Why do computer graphics studios use licensed renderers and software? - the renderers - monsters and miasmas - rapidshare
There are free renderers like POV-Ray, which are very competitive, why publishers continue to commercial software products such as Mental Ray, Renderman using Final Render, etc? If these companies do not exist. So what to do with a commercial program to be better than open source / a freeware?

A combination of reasons why a person or a company with a commercial program to a free open-source.
A commercial program can provide support for the company that sold it to the training. You can also get updates that are released fully tested before they are. Other reasons why control over the software and use an industry standard that many use the same goal of creating graphics.
Although open-source software can provide the same function to create graphics that make a lot of things mentioned above. A few important things that open source is not as good support for a business that for every company, which is important in this business. The other question is open source, even if it could run on any computer that has a problem when the company online, not only use, and probably not compatible with other graphics programs that can be exported or exported in the past. There are other things to worry, but I think now I understand why advertising SoftwarE is the choice.
Hope that helps!
Speaking as a system administrator for a university theater, which uses a lot of proprietary software when open source alternatives are available free of charge ... While we have a tight budget years of ...
The main problem with my ability to run with the free alternative, the interface is simply not as good and polished as protected material. The software is free, and work equally well ... or even better ... It does not matter, because they can not find, like you, what bothers you.
Moreover, the only one in many cases, proprietary software, which was used by the person at all, and had long used. I have people who have used literally for AutoCAD 25 + years.
Finally, as the poor schlub these people need support, free software has support sucky. Period. I like to be able to grab the phone and call Adobe or Autodesk, if I have problems. I'm a software developer (albeit small developers), to rewrite whole sections of their products just to support us. No free software Community ever done for us. The only advice I get is "Well ... you can change yourself." What would be nice if we got the money for a software engineer had been rent.
As companies find the freeware / opensource is not profitable.
