Does anyone know where I may be able obtain 3DS MAX for cheaper than the
$3500 price tag? No, I am not implying pirating it. It's just really
hard to come up with such an outrageous amount of money. I would get
the student version, but I will be using it for commercial use. Any
advice would be appreciated.

I have seen people advertising it in here for $2500... Or you can watch
the group for people selling it used. Search for FS in the subject of
the message, it stands for "For Sale".

Find an Authorized dealer in your area. No one pays the $3500 that Kinetix
advertises. I bought mine from a dealer in Cleveland for $2500. They also
supply support. That's why I recommend a dealer and not someone online.

Street price is about $2500 and if you buy now you'll get a free upgrade
to MAXr2. There's also another couple of options. There's VIZ (about
$1500) and MAX apprentice ($500???). Not sure of the limitations of MAX
apprentice.

I haven't seen MAX Apprentice myself yet but the two main limitations
are that rendered images would be visually watermarked and the files
saved by Apprentice wouldn't be compatible with MAX/VIZ.

Best Regards,
Stefan.

One more limitation is that renderings are limited to a max resolution of
640x480.
