Surely not more than $150 for 7 2k assets? Lightstage is expensive because its for custom assets. A scan of a single person for a single project. Scanning an asset for use across many different projects would spread the cost.

Heres the thing though. They do have someone with that job. His name is Eric and he is on polycount all the time. So thats not why they wont allow facebook comments. Its because they get a lot of negative feedback.

Because $150 for 7 2k assets is crazytown.

yeah I saw those on twitter too. They really do look amazing!! Thats why the way they handle everything is frustrating.

in a way I do agree with Your points - price would "a bit" too high..as the fact that they slipped with "communication", but hopefully, they will put things in perspective & we'll see this great product out of the door sooner rather than later =)

Yeah, I like what they're doing, i'm just annoyed with how they are doing it if that makes sense.

Its like something I went through with a camera I have. I had something called a Red One, that the company allowed me to "Upgrade" to a Red Epic. After I put down a deposit, they delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed and the two years later I finally got my new camera. I was really pissed that I had been jerked around. But the new camera was really really sweet. :D

So I'm with you, hopefully they get it together and it's all worth the missed dates and broken software in the end. It would be really really nice to throw some of those brick scans on a flat plane and get something so pretty with so little effort.

This Austrian guy made his own Megascans, and the results are pretty awesome.

Man those are sexy. And he says they'll be out by the end of the month! That puts him ahead of quixel by about a year or two I'd imagine :roll:
