The Bongo V2 Upgrade is available to existing owners of a Bongo V1 licence at a significantly reduced price. It provides full access to every feature in Bongo V2 — including the Inverse Kinematics engine, curve-based animation, object hierarchies, and real-time previews — without paying the full commercial price.
A perpetual licence upgrade — one-time cost, no subscription, no expiry.
