Hi there,
I am wondering if anyone has an alternative to the Cl3ver plugin for creating 3D presentations?
The concept is pretty straight-forward and it is a cool tool (despite some flaws, like it being finnicky and absolutely no ‘Undo’ - that is correct, no undo!). Although it would swallow up some man hours trying to find workarounds to achieve my goal, I was willing to do this until…
The hidden pricing! “$50 a month” is what is advertised. What they don’t tell you is that this only allows you a User License, meaning the ability to dump hours into editing a presentation but no means of publishing it.
Then comes the publishing - $199 a month. So now we have a $250 a month SaaS that seemed a bit steep at $50 when you consider the SaaS costs of Adobe Creative Suite, but this extension costs more than 3DS Max and Maya… COMBINED!
After putting work hours into experimenting with the software only to find out it is extremely cost-prohibitive for anyone who wouldn’t be using this tool for at least 50% of their revenue generation, it is safe to say I am more than a little pissed off and would welcome any alternatives.
If none currently exist, it is only a matter of time before another does and I can only hope that they have a more transparent and upfront pricing model.
Thanks in advance.
