Post by: mikhael on June 22, 2003, 12:17:46 am: LightWave 3D 7.5 ( With FREE! Upgrade to Version 8 ) -- Price: $394.95 (http://tinyurl.com/extb)

3ds max 5 with character studio 4 & reactor -- Price: $489.95 (http://tinyurl.com/exte)

That's less than the cost of the next top of the line video card.

Post by: CP5670 on June 22, 2003, 01:02:07 am: I think "students with cash" is a bit of an oxymoron... :D

But those prices are indeed pretty good compared to the originals. (although still way too overpriced for most of us)

What, are we in Dungeons and Dragons now? Look, all those guys in the Middle Ages used archaic English, and look where it got them! They're all dead! You wanna be like that? Huh? Stick to words we use in our time.

Like "bling-bling".

Er, never mind.

Title: Students with Cash might want to check this out...
Post by: CP5670 on June 22, 2003, 09:32:03 am: On the topic of old English, I have this math textbook from 1903 that is really, really nice, but has some weird English in it. The strangest things are that the words show and connection are replaced with "shew" and "connexion" so it says things like "We shall now shew the connexion between P(z) and F(a,b,c,z)." :D

I just thought "student discount" would be more applicable in an alcoholic environment. :)

Yes, I work full time for Cisco Systems. At my current hourly rate, I make one full price copy of Lightwave every two weeks, sometimes every week.

I take two classes per semester by way of distance education from my university. Same cost, same coursework, same tests. I just get the classes on CD and drive into the uni to take the tests. In the fall, I'll be taking Discrete Maths on the comp-sci side and Calculus I on the Maths side.

Later when I can afford to take entire semesters off from work, I'll be going heavy duty pure maths and comp sci, with occasional forays into physics.

Yeah, I like maths. ;) Not to the degree YOU like maths, but its certainly groovy.

I should introduce you to one of my coworkers. Double Masters in abstract maths and quantum physics. He got tired of it all and decided to be a WAN test engineer for Cisco. Crazy guy. Writes raytracers featuring quantum diffraction for fun. Knows why quaternions are cool, but why octonions are cooler. He makes my head hurt.

a cookie to the one who tells what's wrong in that sentence :p
Title: Students with Cash might want to check this out...
Post by: Xelion on June 23, 2003, 06:45:39 am: Absolutely nothing...Venom

I was just asking if anyone knows someone who doesn't use a manual with the software (which in this case is Lightwave 3D 7+) and a lot of people don't...and I just wanted to buy it off them, now that doesn't imply in anyway that I haven't or have purchased a copy, for all anyone here knows I just might have it installed on numerous computers and printing out would be a waste of money especially when its over a 1000 pages...

and the cookie part might be...Lightwave 3D 7+ doesn't have manual except a PDF...well thats not exactly what I heard from a source...so :ha:
Title: Students with Cash might want to check this out...
Post by: Nico on June 23, 2003, 06:49:48 am: you missed the point :D

it's just that usually, it's the manual which comes with the prog, not the otehr way around ;)

so :ha:

( ok ok I was just playing with words, so what? :p )
Title: Students with Cash might want to check this out...
Post by: Thorn on June 23, 2003, 07:07:35 pm: I am right in assuming that if I want to make money with the program I have to fork out the full $1500 USD? Or could I do the same with this?
Title: Students with Cash might want to check this out...
