Have you seen what's going on over at the Plant Factory?
-
One of the most exciting products of the year is drawing an open revolt in their comments section as price and usability features are announced. $1000.00 for the software and you can only sell the work you make with the software in the E-On Cornucopia Store for a 70%/30% cut... Ouch.
They are running a pre-order sale for 60% off.
Over here in SketchUp we have the TreeMaker Plugin by Pascal aka ppoublan and it's free... For now.

It's a disappointing turn of events, but I can't say I didn't see it coming.
I really cannot understand the marketing as potential customers told them what they wanted before release - moderate pricing and no usage restrictions. If E-On had listened the release would have been lauded across the CG community and they would have positioned Plant Factory as the go-to programme for high quality trees and plants.
I think they have shot themselves in the foot and put off a lot of potential customers.

I'd say!! I was waiting for this software for months (after they said it would be released) and now this!! What a complete waste of time.

Given that Xfrog software is now half price, it's also incredibly bad timing.

I agree... This was going the best procedural plant making software ever... This is what happens when Business people try to sell software.
But I use SketchUp almost entirely... So It's not like I could have used it much anyway.

Looks like they are doing some re-evaluation on those ideas.
