I am an independent designer/artist.
The Enterprise license is too much for small practice.
The Pay-Per-Input is OK in term of price however with this system you tend to do use less image in lower quality and overall doing less scans and less experimenting.
The Steam RC license was good, too bad it is discontinued.
Is there any plan for an Indie license or Steam version to be back ?
Hi plesk8ter 1,
there are no plans to get back Steam license for now.
There is 30% price off of ENT license until 15th December (https://www.capturingreality.com/Products)
About the PPI, it was also reduced, so for example 300 drone photo dataset cost only 4$ to license. You can also calculate the price of a dataset before processing (https://www.capturingreality.com/RealityCapture-PPI) or there is a tutorial, how to optimize your dataset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4BAPM21au8
Also, dataset is licensed forever and you can create different project with it.
