As long as you're enjoying what you're doing thats the main thing. :)

I have to admit being tempted by Vue a number of times but the cost of entry, not to mention the dazzling array of licenses put me off in the end.

Yes it took me a long while to take the plunge.  In the end I got Vue Studio on sale and that seems to have all of what I want with the exception I would like to add Vue painter.   I also pay each month so that I can get the upgrades free and that seem a good way to keep your investment at a reasonable cost. The big plus for me is the ability to use Poser within Vue and let Poser handle the materials.  That allows me to do an interior scene in Poser and an external in Vue and the figures look the same.  Not only that I am not spending an age converting the materials before hand.

 

 

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.
