How much does it cost to put a 3D model of a person in a certain position?

Question

3D

Hello!
It is necessary to put a 3D model of a person in various positions in order to describe the performance of any exercise. There are drawings and photos of positions. In fact, rendered images are needed from the performer. The model, for example, is some kind of default athlete, without excessive customization and over-detailing.
I heard that the Poser program is well suited for such purposes. How much on average will one such position cost when working in Poser and how much in other editors? With and without the creation of the model itself.
Thank you.

I will not say in prices, but I will try to estimate in man-hours.
Poser is extremely simple, you can set any pose on the built-in people yourself in a few minutes. Plus a few minutes for rendering, if in high resolution.
With the rest of the editors and customization, everything varies greatly and depends on the required detailing and the selected base. But I don’t think it will take more than a week for the model + also a few minutes for each pose (if the model is skinned), or + several tens of minutes and up to an hour per pose (if the model transforms for each pose without skinning with joint distortion compensation).
In short, the full cycle is: modeling -> texturing -> skinning -> rigging -> getting the right poses -> rendering.
In terms of costs, each next stage is easier than the previous one. In ZBrush, you can do without skinning and rigging, but posing the poses will take a little longer. It all depends on the number of poses, if there are really a lot of them, then it’s better to spend time on skinning, but then rivet them in batches, if they can be listed on the fingers of one hand, then the time for normal skinning may not justify itself.
In short, the range is very large and highly dependent on your requirements and budget.
