In the industry, they don't use 1 software but ell over 20 softwares for
a single movie.
RS can do everything, but it is not specialized.
In my own project I have used Vue for trees, VistaPro for the terrain,
Gimp for texture, UVmapper Pro for texture placement, Silo for some
modeling and all that imported in Realsoft.
For character animation I would use something more specialized.
Don't care if GI is fake as long as it looks good.
Personally, the only weakness of realsoft is IK for character animation.
Do you think that one day, a company will make a software that is
definitive (no improvement needed)?
I does everything you can think of easily.
Or are we condemned

really much if they would make it so great software that you
wouldn't need any other softwares if you got realsoft.
I think that this sentence, on it's own, says a lot, and I think it
raises two important issues.
The first is that I don't think that RS want to raise their prices:
their ethos seems to be to try to provide the best combination of
features and quality for a moderate price, and by doing so, make
those features and quality more accessible i.e to those on a
limited budget.
The second issue is that if RS were to take on more people, to
provide more features etc, and then raise their price, who would
buy it? There are already many other established players in the
high-cost region of 3D software, so why would their existing users,
who will have years of learning and experience invested in their
existing 3D packages, bother to switch to RS?
Like anything else you might buy, RS is a trade-off, a compromise
between price and functionality/capability.
If price is of no importance to you, why are you using RS when you
could simply pay a lot more money and use something else?
Sure, RS isn't perfect, but then nothing else is either; everything
is a compromise, and like I said in an earlier post, you pays your
money and makes your choice. If you don't think that RS is good
value for money then spend your money elsewhere but don't complain
that you haven't got a Rolls Royce when you've only paid the price
of a Ford.
