Re: Solid Angle aims to start selling licences of Arnold
That's extremely competitive. Same price tag as others renders, V-Ray included. And with the new V-Ray price and license, I think Arnold could take a good chunk of the market.
Re: Solid Angle aims to start selling licences of Arnold
That is about $1,350 US per license. I know most of you could figure this out yourself, I wanted to post it anyhow It is competitive. Which renders will fall and which will succeed ?
Re: Solid Angle aims to start selling licences of Arnold
That doesn't seem too bad for the ui version.
I wonder how much for render nodes though!

That's great news for Softimage, it's much better integrated than Vray.
Re: Solid Angle aims to start selling licences of Arnold
Good news for sure, unfortunately is a plugin present also in maya. A softimage exclusive would have the same effect it had Vray for max

The same. Solid Angle never made any difference between interactive and render license. Only difference is going to be that you don't need to buy a bundle of at least 5 or 10 licenes.
At least if they don't change the price model ;)

But if you do need 5 or 10 licenses for node rendering, it's going to cost €5000 to €10000!!!!!!!!!Helli wrote:azurecgi wrote:That doesn't seem too bad for the ui version.

ya, you are buying arnold standalone, not the plugins. you get access to all the plugins unlike like the competition. i think it is for the best, they have a simpler model which scales predictably. obviously it doesn't work as well for 1 person... this is why they have the current model having to be a company and purchase many licenses.
of course all of this can easily change if they decide to start selling plugins, but i don't see that happening.

Re: Solid Angle aims to start selling licences of Arnold
i don't see it that way... solid angle doesn't care about maya or softimage market they care about selling arnold licenses. the arnold integrations with maya and softimage can work very well with each other. we worked with a maya shop on elysium and arnold made that possible. i could see maya houses getting MORE use out of softimage because of the sitoa plugin. if they need to get an effect done in softimage and want to render in arnold you can get 100% matched results in sitoa or you can export back to arnold's scene file format and render in maya.Nizar wrote:Good news for sure, unfortunately is a plugin present also in maya.

i actually think that solid angle would have been laughed at and would lose customers without a maya plugin.
Re: Solid Angle aims to start selling licences of Arnold
What scaron said. Plus the fact that Arnold doesn't have a general big advantage against Vray, it is even considered inferior for interior scenes. So it isn't a sea change like when GI hit the industry.Good news for sure, unfortunately is a plugin present also in maya. A softimage exclusive would have the same effect it had Vray for max

Re: Solid Angle aims to start selling licences of Arnold
From what people who used it in production say, I'd say that it actually does have a big advantage over Vray. It scales very well with heavy scenes and it doesn't take a big hit as other render engines do when activating the multi-headed beast - dof, moblur, hair, diplacement, etc.Bullit wrote:What scaron said.

A sea change means first functional GI not just an advantage in one part of the render.
