    Ready to use trees/ statues/ 3D models, and easy to apply in your scenes...

    Then they had a live to announce it, and started mentioning Bepple, and started with the disclaimer "Hey people, there is too much negativity right now, lets focus on the positive, so we are now giving this that we call.. NFTees! For people who are positive in the chat! And guess what, we are now planting trees!!"

    I've never felt so compelled to abandon a software so fast like this before...

    So yeah, C4D is now an NFT artwork-maker.

      Blender?
      Houdini...?

    • I think there was a lot of talk about Beeple because he was presenting at the Maxon conference today. There wasn't much change in the content library aside fromCyBrainX
    • it being online which is great since that content library was a 5 GB download in the past. I wouldn't get hung up on NFT hype. Any software can be involved inCyBrainX
    • making one. I started playing around with it today. I love the dynamic placement tools and improvements to the interface.CyBrainX
    • It is just the mentality behind everything that pisses me off you know? "Keep the positive attitude, and we give you gifts, hey, we are planting trees"Fabricio
    • Feels like a pre-emptive PR move with zero actual concern for the environment.Fabricio
    • Also, they dont support anymore perpetual licenses 2 months after the release.. so, if you buy today S24, you will get bug fixes for maximum 2 months..Fabricio
    • ... nothing else. This is unnaceptable for a 3.500 software.Fabricio
