Quote - hi all,

I did not wade through about all 7 pages of this forum threat, sorry for that, but can someone shine some light on the economics of all this?

PoserPro costs $500 when SM is not in cheap mode ($250 then), Octane+PoserPlugin will cost say $350 and I need another say $150 to ramp up my video cards to make this a worthwhile investment.

Why should I double / tripple the costs of my Poser software? It does not speed up my development time which is at least 80% of the time required anyway, and thanks to queue manager I can render while developing, and also overnight.

What do I miss? Just asking.

Octane is a high quality unbiased render engine able to produce better pictures in capable hands. So it gives you a more choice in render options
