| just taking a pulse on which features you might be willing to pay a $50 upgrade
(note this $50 is just an arbritary number, not neccesarily what reallusion would charge)

| Last iClone upgrade cost $99.99, in my experience upgrades from previous software versions usually remain consistent in 2-d and 3d applications because it's such a competitive landscape.

| | Not really sure what the options mean to me as I'm not that much an animator more a director. But I choose 1 as it seems the most sensible to animation. But what do I know

| | Hi Aknzrdude, Tricky question and must be a dilema also for "R". Re: man hours, client count etc.
What's an average affordability bracket for the masses associated with the field?
Personaly fifty UK Pounds, (whats that, 100 us dollars or so?) is a comfortable price per version jump.
I dont see anything else on the market that even comes close this regarding diverse ease of use & creatability etc.
On the topic of financial flexibility with each upgrade and variance, Im happy with a variable. To fix the fee as a stable element would feel to promote limited advances, as excessive man hours in development thereafter would be assumed an unpaid loss against such a fixed fee and thereby promote 'potential earlier improvement' to be stored against the following upgrades as if the fee was some kind of installment.
From such a perspective, if the modellers and / or creators at the big 'R' want to bust a gut and burn the candle at both ends delivering very high technological improvement/tools I can't see unjustification in weighing off such an upgrade fee demand against the current membership of users accordingly.
And if such improvements were delivered as 2 bi-annual upgrades at fifty dollars a time or a larger single annual upgrade at a hundred dollars....... which would receive complaint?
Is it just me or do I get the feeling each version fractional jump ( 2.0 / 2.1 / 2.5) is half the development content of the next numerical jump anyway.
I wouldn't like to be the one who sets the fee. Far too many mathematical peculiarities to evaluate.  (Armstrong.)

| well iclone was the right price for a good level of functionality. If you added more features but kept the upgrade reasonable then it is a win win - but if you had to increase the price too high then it loses its appeal - poser provides a ton of functionality but is more expensive so if iclone price approaches poser, i'll just stick with poser
now if i had to spend $50 for an upgrade and i had to choose the features above, option 2 or 3 get's me more benefit immediately |
