Quote - let's see now.
V-Ray, standard price, around $1000
Maxwell Render - $746
Final Render - $1000 (about. no one price for the basic)
Brazil - $905
Mental Ray - No Direct Price LIsted.so. taking into account say bulk prices etc... you really want poser to jump in price by at least %100? (thats a base price of $249 for poser, and taking into account V-Ray for trueSpace was marketed at $299 so roughly %100. (yes I know it's a little over lol))
sorry mate. I'll take it at $249 and use another render engine I can get for FREE like Kerkythea.
Quoted for agreement
Also they are usually implemented Via A plugin/extension built by makers of these third part engines.
NOT the Makers of the host App
(Smith micro, Maxon, Autodesk etc.)
They only port their renderers to Pro Apps for use in professional pipelines(movie& Television)
and there are third party solution for poser if you are willing to Do the work to get your poser content into them
such as "poseray" And "yafray"& indigo Via Blender.
Few people are willing to do the work however.
BTW My $60 version of VUE 6 easel
with GItakes poser content natively Still and animated and frankly looks heaps better than any of the poser-8 GI renders Ihave seen thus Far,
(*No offense to bagginsbill ,stewer andnco.
but I gotta be honest here.)
Cheers
