Actually, pdxjims, the upgrade price for the whole thing now costs $129. I think your idea is good, though. If the basic skeleton program (full-program) cost $150 and maybe $95 (upgrade), then charge $75 for each module (I'm sure CL could think of new ones to add along the way, too), they would still make more on the program than they're now making. Non-upgrade (full-program) Skeleton (cloth, Firefly/P4 renderer, Content Paradise): $150 Add-on Elements (hair, setup, wind, atmosphere): $75 ea. Total: $450 Upgrade from earlier versions Skeleton (cloth, Firefly/P4 rederer, Content Paradise): $95 Add-on Elements: $75 ea. Total: $395 That's more than they're bringing in now. And I believe a lot more people will buy it. Look at how many of us now haven't bought it yet for various reasons. This may bring in more sales. (I hope CL is reading this thread.) For those of us who can't afford all the elements at one time, it would be less, but most people will eventually pick up the other elements along the way as funds allow or the need for the element arises. As an afterthought, it might also help alleviate a little of the piracy problem, too. Naturally, it wouldn't cure it, and there are always those idiots who want everything in life handed to them for free, even if they can afford it, but maybe some will be able to buy it who couldn't before. xvcoffee, I really love your idea.
