NC AI Lowers Barriers to Content Creation with 50% Subscription Discount

What happened

NC AI, a Korean AI company, announced a promotion for its 3D tool 'VARCO 3D' and its sound tool 'VARCO Sound'. New users, and free users who switch to a paid plan, get 50% off their first month. The promotion runs until the 30th of next month. There are also bonus points and a free-month event on the official Discord community.

Key numbers

• VARCO 3D Plus: 28,600 won a month, drops to 14,300 won for the first month.
• VARCO Sound Lite: 14,300 won a month, drops to 7,150 won for the first month.
• VARCO 3D Premium: 50,000 base points plus 30,000 bonus points, 80,000 points in total.
• VARCO Sound Max: 40,000 base points plus 25,000 bonus points, 65,000 points in total.
• Discord event from the 21st to the 31st: one free month of VARCO 3D Plus or VARCO Sound Lite. The first 100 people get a special 'VARCO OG' title.

What these tools do

VARCO 3D makes 3D objects from text and pictures. You can describe a shape in everyday language or upload a reference picture. It supports textures up to 4K, so surfaces look real. VARCO Sound makes sound effects and background sounds from text, images, or video. Each sound is a separate track, so users can change its volume or swap it out. A new 'sound agent' runs creation and editing tools from plain-language commands. Audio length was raised from 20 seconds to 60 seconds.

Why it matters

Making 3D art and sound often costs a lot of money and skill. Lower prices let more people, such as students and small creators, try these tools. NC AI also says it is part of 'Modu AI', a government-led project to bring AI services to all citizens, and it plans to grow from text-based AI into 3D and sound creation.

What to watch

• Whether new users keep paying after the first discounted month.
• How many people join the Discord event before the limit of 100 people is reached.
• Whether NC AI adds more sound or 3D features through its 'Modu AI' work with KT.
