Aaah, it's a character, not just LT2 lights that parent to a control globe . . . I should have realized that's how you can have ERC . . .

You really are adding a lot of value to the idea. I feel sure there's a market for it. How much people would pay I don't know, but it's a great effect, even in my crude version (which does not seem to illuminate as brightly as yours despite having more lights.) People definitely want the effect, and when you add up the hours it would take to build their own, why wouldn't they want to pay ten bucks instead? Of course, in terms of how much time it would cost to make it yourself, if you value your time at minimum wage, you'd theoretically pay a lot more than ten bucks. The problem is, above ten bucks there are so many other products that one doesn't own yet and that would enhance one's Poser projects even more than an omni.

The biggest mistake people make in the Market is to price something at what it's "really worth" rather than what people will pay. A hundred sales at five bucks is better than ten at twenty bucks, and that's the kind of demand curve you run into here. Just one man's opinion.

Anyway, I can now answer your question. Under ten bucks, I'd buy.
