About support software transition (Patreon)
Content
I wanted to make another post about using new support software.
My main intention is to have the most reliable and easy to use software for support creation. Its about getting the majority, the most easy to use and durable support systems. Ive read many replies from you all and can understand why sticking with whats familiar is preferred. Along with money being a factor. We are currently at a point with support software where some are free and some cost money. It wont be long before all the good support software will cost us money. We all know chitubox is on its way there, with a better "pro" version.
Ive been a 3D artist since 2004 and this is all too familiar, when it comes to something as new as 3d printing. Theres a good chance we are going to jump from one piece of software to another, possibly every year. Companies are competing with one another, trying to give consumers a better product.
You may see MMM go back to chitubox in two months, IF they make tools that make support creation superior to Lychee. I have to entrust support creation to the people that literally spend every day doing it and thats what Im doing.
It use to take me 30-40 hours to support a full month release and Id still miss islands. And that was when I was doing my best support work. Now that Im no longer doing the supports but am still responsible for the outcome of the supports, I have to make that decision.
Of course I dont want to lose some of you, merely because of a move in support software, but I believe it will prove to be a good decision, moving forward.
If you all are willing to learn this too, you have a community on discord, ready to help out. Im still learning it as well...and adjusting to the UI after a couple hours.
Apologies for any bad grammar...Im an artsy guy!
