Of course not… but I had a severe attack of motion blur when I saw the upgrade price…

i know what you mean 
i get the same feeling everytime i do something in zbrush.
the price reflects how Mudbox is targeted towards the professionls and not the hobbyists. but i am dissapointed that they discontinued the basic version which was half the price.
I am, well intended, to use Mudbox commercially. But commercial users also have to see where the money goes. And per functionality… it’s not worth the upgrade price to us. And yes, the low end version was a nice gimmick. But commercially not viable for them I guess. I’d say they took the cost for the development, slapped a profit on it, then divided that through the number of expected sales and that’s the figure we are looking at. Nothing wrong with that, just not connected to the feature set of the app IMHO. But that’s only my way to look at it. I am sure there is someone out there for whom that app fit’s like a glove and who is happy as a clam using it. We like ZB, others turn green looking at the UI and complexity… We all have our fav’s.
