Plasticity is about to get a MAJOR Power up! 

I hear what you're saying but what ever way you look at it is pretty good value compared to your next options. xnurbs on as a plugin for rhino is 400 dollars, rhino is 1000 dollars. And I think alot of hobbyists would want to activate plasticity on more than one device... Work, home desktop and laptop for example. So the way I see it is you're getting xnurbs for 1100 dollars cheaper than the next cheapest option plus you have the option to activate your license on more than one device. You aren't paying double for anything you're getting access to parasolid and xnurbs for phenomenally cheaper than any other scenario available now.

Yep they will diverge more and more as time goes on, I think the average person is fine with indie at this point in time, if they do alot of surfacing they may want to go for studio, but as more studio only features are added I think people will really have to think about their personal use cases alot more

But it's a yearly subscription model so why pay for it now when you can't even get those features and have to pay another 300 next year to get them

Plasticity on iPad would be Ace!

I see that now!, this was a just a simple set up to show how quickly xnurbs can resolve a surface.

Yes it will only be included in the Studio version, I have heard some small aspects will be included in Indie but I am not sure which. In this video I am using the Beta version of Studio which has upcoming and experimental features of Plasticity.

I see what you mean but I don't nessacarily see it this way, the studio version hasn't changed much with the exception of including a plugin with it, that if sold on its own would exceed the cost of the studio license, I see it as a win, because as far as I'm aware almost all the other functionality will come to the indie license.

@@takerefuge3d it just truly sucks getting sold on a product and then finding out you won’t get features unless you pay even more. As far as I’m aware I haven’t used plasticity for more than a year. I do like the features that are coming from it, but when basic ones aren’t present like a decent measurement system or edit/history, it’s wild to see users be awed by quite frankly less necessary features that one can’t access unless you pay more. I’m just ranting, please don’t take any of this personally! Cheers

Haha, I get how you're feeling, and don't worry I don't expect you're the only one, I would not consider a third party software to be a "feature" exactly, so much as an addition

I'd love to do this kind of video but beta features can changer so I'd more likely do a video when a stable release comes along!

Honestly I really like it, it's not a replacement for lofting and patching but it can really speed up certain situations I was playing around with it to see what I can come up with last night and xnurbs worked in situations where a loft or patch wouldn't, but also failed or behaved in a strange way once or twice in situations where a simple loft or patch worked like a charm, still just experimenting with it at this stage

Same question

Good question, you have to email the team about that one at the moment and they do it ad hoc, not my area of expertise but the discord has a whole area dedicated to licence questions.

You will pay $199 to upgrade, not $150. For some reason the guys at Plasticity think you should be penalized and extra $50 for not upgrading within 4 weeks of purchasing your Indie license. Make up your own mind why this is the case, but it seems totally unfair to me and never ever happens with any other software package I know of.

agreed what a joke

@@Argyll9846 thanks for the info, to say the truth, that doesn't give me good vibes.

For me it's the speed of use it doesn't fully replace patching and lofting but it solves some impossible seeming patches at times

I think it's a bit more than that you can email the team or wait for them to announce upgrade pathway

I'm in Australia so it's a local tax, unfortunately, it may not apply in every country.

@@takerefuge3d I made that comment after saw the same for me. Additional 29,80$ it's BS

That's not a plasticity thing but a government thing

@@takerefuge3d i have found that if you entered your VAT information, that 29$ will be reduced.
