New perpetual licenses cost $595. Subscriptions cost $49/month or $295/year.Read an overview of the new features in SynthEyes 2025 on Boris FXs blogRead a full list of new features in SynthEyes 2025 in the online release notesHave your say on this story by following CG Channel on Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
