I wish this means they do an affordable version of Fusion, or at least a modular one, where we can pay for the modules we need, I don’t understand why compositing packages don’t pick that business model, IMO this could lead to a lot more people using their package.
Cheers.
I just wish Fusion get pushed more. I think its a very VERY valid solution against Nuke that costs 3x more.
does anyone happen to know the european pricing on eyeon fusion 7?
It is about 1850 EUR (excl. VAT)
thanks christian, i appreciate the information very much.
not sure what the licensing scheme is, with yearly subs or not but that does not seem that excessive of a price.
1850 EUR (excl. VAT) is with 1 year subscription. After that, subscription alone is about 380 EUR (excl. VAT) for one year.
that is exactly what i was wondering. thank you.
In fact no, it’s not excessive, I think I was thinking in older prices, 1850 it’s not too bad.
Cheers
Fusion isn’t expansive as Nuke or NukeX…it pays 3/5 years of bad marketing and absent interest for user voice.
This acquisition could bring big benefits if BM dissects Eyeon technology in favor of its products and viceversa.
I hope in a long BM fusion/generation life (eyeon policy rast in peace).
