![]() A major feature of many users pipeline is removed with the only option being to pay another $1k per year- just to keep using the software that was free!Īnd yes, I also do own VRay as well, which is entirely beside the point. I have over 15 years worth of models, scenes and projects that all use Mental Ray.No support of conversion of scenes that use Mental Ray that's all on the user to spend the time to figure out how to do it.No transition period is offered other than just staying with Max 2017.It's as if our subscriptions are like us paying for the privilege of getting abused! And of course they just calming roll this out as if it will be no problem whatsoever. I've been an Autodesk customer for a long time, ever since r2.5, and I have to say this is the biggest customer slap in the face I've ever seen by the company. Tell me: how is this in any way an "upgrade" or benefit to a customer? Who is going to pay for retraining all of us who've never used Arnold before, not to mention the huge interruption in professional workflow this represents! As a "bonus", network rendering using said new renderer will now cost extra. Summary: Max 2018 will ship with Arnold built in, instead of Mental Ray.
