I understand that, it's the pricing thing.

3DSMax is say $3000, VRay is another $1000 so say $400 (10-15%) for Octane+Max-plugin makes sense especially in a professional environment which have the high end hardware available anyway.

But Poser is say $500 and used mainly in hobbyist environments. That makes me wonder about the economics. $100 (20%) would make some sense, but what is the justification for doubling the costs (or tripling if SM is in 50% mode again). Quality of the result? Faster rendering? For large stills of anymation? What's the market for this, at this pricing level? 3? 300? 30.000?

I still don't get it, moneywise.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
