the transition will take place on april 15, 2026 any announcements stating “starting today” refer to availability updates, but the full migration and policy changes are officially applied on april 15 2\ what happens to my existing umodeler x subscription? your existing subscription will be converted into a picoberry ai subscription personal → starter pro → pro additionally remaining time will be rounded up to the nearest full month the new subscription will not auto renew 3\ will existing users lose any value after the transition? no we explicitly designed the migration to prevent value loss remaining time is rounded up (not prorated down) additional benefits are provided for pro users (see below) 4\ are there any additional benefits for pro/plus users? yes if you had either an active umodeler x pro subscription , or purchased umodeler x plus as of march 12, 09 00 utc , you will receive permanent access to the template library 5\ what data is collected in the free version? we collect minimal usage data strictly for service improvement purposes includes (high level) feature usage patterns performance and error logs basic environment information (e g , unity version) does not include personal identifiable information (beyond what is strictly necessary) sensitive project content 6\ does umodeler x access or upload my project files? no your project files are not uploaded or shared externally there is no automatic extraction or transmission of asset data the data collection is limited to usage analytics , not content access 7\ is my project at risk of being leaked? no there is no mechanism that transmits your project files or assets , so your work is not exposed through umodeler x usage from a security standpoint no file level access no external storage of project content no sharing with third parties 8\ why is data collection required in a free product? the free model replaces subscription revenue with a product improvement loop data collection allows us to improve modeling workflows identify bugs and performance issues prioritize features based on real usage this is intentionally scoped to be minimal and non intrusive 9\ do i still need to upgrade to pro if my game generates over $200,000? no with umodeler x becoming free there is no revenue based restriction no mandatory upgrade tied to game earnings paid offerings (e g , umodeler x plus) are feature based, not revenue gated 10\ what happens to umodeler x plus and umodeler (classic)? they remain unchanged umodeler x plus continues as a paid product on the unity asset store receives latest features and updates umodeler (classic) no changes continues to be sold as is 11\ will i still need to log in to use umodeler x? no login is no longer required umodeler x can be used offline as a result the umodeler x hub will be discontinued account related features move to picoberry 12\ why remove login while still collecting data? (trust concern) this is a valid concern the design intention is no account dependency → lower friction, offline usability limited telemetry only → focused on product improvement there is no user level tracking system tied to identity , and no content level data collection final note umodeler will continue working to reduce the complexity of 3d creation and help more creators bring their ideas to life inside unity thank you for being part of the umodeler community — umodeler team
