Question

MakeVR kickstarter live

I was really excited for this until I saw the prices. Ouch. A bit too much for me as I would only be using it for fun.

I know they want to use it to sell STEM systems aswell but I was only interested in the Rift compatibility tbh.

Oh well!

    Here's the link to the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/89577853/makevr-3d-modeling-and-printing-for-everyone

    I backed it. Personally I think it's really good value for money. Some professional modeling/animation suites are in the $1000s. This is unique, and I like the social media integration. Sounds like a lot of fun to work with.

    I don't disagree with the price for professional usage, but marketing/hype in the build-up to the kickstarter made me think it was aimed at both ends of the spectrum. So I just assumed it would have been at a more accessible price point.

    My fault for assuming things I suppose! Just a bit gutted I won't be able to try it out. Fingers crossed for a trial/demo....
