Explode Segments can't deal with HyperNURBS. You need to "freeze" your subdivision modeling by converting to normal polygons.

In Topic: Adobe programs going Creative Cloud-only -- new AE is "AE CC"

I WISH these software releases were doubling in quality every two years. Every release has like one or two new features and a ton of bugs and annoying things that never get attention. Mainly talking about autodesk, but applies to Maxon and AE too.


Actually I wish we would get back to the good old "new version every 1.5 or 2 years" alltogether and see more rounded out packages. The death spiral of new versions and upgrades every year or now with CC every few months is getting more and more ridiculous. You don't even have the time to learn and integrate tools into your workflow anymore because tomorrow, yesterday's versions are already "legacy" and you start over adjusting your workflow when tools and features have been declared deprecated or "enworsihanced". And despite what people say about "agile" software development, burdening the users with constant updates, potentially risky install operations and fixing old bugs at the risk of introducing new bugs is not a good idea IMO.

Chris mentioned paying in advance and the sales guys told me you can't do that. Have to pay the monthly.


You can pay in advance for month-to-month plans since it basically is just based on giving you a monthly extension/ prepaid voucher kinda thing. More voucher codes, more months - sort of. I don't think it's available for annual plans or CC for Teams, though.

I don't want to get too far into the Spotify discussion as this is a thread to whine about The Cloud.


Fair enough. ;-)

Thats whats so concerning about this. That ultimately they could in fact go under or get bought out as a result. Notice Todd is getting mighty quiet.


Not really. Even if the ratio of legal vs. pirated was 1 : 10 or so, Adobe would still make a lot of dough... If anything, CC may make less people try pirated software because it makes less sense to risk virus infections with downloads from dark places, which might skew the ratio to 1:9 ;-). Beyond that: Those who don't want to pay anything simply won't pay anything ever, but it should not be any software vendor's top priority to come up with ever new ways to try and kill off illegal use. I'm sure Todd, the AE team or Adobe in general have enough other things to do and put some stema in CS8 and beyond...
