Thanks to everyone for the feedback here. We’ve got a few pages of notes and your feedback will absolutely change the path of Carbide Create.
Carbide Create Pro is going to add 3D modeling similar to what Vectric Aspire has. This is a major undertaking and we’re currently at a point that it’s almost ready to share in the “Unstable” channel.
Adding all of this functionality has forced us to reevaluate a lot of the decisions that we made when CC was originally started and we’ve had to make some big internal changes. Even if Pro is not something you’re interested, I think you’ll benefit from a lot of this internal work on Carbide Create.
We’re also going to start on a new tool library in the near future, which should hit on a lot of requests here.
Regarding pricing, we’ve been leaning toward a subscription model with the price being “very reasonable”. We considered offering a permanent license as well but we haven’t figure out how we’d manage updates over time (how long should you get updates, how much should updates cost for an extended period of time?). We’re open to your feedback around pricing.
