Zbrush went sub? I did not know that....interesting :)

They added a subscription option. You can still buy a full license.

And Adobe bought Substance/Allegorithmic, so I don't know how much longer their 'rent-to-own' licensing model will be in effect. Of course they claim nothing will change, but this is Adobe we're talking about now so who knows. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they incorporate it into the CC package and remove the allegorithmic site entirely.

Well, it's nice Pixologic gave ppl options :). As for Adobe, I have no faith in them whatsoever. I think you'll be able to get Substance as part of CC and no other way. LOL. I do have 3D Coat, so painting and what not aren't as much of a problem for me. I know Zbrush is similar to 3DC but Zbrush has GoZ which I know makes things a boatload easier getting things in and out of other software. I might take a gander at the sub rates and see if I can swing it ;). Thanks for the info!

I think it's around $40/month. Less if you go longer. And yep, on Adobe. Tho I do have a CC subscription, because I just got tired of fighting with CS4, and they offered me the full suite for $29/month so yay, tho I'm sure i'll never use 90% of it. I don't have anything against Adobe tho, other than the subscription only model. Their software has always worked pretty well for me and I've never had any issues with their support team on the rare occasion I've even had to contact them. For now allegorithmic is still functioning and looks like it always has. Plus I get credits to download from substance source every month. Adobe has been quietly edging into the 3D market for a while now, and them buying substance is actually a pretty huge step. They also own mixamo and have a 3D modeling app that is win10 only. (I'm still on 7 until my machine dies). Will be interesting to see what other big 3D names they buy up in the near future.
