        This is excerpt of an email from a friend of mine who uses Lightwave extensively.

        "Awesome! ...Subdivision modeling is very powerful. That's pretty much the only type of modeling I do in LightWave nowadays. Do you know if this is Catmull-Clark subdivision? The results look like it might be. ....This is definitely a great addition to SketchUp. It would be awesome if you could import LW sub-d meshes into SketchUp and vise-versa."

              I noticed the crease tool only displays when you mouse over the edges in the videos. Is there a way to display the state of all creased/uncreased edges? I imagine once you start doing that to a lot of edges it will get hard to remember what is in what state.

                    Ah....that is the question...

                    Well, I have avoided this issue up to now because nothing was official and I had not 100% decided the plugin would be free or commercial.

                    However, I can now say that the plugin will be commercially released through Smustard. I am sorry to disappoint those of you expecting the plugin to be free. I have been working extremely hard on this plugin for a long time now and I am excited to see the impact that it will have on SketchUp and the SketchUp community.

                    I believe the plugin to be of very high quality and will be extremely valuable to everyone who models with our beloved SketchUp.

                    I am targeting a May 1st release date (no promises though πŸ˜‰ ). As for price? I don't know yet but you can expect it to be comparable to the other plugins offerred on the Smustard website.

                    It's been great to see all of the excitement that the plugin development has created. Hopefully, that will continue even after this announcement.

                    Thanks,
                    Dale

                        I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be free... but I know how hard you've worked very hard on this and I'm sure I speak for everyone on the forum when I say I'll be willing to pay whatever the cost for an incredible plugin like this! πŸ˜„

                              If its no more than say... 10-15 bucks I can see myself willingly buying it just to play around with. Anything over that and it would almost be a waste for me to get. I agree that it is a lot of work, and you no doubt deserve to be paid for it, but perhaps you could make a slimmed down version that only does two iterations of subdivision and you dont get creased edges for free?

                                    Cool. Nice to see people make a buck with something they're both good at and like to do. We're a bit of a spoilt lot, aren't we, with that wealth of free Rubies out there? πŸ˜„

                                    (Dale, does this one bevel edges? And if not, would you please consider developing one that does, someday? Lots of SU users, including myself, would pay good money for a decent bevelling tool.)

                                      I'll happily pay for this! personally i think it gives excellent value for money, especially when you consider the amount of work involved.

                                          There are currently 37 pay scripts on Smustard, total value $328, average value $8.86, most expensive $20, most inexpensive $3. If I think of what this script is reported to do I'd reckon it would be in the $15-$20 range.

                                            I think a bit different on this topic. I would hope the SubD plugin is priced high enough to make the developer a bit of money-- enough so he continues to create quality plugins. While this plugin won't turn SU into a SubD modeler like Modo or Silo3D, it does allow SU users to easily create shapes which until now were difficult if not impossible to make.

                                            I encourage plugin developers to create professional packaged solutions, with tutorials and charge a fair price for them. Once they start making decent money on them, there certainly will be even more powerful and professional plugins, adding never before seen capabilities to SU.

                                            I would think a $25-40 range would be more inline with the various capabilities of this particular plugin. Just my 2 cents.
