I think

Scarily expensive probably, but you can order a demo Cd from that page (not sure how good it is, tho)

setekh will eat me if i post a link :P

FYI its $3,495 for a commercial license and aroun $800 for a student license (3DSMAX4)

the only limits on the student edition are that you can't make money with it, otherwise its' a full functional copy.

the plugin renderer Mental Ray costs something like $8000 per CPU (16k if you have a dual machine etc.)

if you want a legal copy, take a look on ebay because sometimes people will auction off old copies of MAX (I wouldn't get less than max 3.1 tho!)

Well, he is the Resident AWACS here you know......

For all you know, he may be using something more advanced than crystalline arrays!

TS5 is a surprisingly good package for the price..

if you wanted a REALLY good package..

softimage|3D 3.9 extreme goes for $20,000 and Maya 3 goes for about $7000 (basic version..more advanced versions and paint FX, cloth sim, subdivision surfaces modelling and softbody dynamics)

It just scares me, the kinda prices for of programs, especially ones that are upgraded from older versions.  Were I actually using it for some money making purpose - then I could possibly accept it.

the amount of R&D that goes into a major upgrade fully justifies the price.
