Is this worth it?

Post by SpiritWebb »

I was looking at Messiah Studio and was curious if this is worth it:

$10. How can it not be worth it?

The question is whether you want the $10 or $40 one. :lol:

There is no indication of the date the offer ends on the page. I remember it being just at 50% on the 9th two/three days ago, so it's definitely moving.

If the bar doesn't reach the end, you'll get a refund, so there's nothing to loose.

For everyone out there who know's a relative or friend who's into CG modelling or animation, this would be a good investment for christmas presents. I'm sure they would appreciate it. For $10, you don't have much to loose :D

By the way, if this ends up to be a marketing strategy where they eventually cancel the deal but refund everyone's money and use the hype as free advertising, I think a lot of people will be angry.

By my estimates, there should be a day or two left till it reaches the goal and the offer ends. You should still have time if you hurry.

Some food for though - How come this year, the cost of all our development software is getting discounted: Bigworld, Hero engine, etc?

It'll be a busy year for us. :D

I really want to get this, but if I'm going to get it I'd go all out and get the multi-core 64-bit version..but I can't justify spending $40 on a piece of software I havn't seen in action yet, especially when moneys tight after dropping so much for my trip to cali...

There is an evaluation version of Messiah, but with only a day or so to go, there wouldn't be much time to get a feel of the workflow.

Your best option would be to check out some reviews and videos of Messiah.

Sorry for the double post, but just a status update:

The goal has finally been reached! Linsences are going to be distributed in the next three days.

If you still haven't bought it, but want to, the offer was extended and ends in four and a half hours time:

$10 for the basic; $40 the pro. Get ready before it goes! :D

That's awesome. I however did not. A friend bought it and he said he probably would never use it, so I may take it off his hands!! :) He bought it because of how expensive it normal is...lol

My rational was that for $10, it would a be a great gift for some people I know. :)
