I'm just looking for some general opinions on indie vs studio at this given time because my license is coming up for the 12 month maintenance term. I do mostly hard surface models with generally "squarish" forms and but the ocassional round and curvy forms also like helmets, fenders, knives/swords, battery banks, etc. Plasticity does fantastic at these and I'm pretty happy with patch and loft in most cases. There have been a couple of times I really had to see and examine what I was trying to get and why the curves and patch/loft were fighting me. But overall, I've always been able to create an object that I wanted in Plasticity. Bringing that model into Blender for texturing and renderding can also be surprisingly painless under certain conditions. If you model in pieces in Plasticity with materials and textures downstream and only need procedural materials, There's hardly ever any problems if you export the model in Plasticity as obj with sufficient detail (usually I just set it to 1 but if I have a lot of Plasticity assets in one scene I sometimes have to dial it back a bit) and smooth shade and it's pretty easy. But the reason for my questions in regards to indie vs studio is in particular the polyspline - blender bridge flow and xnurbs contributing to better polygon flow on export. With my indie license, an obj export from Plasticity into Blender looks precise with plain mats and smooth shading but is really problematic if you're trying to do any kind of UV work in Blender. Trying to use the select an edge loop in that model can sometimes work and sometimes not. With such a dense mesh, I feel the Blender just can't figure out the line that you are trying to batch select and a lot of times I just have to go in and select manually. Even picking one at one end and then trying to "ctrl" click the other end hardly ever works. So, I'm just curious if the Studio license would help me with these type of scenarios. I've seen some fantastic models made with Indie and the price jump difference between the two is considerable. So I'm just looking for advice from those that have used both or from those that have one or the other and swear by their choice.

Hey nikita, I saw this product and I would like to model it but I can't find the entry point. Perhaps something for your next Tutorial?

Which Plasticity 3D Modeling Course do you want?

I need to know how I can have a better, more powerful zoom; the actual zoom doesn't zoom in enough. When I watch a tutorial, I can see they can zoom in way more than I can. The version I have is 26.1.3. Thank you in advance.

Veeeeery tricky and advanced.. A lot of you are interested, but most are beginners, and this will be very challenging. I will practice a lot to find the best, and easier way to model (Currently its very messy). But still not sure, because it's really challenging and not sure if everyone want/can follow along. What do you think=
