Hi guys,
I was wondering if there's any plan of introducing a personal edition of ornatrix with a cheaper price tag? I know ornatrix is great and we should pay for it of course, but if there was some sort of personal edition ( maybe with some limitation like unlimited render nodes off or something ) that would make it much more approachable to some people to start using it...?

 | Thank you for sharing Alex. Do you think a (monthly) rental model would also work for this purpose? Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |

| Hi Marsel,
Yes in fact I was just thinking right now that some other softwares have like different "versions" , for example you could have a 1.personal edition: no network render and only for NON COMMERCIAL work ( that could be failry cheap ie: $99) so students and artists would love to have a good solution for hair in max for their personal work, plus they could get experience with the plugin and recommend it to companyies/bosses/sups/etc 2.Freelance edition: FOR COMMERCIAL WORK and maybe limit the ammount of render machines you can use? ( ie $199 - $299 ) 3.Full edition: the whole thing. this are obviously just ideas but it could benefit everyone. People have acces to a cheaper version of ornatrix, start creating more stuff with it, so it gets more interest from other people and studios, gets more tutorials online from more people using it, gets more ideas and suggestions for future development etc etc... A monthly rental could also work i guess? I haven't had any experience with that yet...
I'm just thinking that some people may be in the same situation as myself, if i was to get ornatrix would be for my personal work, but 500 dollars may be a bit too much to spend ( don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the software doesn't worth it, far from that ) for using the plugin from time to time and not making any profit out of it other than my own personal satisfaction.On the other side, if the price was around 90 dollars with those limitations said earlier, i'd get it straight away, so maybe some other people would feel the same? Again these are just sugestions that may benefit everyone, so I hope you don't mind me posting them here... thanks! |

 | Hi. I think is very good idea. We just bough Ornatrix to our company but most of the time I'm working with Ornatrix at home. But on demo version I can't save my work so if you can sale me personal version for 99$ I'm sure you have benefits from this step. Also more tutorials in depth will help not only other users but also with sale your product. If we don't know how to use in proper way then we don't need some futures. There is few tutorials but I think not enough. Propobly I saw all of them even some for few hours but I'm still not sure pipeline, how to use with Vray, etc... I still need to play with settings to get what I need. Ornatrix it's a great product so please give as the oportunity to use this software explain how and not so expensive for home users!:) All the best. PO |

| Hi PO, Thank you for your input. Have you checked out our YouTube channel? http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpRi3ovyFM-2wLhel2eP8srgXBqfHkJ4C We have just a few days ago released a video about VRay and VRay-RT setup with Ornatrix. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |

| I would also love to see an "indie" or personal version. We own/use Ornatrix at work and it would be nice to play with it at home for personal projects. No network rendering would be fine for me as well. |

| You could also consider disabling the SDK and Alembic support for such a version. Just a thought. |

| Thank you for the input, Mitch. Disabling functionality doesn't sound appealing to me since users might need it specifically for their personal projects. We are still considering some other options. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |

 | Personal editions would be nice for a lot of users. But please, please, please don't be tempted to introduce the monthly/yearly subscription business model! We are just now having a conversation about that over at the V-Ray forum. John Brophy Fine Art www.jbrophy.com |
