Please reconsider Academic/Indie Licensing

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello,

I am interested to buy ZBrush, however, $800 is to much for me right now. And risky in same time. I don’t know if I will like the product or I will be able to make any money with it:)

So, I’ve been looking for academic license, and from almost all stores listen only a few sell academic license in Europe, for 430 Euro, and that’s about $500. Still unacceptable for an academic price, considering the full price is $795.

Please reconsider the price for learning.
Please make a price for Indie also (if you do less that $xxx per year, the price is …) like many other vendors do.
And please sell those licenses on Pixologic official site and not other sites.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on different forums from peoples who bought ZBrush with $100 at early version and how happy they are because they receive free updates. What about new users?

Thanks for reading!:slight_smile:

If you do actually(and sincerely) try it, you’ll surely fall in love with it. :wink:
As for making money, perhaps if you find the right niche. :cool:

There is no free trial so I can’t try it.

On different forums, the opinions are split, so I can’t say anything about liking or not until I don’t try it myself.

Also to be on topic, I’ve been watching the site last month for an end of the year major discount, nothing:(

You may want to keep watch on the forums in case anyone is looking to sell their license. They tend to keep their value but someone may be wanting a reasonable price for a quick sale
There is a license transfer cost https://support.pixologic.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/60/0/license-transfers

Thanks for suggestion, I will keep an eye on that:)

I also hope Pixologic staff will read this and make a decision about it, personally I think they are losing a big chunk of customers, but that’s just an opinion of course.
