I wish they would release the tools as open source, instead of closing shop and taking it all with them down the drain.
Glad I do not have tools from them, I do not to use 3rdparty tools with licenses, I make the tools myself, or use open source tools – so that issues like this does not happen in production pipeline.
That’s really a shame, the ending is quite abrupt after they were quite active in the last years… I also hope they release their tools instead of killing so much knowledge!
Was somebody able to know why they are doing this? The EOL looks rather not explanatory.
I am not a client but I would expect them to at least send their lawful clients a non-encrypted or a non locked version so that once they have a need to move to another PC – they are not left in the dark.
the speed of shutting down the business looks like a legal issue – no serious company shuts down their acts as fast.
Why Autodesk has not bought it yet?
At least Caosgroup could have had it.
This is of course one downside of reliance upon plugins.
I live in fear of my favorite plugins vanishing in this way.
I still find it weird that they did it without telling the customers why. Sounds strange and kind of disrespectful for its clients.
autodesk can’t come up with stuff like what they had on their own. so at least they could have bought them and kept em on staff to come up with ideas to push things forward
