that's the beauty of it, they won't. they'll hold it hostage and make you rent it until someone makes a better program, which they will also buy and rent out to goyim.

What good new features to Zbrush has Maxon brought to the table?

Ability to have your sculpt to be automatically uploaded to Maxxon servers in background so they could train a neural network on them.

"Software as a service" is just too delicious for companies. It's like the best thing since sliced bread for them
>customers tied to them
>customers less likely to switch on a whim
>customers easier to control
>customers easier to monitor (have to be logged in or software won't work)
>steady inflow of monies
This model basically only has upsides to companies and the cattle doesn't mind anyway and just pays up

What I can't figure out is what happened at Pixologic that made them sell to Maxon in the first place. I mean ZB was their flagship product and so many industries make use of it, so it' can't be that they lacked a shit ton of funding.

The point of starting a business isn't to run a business. The point is to cash out, invest and live easy on dividends.

Paul Babb Steps Away From Maxon
If you've attended any Maxon event in the past two decades, the name Paul Babb likely rings familiar. As the Head of Global Marketing, Paul played a pivotal role in propelling Cinema 4D into the limelight, especially with the introduction of the Mograph Module. He consistently prioritized artists, working to elevate their presence in an industry where exploitation often prevails. Paul's departure leaves a void, and his commitment to championing artists will be sorely missed. Wishing you happy trails, Babbster!

Serious question. In the US, if you absolutely need industry standard subscription based software for your job and you pay for it, couldn't you get tax breaks for it if you declare it as a business expense?

Blender needs to start polishing what it has and not just throwing shit to see if sticks, fix texturing and layers, fix sculpting, work on geo nodes, polish the hair grooming.
