Gmax.
Free, and pretty much the same.
Also, 3ds max (without a student license) costs $7,000, and you'll never get a student license unless you are taking college classes on game developement...

Pshhh, too cheap to fork over the down-payment on a new BMW just for a hobby? Just kidding. Here's the link for Gmax.

If you are looking into getting photoshop, do not get any of the numbered ones. Um.. hmm.. what was the newest one... Well, it's whatever is after 7, but it doesn't matter.
You should really get the GIMP, which is a free image editor with all sorts of options, and if not that then just use paint, you only need the special stuff if you plan on doing the really big and technical stuff.

yes, im sure it was....KingOfWar wrote:that was my lil bro lol lol
and usually using something like limewire leads to viruses.... even more so with programs isntead of just songs. just watch out what you download (NEVER, EVER EVER EVER download the .exe's!!!!! just download the .zip's and .rar's)

Never download the 1,024kb zip archives. If you do download any zip archives, never open htem with winzip, use winrar, for some reason the viral zips don't work with winRAR

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
