Don't everybody think that it might be "reasonable", when comparing the price of the two options, to add to B base cost all the optionals required to bring car B on pair with car A?
Yes but be intellectually honest and state that your desire for optional add ons or poser style features
will make the usage cost X dollar amount higher for you.
Dont accuse the maker of a base no frills version of misrepresenting the "real" price
which frankly is just what people intend do when they claim Daz studio is "not really" FREE.
You can get the FREE Daz studio
get the FREE Vic/Mic Clones
scour the various user communities for FREE textures,props Clothing sets,
or Use the Afformentioned Wings 3D& Gimp.blender etc etc. and create your own Content.
If you dont believe this is possible just visit the Daz Forums,freepository and galleries and see what is being created& rendered at no cost beyond hardware & time spent
which is a GOOD thing in this economy IMHO
This attempted trick of arbitrarily Picking, expensive ,optional third party DS add ons and trying to convince people that they represent the true cost of Daz studio does not fool anyone and only Exposes the claimants anti-Daz agenda.
and your Car example is rather silly as a car with no usable steering Equipment can not be considerd a usable vehicle by any sane standard
a Free 3D figure posing and rendering program with no Dynamic cloth or FBX plugin included for free can still meet a certain useable standard and functionality just as poser did for many years before getting such features.
cheers
