So if the majority of one srenders are doing Semi naked/naked people just sitting still in a largely empty universe then switching to C4D,Vray  etc etc even with Good SSS& hair etc solutions
and continuing to produce such renders is an utterly pointless exercise IMHO no matter the speed increases.

Well, all hobbies are kinda pointless, aren't they?

I mean, few hobbyists are producing top quality anything. Not many beer league hockey players making it into the NHL. Not many part time weekend watercolour painters featured in the Met.

In the vast scheme of things, $1775 for a piece of equipment is not much. Some hobbies are far, far more expensive. Ask any photographer. I've spent more on a single lens. And I ain't Ansel Adams. Does that mean that what I do is utterly pointless? Because I spent money on something I enjoy but the results don't meet your artistic standards?
