I guess our future conduct will prove the above more strongly than any words can. I don’t know if the above will put anyone’s mind at ease. In my opinion, there’s a pretty huge difference between a faceless multi-billion dollar company and a smaller, community-friendly one! These reactions are not unreasonable at all! There have been far too many bad examples recently! But when someone hears news about a company acquiring another company, I think it’s important to consider who is behind the acquisition. And we expected some of the reactions we’re currently seeing. Look, we understand that this kind of news always worries people. That includes 3.0, RedshiftRT and others. And, no, that doesn’t mean hiring C4D plugin developers only! In fact, pretty soon, another Maya developer will be joining the team! We intend on adding more core rendering people, too, so that work on the rendering feature set (which benefits all 3d apps, not just C4D) can proceed at a faster pace than before. This will effectively free up resources so we can focus on what we’re best at doing. Maxon has been doing “the other stuff” for way longer than us (and with great success) and have all the right people to help us with it. So, with Maxon behind us, we’ll be able to primarily focus on development and not “the other stuff”. It wasn’t because of some amazing business/sales/marketing skill. The success of Redshift so far has ben because of the product and the effort we put in it. We’re rendering programmers and we should be focusing on exactly that. But that won’t take away from the other 3d apps or our general feature set goals.īeyond the great C4D integration, to us (and the Redshift community), the acquisition means a couple of positive things: Of course, Maxon (with their technical resources) can and will help us make the C4D integration pretty much perfect. To further stress what’s already been said in the press release: There will be no changes in Redshift’s plugin support whatsoever! And, yes, that includes the upcoming Blender plugin! So any worries of “oh my god, are they going to kill Maya/3dsmax/whatever”… please do not worry about that because it’s not happening! This is Maxon, not some other company we know! We have the largest selection of Maya Mel Scripts and Maya Plugins on the internet. ![]() But we’ll see.įrom the RS forum: (you need a login tho, so here’s it for anyone without an account there)īy now, you must have read the press release here: (sorry if it takes a long time to respond or timeouts, I guess the news killed Maxon’s web server ) Highend3d has been one of the worlds largest and oldest communities for high end software such as Maya, 3ds max, Softimage, Shake, Nuke and more. I just don’t really like how every software I trust gets bought and software ownership is being thrown around like crazy. Favorite thing for me would be a crowdfunding campain just for Cycles. I am not too sure what to think of it tbh. Panos said in the RS forum that they will absolutely stay in development and are still developing for Blender. ![]()
