I checked out the website this morning for the first time in years, as I used to have a licence 12 years ago, and the studio version is close to €4k now.

it used to a third of that...what happened?

A lot has happened in 12 years, dude :)

It has changed quite a bit since 2005. I believe that's around the time of release 8? They are up to R18 and it is light years beyond where it was. That price is still competitive in the industry although i think 3DS is subscription based now. Once you buy the initial software package, you can pay $600 a year to stay current with any upgrades or major releases with no additional costs. This also will include cineversity account and better customer service. Download the trial version and take it for a spin.

Hi Phil,

rule of thumb : if the Cinema 4D Studio worth 4K Euro now, it cost half of this, 10 years ago, so less than 1.6K, 12 years ago.

Look at the feature set what R18 offers. I'd suggest to compare to the competitors price instead of the old price.

Thank you for the replies.

 

I am well embedded in Max and financially invested like all.

So the same price crossover would not be a move I could afford to make.

 

I thought it might be cheaper.
