Arrrg. I just went thru *several* days of troubleshooting #Maxon's intensely intrusive anti-piracy software shenanigans to install an app that Maxon clearly states is "free," only to be shown that what I have installed is actually a 7 day trial?!

Not impressed.

So... #Maxon didn't kill #Autograph, they made it free(?) Interesting 🤔

Maxon bought Forger and pretty much just discontinued it. In the Forger app it says customers get 6 months of ZBrush for free. But all that actually happens when you click that button is: it crashes Forger. Support is not doing much, except treating it "as a priority".

Aaaand new exciting tut is out 💪
