I am currently running a trial of Vantage.
With all of the excitement around AI and realtime, I'm looking into software that is likely to be most streamline and cost effective to my business. (D5, Unreal or Vantage seem to be the most credible for high end rendering). Not sure if Envision should be considered -- i can't keep up.
I appreciate that Chaos ecosystem is rapidly growing and fast becoming the new Adobe (of the 3d world).... but please don't become Adobe - overpriced subscriptions, with unreliable updates and features.
That being said, based on my limited exploration of D5 and unreal, the cost to get on board the Vantage bandwagon is SIGNIFICANT!
If vantage proves to be a seamless and invaluable transition from 3dsmax / corona / realtime, then it is money well spent. However based on my initial impressions, it has a lot of bugs to overcome (ie: live-link not working, crashing files etc).
Until i can push past its shortcomings, I am yet to be convinced that adding vantage to my CHAOS ecosystem is beneficial?
I appreciate that if Vantage is used as the primary rendering software, i could understand the AU$81.90/month is a manageable cost.
However if corona remains my primary render solution, the additional $81 per month seems eyewatering. (considering D5 is $30/month, and unreal remains free)
Surely there must be some consideration or incentive for users wanting to stick with the chaos ecosystem?
I am currently subscribed to the corona premium plan. Perhaps you need to consider financial benefit to users who remain loyal to the ecosystem? - ie: give users the option to add additional products to their premium plan at a discounted rate?
Just a thought. Would be interested to get other users opinion.
