Hello, I'm really into 3D modeling and that kind of thing, I'm even doing a University degree on it in 2009 (if I get into it, I have to apply next week). But due to "financial restrictions" I've never been able to get hold of any 3D modeling software, I can't afford to buy it and my cheap internet runs between 25-30 kbps (when it runs at all) so I can't download it off bittorrent or limewire.
But I'm finishing school in 2 months (I'm in Australia) and with the money I've got saved up plus 2 or 3 weeks pay I should be able to afford a decent laptop and any software I need.
Now to the point, does anybody know what's a good 3D modeling package to learn on?
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve, I have a history of losing my shirt...
