I find it amazing that marketing is so out of touch with their target audience ... "$125 / month ... that's maybe an hour of your time?"
Are there any freelance 3D animators out there that get $125 / hour? Maybe I'm out of touch...maybe 10 years ago. I will be using Softimage, with Redshift 3D, till I change careers. Not buying , or renting, anything else. Sorry.
