      of course artisan should be free..if a more advanced thing is for free then a basic version shouldn't come at a price...

        Of course only the developer decides what should be free - We, the fellow users can only be grateful. But of course You can make better plugin than Artisan and give it to us for free 🀣

          Enjoy it while you can, Sculptris won't be free very much longer -- oh, and the reason it is free is because it is a Beta.

          BTW, you have no right to determine the value of somebody else's hard work -- if you think it should be free then make your own Artisian and release it for free... yeah, I didn't think so.

          Best,

            Correct me if I'm wrong but Isn't Artisan a plug-in for SU and Sculptris a stand alone program? If so we are talking about two different worlds.

              I know Sketchucation prides itself as a friendly place, but you can only push it so far.

                downloaded Sculptris. It is much more advanced than artisan and moreover it's free . Wonder why artisan is $39 πŸ˜’

                Although this is a completely silly argument let me just say this:

                A lot more work goes into commercial plugins than you realize. I have worked on Artisan for over two years (in my spare time), plus I continue to offer customer support via email, in addition to developing further documentation and detailed video tutorials. Commercial plugins undergo an extensive testing period to iron out as many bugs as possible in order to provide the best user experience possible. I hope to release free updates to fix any bugs that were not caught during testing and also maybe even add couple more features.

                Sculptris is an amazing app that was created by a very talented programmer in six months. However, don't expect to get timely customer support from the developer (if any at all) or see any future updates. It's not likely to happen. I'm sure he had is reasons for offering it for free and one of them was probably that he would have had to spend about three times the effort on the app if he would have decided to sell it. I have released both free and commercial plugins, and let me tell you that it takes WAY more time and effort to release a commercial plugin due to the extra testing, polishing, and tweaking that goes into it. However, from the feedback I've received, I think most Artisan customers would tell you that it is worth that extra effort.

                              There are many programs and SU plugins I would like to have but cannot afford. Am I whining? No. I even purchased Tavi's stereo plugin from Smustard when I had the money on my credit card (I am generally in a negative balance πŸ˜’ ).

                              Could I have asked him for it? After all we are "colleagues" here. Probably yes.
                              Would I have been a cheap piece of shit if I had done so? Obviously yes.

                              When SDS1 was being tested here on SCF (yes, we have beta forums sometimes) and I was an admin but not in the Beta team, could I have still downloaded it? Yes, I could've after all I can set any permissions for anyone here. Did I? Of course not - but purchased it from Smustard (well, at the time it was on sale last year or so but didpurchase).

                              I am also from one of the poorer countries of the EU. Bear it with pride, dude and work harder to be a bit more well-off. Many of us do that here.
