(plugin) instant wall

@vacstudio:
Vali Architect is listed as "chuck vali" in the Plugins Index and offers Instant Roof. -
Its a very good plugin, but I'm not happy with the subscription. Plugins should be a one off purchase and if there are new features added, bug fixes and many updates then a subscription model would make sense, but to "rent" it out (ie one does not own the plugin under the current system) is a bit funny.
It also only works on one computer at a time, so if you work at home then you can't get the plugin working.
Having said that it is worth the asking price, but not sure I'd want to renew it yearly.
-
What is your hourly rate? For the time the plugins would save, it is certainly worth the annual price.
-
yes I'd rather pay for new versions. I don't like subscriptions. it seems a lot of companies are doing it now.
Thom Thom just updated his plugin Vertex tools and I thought it should have been a paid version update. but he's generous like that.
That being said I'm going to buy this right now.

He only takes paypal so now I have to wait... ARRRGGGHHHH!

It's great. I just had a bunch of railing to run, stairs too (although Chuck says it's not exactly a stair rail tool). If you have a close up, you may want to clean it up some but for a whole house model it saves a ton of time.
-
false alarm... you can pay with credit card. just have to follow a little deeper.

Seems a new piece of sofware!

I have purchased quite a lot of plugins from various developers and believe that they should be suitably rewarded for their efforts. I also do not like subscriptions. I prefer to pay the right price outright. However, I would still subscribe in an instant if the plugin didn't require an internet connection to operate. This plugin will not work when I am in locations that have no internet connection, which is fairly often.
I do not know why subscriptions are used as there is no requirement for me to continue a subscription when a newer plugin with more bells and whistles is released by another developer.
Hopefully the developer will release a version that does not require internet connection to operate.

I agree the subscription thing and requiring an internet connection feature is limiting, quite unlike his other plug-ins which are really good. Maybe he will tune up the access feature or at least explain why it needs to be this way. The price is well worth it - returns cost on first use.
I found that you can use on more than one computer, but you need to deactivate on the work computer and re-activate on the home computer. Bit of a pain but makes it sort of portable.
Hope we hear more from Chuck
