"How much is one seat of Max?"

Well, it's $3000. However, I wouldn't recommend Max to you unless you were absolutely sure you would eventually utilize all or most of it's functionality (as just a render alternative to Poser, it's too expensive by far). As for affordable alternatives with network capability, things like Carrara, Vue, Lightwave, and even C4D are better choices.

I'm not saying Poser is a "bad" renderer, because it's really not. Firefly is excellent. I just find it's lacking some things which I consider invaluable to animation rendering, especially for lengthy high res output or compositng. Poser certainly isn't an app I would trust to commercial animation with deadlines, etc. Message edited on: 01/13/2005 10:21
