Wow, what an encouraging message, Jags! I think you hit all the points. People need to face the fact that subscriptions are what is happening now, whether we like them or not. Things cost money. Also, I am far from a good modeler or sculptor, but I truly enjoy sitting down with ZBrush and practicing, all the while learning and getting "outside my box". Thanks for a great video.

I am getting an iPad just for Zbrush. What iPad do you have, but more specifically what is the processor? M1 M2 or A14 or A12 My main concern is accidentally getting an iPad that can handle the app (Zbrush)

I have the apple Ipad Air 9th Generation. I think I got mine in 2020. It's definitely old. My best friend got the Ipad Pro with 512 gb and 8gb of ram and it FLIES. If you plan on doing super dense sculpting, maybe get the 16gb version but that's going to be almost $2k. Honestly, any of the modern Ipad Pros will get you in the right ballpark.

@@JonJagsNee sounds good man, thanks for your response!

You don’t need a recent iPad for sculpting apps in general. Yes, it will be sluggish at really high model resolutions but you shouldn’t be doing that in the first place, even with higher-end iPads and computers. These apps use traditional game engine features that are practical and very efficient with hardware resources due to advanced APIs like Metal, DX12 and Vulcan.

Shoot for an m1, 2021. Then you can go for more storage., which you will need. I get all my phones, my iPad, even laptops on a site called Swappa. Guaranteed not stolen. Really awesome.

You're making the wrong argument. People are not complaining about things costing money, they're complaining about everything being a subscription. Moreover, many of these subscriptions are forcing you to make an annual commitment and/or makes it incredibly hard to cancel (cough Adobe cough). It simply defeats the entire purpose of what subscriptions were meant to accomplish (ease of use, affordability, paying only as long as you're using). Like hell, at this point I'd gladly pay for a perpetual license and only see return on investment in 2 years of subscription, then use the software for maybe 2 months in total in the time. And I'd still think it's worth it because it's on MY terms and at my own pace.

[@JonJagsNee]

fair point on the annual vs. monthly. I typically do monthly subscriptions even though it costs a bit more so then I can turn on /off. Like, for example...I'm not subbed to Disney+ right now but I will if a new Mandalorian season releases. Generally, I have found that I know myself so I don't lock into annual subscriptions anymore and I try to not fall prey to the scarcity mindset of saving money later. I definitely made that mistake with the latest Warcraft subscription. Bought a year but now I don't really touch it anymore. So yeah, i agree it's kinda advantageous of big companies to add so many upsells to the annual year that it feels "worse" to not get the full year but I have realized that I have commitment issues. So I'd rather acknowledge that and be patient with myself :P
