Oh boy ! Oh boy ! One of my favorite add-ons ever just leveled up !!! Thanks for the hard work Chipp ! Looking forward to playing with that new version !
Three things I need to do. Lock myself in a room and go to town on KitOps and Flex. Finally finish those GeoNodes tutorials and find out how to replicate Chipps voiceover audio setup.
Yeah, that's a really good way of looking at it, except that when you save it it does not save it in your local file. But it's easy to replace as all you need to do is select your insert and use the replace function in kit ops and it will replace it with the one you just fixed. That's a very good analogy, do you mind if I use that?
Funny you say that because about a year ago I did create a brand new universal material. And I designed it so that it would have a compatible set of shaders for unreal. There are some betas in the existing product. Even so, I do continue to update the existing product and it's one of the reasons why it's on Google drive so you can automatically get any materials I add within 48 hours after I add them.
Unfortunately, requesting a discount code does not work for me. I have already sent 3 emails in the last few days - so far no reply. Maybe, and I hope so, I can reach you this way.
Yes, if you purchased kid ops Pro previously you only need to pay a small $10 upgrade fee. Go to the tit ops 3 Pro page on blender Market or gum road for details. Also, you might check your email as I did send out notes to all customers
@@ChippWalters $ 10 upgrade fee is fine, Chipp. As an existing kit ops pro 2 user, that's perfectly fine. Some people who use blender just don't seem to understand how lucky we are. They seem to think because blender is 'free' (it's not actually free, it's zero cost to them) > ergo > everything related to blender can be just given away. Not an entirely reasonable position, I think. Also, I saw on the Blender Market web page for KO Pro 3 that you have made it compatible with blender 3.6, which I really appreciate. I am perfectly happy to continue using 3.6 LTS for my projects, and am in no rush to move to 4.2.

I am sorry, but I am not happy. I will not support a program that after paying $35 not so long ago states that it will not support future Blender versions, and then deprecates the software. What happens if I upgrade my version 2pro to version 3, and then Blender 4.3 is released (or even Blender 5), and then I will need to upgrade again. At least Kit Ops 2 Pro should have been maintained to keep it’s functionality to a full Blender upgrade. I think I may let this product fall by the wayside.
I am sorry you feel that way. I launched KIT OPS Pro 6 years ago. Since then I have created over 30 upgrades and have never charged for them a single time. I pay developers thousands of dollars each month to improve it and keep it current with the latest Blender versions. I work to keep the documentation and videos up to date and provide a discord where I strive to help people with problems and provide support.
I understand the cost of continued development, but kit ops has not been updated since Blender 3.5. I paid $35 not so long ago. I assumed that kit ops would be kept updated to work with the most recent version of Blender, at least until a new version of Blender was released that broke kit ops completely. I don’t mind paying $10 more for extra features, but not to keep the functionality of the existing version. I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that part of my original $35 would be used to keep kit ops current. You may have been developing kit ops for 6 years, but people who have purchased it recently have an expectation of future support.
@@ChippWalters Yes, I understand. I am sorry if I sound negative, I do appreciate your replies, perhaps I have been spoilt. I bought Flip Fluids, Botaniq, box cutter and Hard Ops a year before I bought Kit Ops in 2022, and they are all still providing upgrades for their add-ons, maybe that will change soon.
Oh boy ! Oh boy ! One of my favorite add-ons ever just leveled up !!! Thanks for the hard work Chipp ! Looking forward to playing with that new version !
Awesome. Looking forward to trying this out soon.
I was wondering when you were going to update KitOps! You did not disappoint! Amazing work!!!
incredible upgrade! congrats Chipp and team!!
Fantastic add-on.
Instance insert would be great to save up on valuable storage and computations 😂
Just got this. It looks awesome! Can't wait to use it. Are there any tutorials on creating your own inserts and making Kpaks?
Yes, look on my channel. There are many
13:10 where do these lines come from?
Thank You Very Much for this Amazing Update!!! 👍😁

Haha, Yeah, sorry about the voiceover noise. Never was very good at extemporaneous speaking.
Amazing update 🎉❤❤🎉
Havent heard from Chip in a long time. Hope all is well.
Yes, been working on this since April. So my head's been down a bit.
I don't have "convert assets" tab, what should i do?
You need pro for this
Make sure you expand the header for the paddle area
Will all my current k packs I have for kit ops 2 work with 3 ?
Yes
I litterarly bought Kit Ops pro 2 yesterday! Is ther an uprade option? I will by either way but I wish I saw this video yesterday 😅
What did you pay for it yesterday?
@@RomboutVersluijs $35
$36
Sorry. $35 not $36. Bought Design Magic as well.
@@RoxRon1 okay that's indeed weird. Because ops 3 is same price and for you now would make $45 in total
5:45 jeeez, i think about that option in general in blender for some time, As the equivalent of a smart object from photoshop

thx chipp ,just bought upgrade
what about your eevee_cycles materials system ? Do you plan some future updates for it as well ?

is it an update if we have to or do we got to buy this sperate?
It's an upgrade but if you already own it you get a sizable discount.
Is this merely for product visualization or can I create game assets for UE5 with this?
You can do both.
💯🙌 great times.

Is design magic being updated soon?
We are continually adding stuff to design magic as needed. You can go to the repository and sort by date to see what's new.
Kit ops works with 4.1. the new version required a rewrite. DM me and let's chat. http:/cw1.me/discord
