Quote - Actually, that puts me off as well. I don't like the idea of paying monthly or annually for using software. It's not just for MD. I wouldn't pay to use Poser that way or my browser either.

 

I am of the same view but unfortunately this is the way some companies are going.  Not an issue with MD though as I could not get it to run on my machine and tech support was neither technical or supportive so a ruled out MD at any cost.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
