Current versions of Photoshop, Vue Infinite, and Carrara Pro are around that price. Alot of people have all (or at least some) of these not to mention they've also purchased Poser (possibly several times) so it might not be (or seem) so expensive at all ? However, I'd say if you're using DAZ Studio because you cannot afford Poser than there would be fare more potential for it to be out of your budget. :lol:
