I'm taking 3ds Max classes, its awsome software, but not worht the cash to just make wall paper.

Version 5 of 3ds Max is due out this fall. Editable Meshes will no longer be needed and version 5 will automaticaly patch holes on the polygons. I am hearing version 5 will rock......

Hey, Vanilla, thanks for the hint.
I also need a new car but I don't have the cash for it. Do you know where I can get a stolen one?

Go to the car park on Staunton Island. There are lots to choose from there. The best ones are on the top level though and there is a good jump for getting insane bonuses.

Oops. Sorry. Wrong Messageboard.

Oh sorry.
Anybody knows where I can get a Porshe without paying for it? It's not theft since I would never buy the Porshe in the first place...

Don't try to give yourself a good conscience Vanilla. As your mom probably told you years ago: taking without paying is THEFT. Don't kid yourself.

i use Hash's ANimation:Master, good solution, speedly, quality renders, incredible animation options, lots off addons (fur, particles, fisics, radiosity, the BEST cel shader on the market), good deliverance times if you purchase (4 days Canada-Spain!!!!!!)...
... and the most important reason: IT'S VERY ECONOMICAL.
Other great solution is Caligary TrueSpace (now in Version 6).
Try also OpenFX, it's free

Sure, MAX is AWESOME, but it's way too expensive, especially if you're a college student and your dad isn't George Bush Sr.

I've never used OpenFX, but it does look pretty dang good. Check it out here: http://openfx.org/news/index.php

Dig around share/freeware sites. There's some pretty nice renderers there. They may lack the polish and advanced features of MAX, but they're a great starting point

it's nothing like stealing a porsche cause i'm not taking away from anyone. for example i downloaded flash mx just to make one intro for my website which gets about 15 hits a day. the program is what, $300? now, i would never pay for that just to do that, but let's say someone has a business site and is getting tons of hits and making money from their site and they put the flash to good use, then yeah they should buy it. same thing for all the other stuff i have which is ridiculously overpriced, but i hardly ever use.

there's a lot of solutions for any graphics programs: For 3D there's free programs like OpenFX or 3dCanvas and others (including a Terrain Renderer like Terragen!!!!)
For photoretouching there's The GIMP and others
In sharewarte (low pricing), there's thopusands of solutions around the web. I use Swish for creating Flash animations and effects (i don't need to pay lots of money only for making some animations to my web, when Swish are excellent!!
miguellito: wich programs do you use for create this site?

*Sigh*
So rich people should buy their Porshe, but if I don't have a lot of money and I only want to go 5 blocks away, then OK I can steal the Porshe. Gotcha.

As Carlitus said, there are always cheaper solutions when you can't affort the expensive way. Heck, there are even some free solutions too. Go to Flashkit.com and check out the FlashTyper. You can create a Flash text animation with a bunch of different really cool animations for free.

well like i said about three times it's nothing like staeling a porsche cause i aint stealing anything. i wouldn't goto someone's house and still their copy of a program, but if they burnt me a copy then that's fine. people blow warez all out of proportion, like them saying that the gaming industry loses so many billions of dollars a year due to warez, but actually most people who downloaded or copied those games would never have bought them in the first place. if i bought all the games i downloaded i'd be blowing $100s of dollars each month and usually it turns out that either a)my computer sucks too bad to even play the game, or that the game sucks and i just delete it.

and yeah there are freeware or shareware programs that can do some of the stuff that the real expensive programs do, but why should i use crappy software when i can use the good ones? rather you all think it's right or not i don't care, but i think there's no reason why i should pay hundreds of dollars for these programs just to use occasionally for stuff that i don't even profit off of.
