Same company acquired two very similar apps.
One required a $14/year subscription, the other $90/year
So they “carefully considered this decision” by delisting the cheaper one for the more expensive one. Boom, 500% cost increase
Don’t want to pay? Well, your files are hostage. Stop paying and lose your data.
Ps: remember the lie “subscription for software assures constant updates”?
The announcement serves as the final nail in the coffin for one of the iPad’s oldest and most popular sculpting apps, which hasn’t received any major updates since 2023.
Blender is free and open source. I don’t think there’s a mobile version but I’m not sure how big the market for that actually is
Well, can’t be a market if it’s not on there 😉
I don’t think a mobile version would be practical, they don’t have enough processing power. Blender needs a high end PC.
Current generation iPad Pros and Airs have the same processing power as Apple Silicon Macs. That’s more than enough for Blender. Even the base iPad and the iPad Mini likely have enough processing power - though I don’t think the base iPad has enough RAM.
