"There are some huge differences in price and, presumably, features. If you were buying C4D now, at its current price levels, which version would you get?"
HI as I stated earlier the Cheapest version of C4D (Prime) is $995 +Shipping
and does not even have GI rendering ability.
so at a minmum if better/faster renders than poser is ones primary motivation
then C4Dprime is not a good value IMHO
the next version up is "broadcast" which has GI
and cost $1700 USD.
to be brutally honest if I were a poser user with $1700 USD ready to spend on better rendering options I would not be looking at C4D at all .
I would Spend $600 of that money on vue 10 complete
** http://www.e-onsoftware.com/products/vue/vue_10_complete/**
it imports Poser pro 2012 scenes PZ3 both stills and animations with Dynamic cloth.
that would leave you with $1100 Dollars to spend on important stuff ...like Toothpaste,Soap, Deodorant & toilet paper.
Cheers
