I'm talking about middleware vendors, as in game engines/frameworks/addons. True, however i was not refering to those type of competitors, since they are not in the same scope of products. Even if I was using a pirated or non commercial version of 3ds max there's no way that isn't benefical for everyone, including Autodesk. And I feel I have a firm grip of 3ds max and have given a ton back to the community as well as requested features, reported bugs etc. I for instance have no interest in using 3ds max or Unity 3d for any financial gain, yet I would have to pay out my ass for 3ds max if I wasn't still a student, and I'm not even a student, I just pay the student fee to get these privileges. would benefit a lot from having a free/cheap fully featured non-commercial version because they are so widely pirated anyway so it wouldn't make that much of a difference except let people actually use the software legally. I think apps like Photoshop, 3ds Max, Maya etc.
The only way to get a cheap version of those is to be a student and even then some of them are pretty costly. we do want to make a standalone free platform that people can run independent of CryEngine that will also be up to speed with the latest engine.Click to expand.Actually most apps I know of that are widely used do not do this. 'So far that's what we've been offering for free, and it's easy entry into the production environment. 'We have a very vivid community of users and modders and content creators, and usually that's a great way of unlocking the engine,' he said. The firm's CEO Cevat Yerli told Develop that Crytek already gives away a CryEngine 2 editor to the mod community, but explained that Crytek's expansion strategy stretches beyond. Now the CryEngine 3 group has revealed it wants to tap into this thriving market. "Unreal vendor Epic Games and Unity have both seen their user-bases mushroom overnight since launching versions of their own engines that, while tied to different royalty rates, are completely free to download and operate.
Develop reports that Crytek, makers of the Far Cry series, the Crysis series, and the game engines behind them, have plans to release a free-to-use version of CryENGINE 3, the software's latest iteration.
