Wow, basically all 3D software (with two exceptions) is significantly trending
downwards. Could that be due to "Pirates of the Caribbean" ? In that it
presents a computer as a way to lose your soul artistically? 8D

Blender and I don't get on. Maya is nice but expensive and neither of them are
as much fun or as flexible as povray, not even close! :)

lol! I guess it's even more WTFish if one thinks of PoC as not that bad a film,
and the CGI as integral part of the film. I was wondering if somehow something
could have taken the fun out of CG for a lot of folks, such that interest
worldwide in CG software would be declining as those google stats seem to
suggest.

did you try with ZBrush, 3D Coat, VRay, Maxwell and other more modern CG
software? Perhaps Maya and Mental Ray just don't cut it anymore...

Okay, it would be fun to get to the bottom of the mystery, but aren't almost all
of those in effect plug-ins, or something other than a major rendering engine?

nope, ZBrush and 3D Coat are the premiere modelling programs for highly detailed
meshes these days and VRay and Maxwell are the premiere modern rendering
engines.

Thanks! The story arc closes with the finding that Vray and Maxwell took away
market share from 3DS Max.

Replace "happens" with "professes" and you'll be nearer the mark.
