I mean you could always switch to Bentley. AFAICT, they’re actually more Byzantine in their licensing structure, though. They bought a small analysis program company I used and their support was so terrible I gave up and learned a whole new FEM program rather than continue.
I’ve been through the donut tutorial. Is there a CAD sketching / exact dimension /parametric modeling interface buried somewhere in Blender?
I agree it's a silly breakpoint, but they have to draw the line somewhere, and I'm sure they feel that a 70/30 split is completely reasonable. Besides, a Fusion license is practically coins-in-the-couch compared to their architectural licensing fees. I'm sure they feel like they're doing us a favor by pricing Fusion so low.
I don't; at least no in our lifetimes (I'll call that 50 years). I've been an engineer in the building industry for 25 of my 35 professional years, and I've watched multiple "disruptive" technologies progress and mature. 3D printing may very well become a useful tool for complex building geometry in certain niche markets but it will not take over any substantial part of the building industry during the life of any adult today. And I say that as someone who has helped new technologies to market, done design for nearly every (non-3d printed) material around (cordwood, straw, timbercrete - hell, I had a guy call me who wanted to build a garage out of 400 surplus 19" aluminum server racks he got at an auction).
3D printed walls will go right up there with geodesic domes, hyperbolic parabaloid concrete, and (as much as I hate to say it) structural insulated panels. It's not that there is anything wrong with it, or the other methods I mention, it will simply not achieve mass adoption due to a combination of appearance and cost competitiveness of the finished product.
If all of your relationships end because of animosity between you and your partner, it may not be that your partners are the difficult ones.
Hold the IP, harvest cash - by license or court, eliminate running costs. Presuming Weta has not open sourced all of their processes, they're basically now a patent troll for anything previously developed.
And the revived’s first words are “Dry land is real!”
Any chance there’s a link to the content that isn’t an absolute cancer of a website? Id like to repost, but…yikes.
Business Insider: While the agency has long used radio waves to communicate in space, this technology is believed to provide humans with the ability to stream video calls on Mars.
LOL - sure, why not? Humans do so well with hundreds of milliseconds of lag in terrestrial telecons. Why wouldn’t we want video call streaming with half an hour of lag?
Wow, this has owner-designed written all over it.
No, no - they're not raising the price; they're rebalancing it to reflect the value it delivers!!1!
And since they've reduced the free version functionality significantly, I believe I'm due a substantial rebate.
