Plasticity v2024.1 now available! 

I'm really worried Plasticity is going to out price its user base. The license increases were understandable but now with XNurbs being studio only (and only partial function on indie, someday, maybe?), I feel like the actual indie market (that would go for studio) will just not bother. This isn't a hate thread by the way, I think Plasticity is great, I just feel the price increases going forward is going to be hard for solos.

I'm sold. I think this update is the tipping point for me to invest in buying this software. This is like applying sub-d modeling skill to a CAD workflow and its awesome.

Thank you for making the 3D modeling experience so much fun! Creativity meets freedom.

Holy Moly! It was already the most super intuitive CAD I've used before this update.. but now it's another level! Thank you so much for pushing this tool forward 🥰😇

You rock!!! No joke, I was literally searching around last night to see when to expect the next update. Then today this! Looking forward to trying these new features!

Incredible! I can't wait to play with these. Thank you

AMAZING, I really love the new features and improvements. Thank you!!

Tried getting into plasticity for the 2nd time in a year or so and again, I found it so frustrating. There feels like a serious lack of fundamental features that CAD software demands you have but this doesn't. Having CAD in the name atm sounds disingenuous. I've heard the same from CAD people trying it out, but I hear the opposite from people who have come from blender. It definitely seems to be more for that crowd even though I WANT a cad software that's shaped to be a bit more artistic but it seems it's much more artistic than CAD atm. Ill keep trying and i'll be posting videos of my experience in real time with the software but man, I usually pick up cad software easily because it's fairly intuitive, this I found myself spending 15 minutes on one simple task if I even got to do what I was looking to do at all. :s

Sorry but it seems to be a scam, 9 months ago I paid the license because you said that I would be able to acces to the rest of 1.xxx versions, and then you jumped from 1.4 to "v2024.1". Reconsider your strange decision and let us update to this new version, because In my country its no so easy to pay "200" dollars for an update because you decided to play with your offer promise.

Nick, you are a fucking MONSTER at turning out these updates. Great work man! I recommend Plasticity to every person that is into 3D that I meet. So happy to have purchased a copy.

Please explain the license again and which tools are in studio vs indie.

Lol the discord noises kept making me alt-tab XD

I believe it was me who originally posted the link to the nx feature/video :D :D cheers

OUTSTANDING software Nick! Early adopter of Plasticity and loving the continuous improvements and surfacing tools. Plasticity + Blender is a formidable team. Mahalo!

FULL UI Customization and I would buy this for sure! Time management is key. Awesome progress to NX Tech. xNurbs is also amazing! Keep up!

Plasticity is like at the oposite side of Alias and Fusion in terms of being fun to use! Why cant these expensive programs be this user friendly, i understand that they do a lot more but man its a shame. Props to the developers, using it is such a joy, almost effortless but still gives great results.

I am a plasticity supported in June 23, and I personally think that the current buyout system has a big problem, it is better to change to monthly payment and annual payment, and now the 2.0 version has been updated, resulting in many 1.4 users who bought the studio version before can't use it.

OMG, what a thing of beauty this upgrade is! I cannot wait to get it installed and use it.

It would be nice to have Fillet as a non-destructive modifier to preserve the editing possibilities. If performance is an issue, the modifier doesn't need to be interactive with a changes, just the toggle option would be enough.

so much fun using plasticity. Would be nice to have the option of importing SVG. for regular license. I feel this is the feature that everybody would use. For exemple transfering logo from illustrator

Can’t wait! Plasticity is the best program I’ve used in a long time

Looks awesome. Gonna scrape together the loot for the studio version this time, methinks.

I'm digging the CV editor, which is clutch for things like complex shapes

I've been on the fence since launch but I think you just sold me with this update. Phenomenal!

Keep up the amazing work! Please bring in parametric history too. Absolute game changer when that comes along. You will completely own the market by that point.

Why is it asking me to renew my license for this version, if when I bought it, it said 12 month updates?

If plasticity is going to be this destructive with its edits it needs non-volatile undo history stored in the .plasticity file. Having undo history just stored in ram is pretty brutal.

My God! YEAAAH!!! I enjoyed using Plasticity 0.1 but i really missed to have a T-Splines like functionality like in Fusion 360. Here it is.... Now there is no reason to use other CAD for me for hard surface modelling... Definetely sold on version 2... Happy to have supported the development by purchasing 0.1 as well. Thanks! Amazing!

Raise Degree ... is going to change my work flow! Thank you Nick!

the dependent offset function is amazing!

Plasticity already saved me few times, I am happy to buy it. Very good work.

This brings me back to 1996, CV editing in Alias Power Animator. I loved it then, and now we can do it on steroids in Plasticity, thanks Nick!!

I still remember the first days of plasticity , nice !

I have over 20,000hrs of seat time in Siemens NX and can confirm that it is indeed the most powerful CAD software ever created. If people knew what the NX Xform tool was really capable of their minds would be blown. This seems like NX in history-free mode but with a nice clean approach! Looks pretty awesome so far! Knowing it runs the super robust parasolid kernel is a huge benefit. My question @nickkallen1 is; how on earth are you licensing the parasolid kernel AND selling this software for so cheap???? NX with the advanced surfacing tools is at least 15K. Obviously it has a TON more functionality but still. Is this some offshoot experiment by Siemens or something? Seems too good to be true. Will there ever be an associative bridge to NX?

This is Incredible!!! Thank you so much to keep evolving and improving this amazing tool!

bro you are the best, plasticity is fabulous, every new functionalities comes always at the right time for my needs

Excited to dive in into this new release 🔥

This program really correlates well with its name! Love it!!

I think Siemens would pay for Nick's skills. In just a few months he created a super powerful 3d modeler. Now it's time to add a beautiful UI.

Out of all CAD apps I have seen (I have a 3D background, especially C4D) I find Plasticity the most sympathic, as the usual CAD workflow feels unnatural to me. But what bothers me with your software is the apperent inability to change a surface buy manipulating the curves it was created from. Please correct me if I‘m wrong, but as I understand, if I am not happy with a surface and want to tweak it (let‘s say make it a litte more convex), I have to delete it, change the curves and rebuild it? That seems very inefficient and frustrating. Are you planning to intruduce a feature that allows that kind of non-destructive workflow?

Awesome update Nick, I tried following along modeling and yeah it's crazy cool how easy and fast. Great Work buddy!

This update is madness!!! 🔥🔥🔥🚒

love it but I go to get it and it says I am no longer eligible for the upgrade. Not happy, guess I will have to go back to blender and NOT pay yet another 100 bucks to use it. NOT HAPPY

HOLY F@#$! Glad you chose Parasolid. I have used NX before and currently use Siemens Solid Edge. I love the direct editiing capability in SE and it seems you've implemented the Parasolid capabilities similarly. Now with this surfacing CV manipulation, Plasticity is positively blowing doors. (not to mention Xnurbs!) I have to wonder though, how long until other CAD companies come knocking to snap up what you're doing, it is likely too disruptive for them. I hope Plasticity has a long life as an independent company!

How about a Tool for creating DIN metric screws/screwholes? rly missing something like that in my Tests.

Looks incredible. Thanks for all your hard work.

Applause! Nice features have been added! Thank you very much!👏🙂

That remove fillet from shell.....mind blown! That is huge! So glad to have discovered that feature! Can't tell you the number of times I put myself in such a bind because I got too eager to start filleting my models too early in the development and then not being able to make necessary changes because edges have been fillet, and I just have to go with it. Thank you for showing this!

You came a long way since i first tried the beta ... lets see how plasticity can complement Alias, which is my main tool ... awesome !

some good new features. but ! if It can snap imported obj files（now id “empty” objects）, which attracts me the most.

Hey there, just wanted to say the workflow in Plasticy is absolutely brilliant! I'm loving using it for my CAD projects. I had a few ideas that I thought could potentially make it even better: It would be super helpful to be able to adjust the transparency/opacity of imported images. This would make it much easier to trace things when needed. The imprint function is genius, I use it constantly now. I was wondering, is there any way to reverse this? Like taking a curved surface and unrolling it to a flat pattern? That would be game-changing for creating flat patterns for parts that need to be bent into shape later. Have you considered adding a gallery where users can share models they've made in Plasticy? I think building a community around it would be a great way to get more people using it and seeing how powerful it is. Keep up the amazing work, you're going to give Autodesk a real run for their money! Just some thoughts, but seriously, thank you for creating such an awesome CAD program. It's an absolute joy to use. Looking forward to seeing where you take it from here!

Just thankyou! Amazing update as always. Keep this great work, congrats!!!

This looks crazy good! Now im thinking to upgrade my version

CV editing very powerful for designers experimenting shape and forms. NK is forcing me to buy Plasticity - that's outrageous!

How do I update from a previous paid version?

Wow. So excited to try out the new festures! Amazing work.

Best software ever. But if plasticity improve the obj export so the ngon lines are connected along bevels, now that would be a game changer

Fantastic update! From the first segment of the video though it’s unclear how custom matcaps are imported. Could someone explain how it’s done? We could kinda hack this feature in 1.x, but I’m assuming there’s a proper way now.

Damn there are some major improvements since I last checked this program out. That said devs went full Tim Cook with the pricing...

Excellent work, Nick!! Thank you!!!

Amazing you don't have to break the sheets to edit cv points, as in Rhino you had to unjoin and join it again. Rhino still has some minor edge over fillet editing, but for a general modeler, who wants to add NURBS to their workflow Plasticity is definitely the best as of today. Plasticity is also a faster modeler, compared to Rhino

Is there a list of commands? The one I can find online is horribly out of date.

Congrats Nick! I already renew :) Keep up the great work.

CV editing is so tasty!

Wohoo!!! Nick, you rock!!! 🥰😍🤩

Oh my God thats so cool Nick! Awesome stuff!

I'm running about like a 5 year old on Christmas morning.

Thank you for this great software and the videos for deeper understanding. Can you explain the small Keypresswindow left down corner? Is it a buildin feature?

ah unlucky me has bought it in april, so i need ot pay the upgrade fee. Though im gonna wait a bit to see what else might come :) Great job as always!

Is there a plan to do a timeline like some cad packages have? I feel like it would be so beneficial for a software like this

thank you for the release!! we need to renew the license to get the update ?

Could you show in a clip how you extrude the surfaces of an imported dxf file? A complex logo or so, converted into a path and then extruded and worked with in Plasticity.

Sweet, need to get on the next upgrade!

How to add material on different surfaces, was trying earlier and realize that was not easy at all?

This is amazing. Thank you so much for your hard work

It`s great to see these awesome updates! Keep up that good work.

Amazing! I just upgraded and bought the studio license to support you, but after paying and trying to emulate what you did here, my first experience was not great. Not because of this tool, but because the naming and difficulty to remember how to use this new tool. First you call it CV edit, but I didn't find such tool within Plasticity ore on the documentation on the web. Then, I went to the official Plasticity YT channel, but found no information there either. I had to find my YT history to find this video and replay it to find how to do it and to find that the tool is called "Raise Degree". I find it extremely unintuitive and difficult to remember. Don't get my wrong, it works great after testing and it's quite amazing, but I wish Plasticity would be more intuitive or user friendly. Like, more menus and icons to find the tools and less a huge list of complex names all hidden in a huge list under F key

I suppose I can't update to this one as an early Indie 0.1 buyer, right? 😢

The discord notifications make me laugh. Beautiful program! I can't wait to try this out myself!

Just wow. Bought the tool. You are building an amazing tool.

amazing...simply amazing software...thank you!

Just got studio!!! ❤🎉 hope I get some 2.x with it too 😂

hope you're gonna make maya bridge

I like how he quickly mentioned that x nurbs was only available for Studio owners.... big fail..

Sorry, got this mixed up for plastiq, a credit card transaction processor.

mental (p.s. xnurbs are fire)

How do we update our existing seat of Plasticity?

At least you didn't waste my time by saying no Linux support upfront.

Hey I'm on linux, cant stand windows or adobe.... xnurbs is only saving me a little more clicks if my design work is for film/games right?

request - since you are adding more features and the amount of easy accessible hotkeys (zxcv etc) is limited, it would be nice to have customizable pie menus like in blender, where 1 key can have up to 8 available actions. hotkey editor is fine as it is no need to overcomplicate there.

Thank you for this video. Very promising. I'm a user of Version 1.4.3. I visited your website to see if there's a way to upgrade to the 2024.1 Version. Unfortunately you have nowhere placed an information, which version is currently available. There is a "download" button. But it just download "a version", but no one knows which one, because the file has no versioning infos, too. Additionally you have no infos about this update here (2024.1) on your official website. Some users who are visting your website doesn't even know there is an update... Or do I miss some infos there? Thank you! Still great work, you're doning in plasticity.

Great uptate! Very powerfull tools! Thank you for your work!

XNurbs kick arse.

Seeing this video and the new features made my decision to upgrade easy. (to do it, btw)

PLEAAASE release an ubuntu version! I would really like to try it out but cannot since I'm on ubuntu :D

Is CV editing included with the Indie License?

So I have a Indie 1.0 License (Maintenance until says NONE, lol?) and I can't get this update? I only have it since September, I thought I get at least 12 months of updates, no?

Nick, how do, or is it possible to install custom fonts in plasticity? Thanks

Will the windows only features ever come to linux or does is stay windows only?

Wake up, everyone, there is a fee for the new features, even if you buy version 1.0 and pay extra now
