In contrast, Render Legion’s own ‘Fair Saas’ model promises ‘true’ per-month pricing, no minimum contract terms, and that free versions of the software capable of opening project files will always be available.ĭespite its criticisms of perpetual licences, Render Legion is also providing its own box licence on the grounds that “we also understand that some people just don’t want SaaS at any cost”. Hotový identifies box licences as risky to developers (“one bad update … could be fatal”) and restrictive for end users, since updates are only put out annually, and at significant cost.Īnd in what sounds like a direct dig at Adobe’s Creative Cloud, Hotový criticises SaaS models for advertisting per-month prices for annual subscription schemes, the charges that can result for cancelling before the end of a subscription plan, and users’ inability to open and export project files once a subscription ends. In an interesting blog post, Render Legion partner Adam Hotový discusses traditional perpetual software licences (or ‘box licences’) and Software as a Service (SaaS) licences, before concluding: “They both suck.” Render Legion has announced commercial pricing and an approximate release date for the much-anticipated Corona Renderer for 3ds Max, pioneering a new payment model it calls ‘Fair SaaS’.Ĭurrently available in free alpha, Corona is a fast, production-capable CPU-based biased/unbiased renderer.
