Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 24 1:08 pm)
Very interesting, and the medical set is definitely a good
buy. Roughly one dollar per piece.
I suspect the constant pricing just saves labor in the accounting departments
at both ends. Remembering when I worked in academia... I would have appreciated
those constant prices when writing up a grant proposal. It would avoid questions
from the university's bean-counters, like "Why does this set cost so much
more than the other set? Aren't they the same kind of thing?"

Ah, yes...beancounters. I deal with them regularly and it's amazing how much time and money is wasted keeping beancounters happy. The last week in any month is typically unproductive because things that should be done, that would temporarily look bad to a beancounter, get postponed to the beginning of the next month. If money is expended at the end of the month, showing a temporary deficit that would be fine the following week, lengthy reporting procedures to explain the deficit have negative result of adopting a work practice of letting things slide till the beginning of the next month. Consequently, it is now a routine practice to let things slip at the end of the month because it's not worth the hassle to do the job the right way anymore.
Beancounting has become such a myopic practice that it truly represents insanity. Somewhere down the line, the quality of the beans got lost in keeping nice neat piles of beans. I can understand where you're coming from where it's easier if crap costs as much as better stuff because beancounters don't know the difference and it makes it easier to order what you know is good.
Yup. I must admit that I was a beancounter myself (bookkeeper, not accountant)
in an earlier life. It really does make that job easier if you can minimize the
different categories. (Here we have 20 'graphics sets' @ $119 ea.)
But when the accountant becomes king (or CEO) the company will die.
Or more precisely, the company will devolve into a chunk of paper assets
that will be eaten by some other company.

When I did a google search for Maya and 3dsMax, one of the hits was Dosch's model pack of medical equipment. Every now and then, there's requests for medical equipment models, so I thought it might be of interest to post the link, though the $119 price tag will keep most of us away.It's interesting seeing a company putting out specialty sets of models. I don't know why they price everything the same. The medical set looks very good and, when all the models are counted up, the price isn't too bad. I looked at the baseball set and, for the same price, the customer gets a lot less and there was significantly less work to pull that set together.
