Thanks for the info.

i thought you were asking for the dollar prices...

I remember I cannot buy with dollar. Non-US people should buy it with Euro price.

I also always thought the dollar>euro conversion was a bit off we'll see what happens. I just bought a new camera for my archi photography. hope the update price will be reasonable.

the Euro price has already been announced...

These 10 rendernodes with the V3 floating licenses are issued independently and irrespectively of any current V2 node licenses you own - they come for free, as standard with the package. This means that IF you want more than 10 nodes, you can then also upgrade any V2 nodes that you have as well (in packs of 5) for 295€.

This is the official pricing, I hope it clarifies the situation.

I would not agree to that. I'd rather have a working product a few days later than a buggy one now!

I'm working with maxwell for more than 5 years and it's still not finished...from ver.1 till today there are bugs and problems. Now read again: "I'm working with..." ....

Kami, I am a software developer and architect and I can assure you that there is no such a thing as a bug-less software.
Truth is that publishing a software is every time a compromise between quality and prompt time to market. Naturally no one is willing to be a beta tester for a publisher, but we all are at a degree: in the long run, the user feedback is invaluable and it is only natural that most bugs flow as soon as software is subject to real-world use.

These and many other considerations would comply me to accept a less than perfect software that is working for most on my usage scenarios, provided that the maker is willing to finish it later, improving its quality and robustness.

Don't know if you have seen this: http://support.nextlimit.com/display/ma ... V3+preview.
I did't: more details on what we have to expect from Maxwell 3. It seems to me that workflow will be improved a lot.

Let's hope to see the real thing today.
