3D Modeling

Plant's picture
Help! Plant - Wednesday, September 12, 2007 - 08:54

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...

Max!!!

Studio Max!!! There are 2 main ones, I have only ever used Max. Also I think most of the major companies, like the ones that 3D model and render for blockbuster movie titles are using Max at the moment.

Isn't Max that thing on

WaterFaerie; Sunday, September 16, 2007 - 22:10

Isn't Max that thing on MangaAcademy.com? I have that! It's really good, though there isn't a lot of things on there - only two courses.

A little

xXRed13Xx; Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - 21:36

A little over 8000 I think... but it's not exactly £4000 anyway, it's between £2000 and £4000... plus prices will be different in different countries.

I'm glad I get almost all my

Reiko Kitsune; Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - 03:41

I'm glad I get almost all my software and hardware on discount because my dad's a teacher and has crazy connections.

$8000 is allot, I couldn't imagine spending that much on anything (obvious exceptions: car/house/etc.)

I'm sure I could find one

Reiko Kitsune; Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 00:51

I'm sure I could find one for $8000, it might just be a little shack wit no lawn, in a horrible neighborhood and may just be a joke about passing any inspections of any kind. But it'll be cheap and the graffiti art all around is sure to inspire anyone, we're not sure what it will inspire them to do, but its still inspiration.

You may also have to combat the hobo's for it.

*Hums the Mortal Kombat theme*

xXRed13Xx; Thursday, September 20, 2007 - 12:07

*Doo-doo-doo-doo-do-do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-"HOBO KOMBAT!!!"*

I would totally woop the hobos butts... they would be mal-nourished and lack of calcium will have made their bones weak.

*Struggles with himself over the keyboard*

Back to subject, I have always wanted Max... but I can't even nearly afford it :) why do they make it so expensive :(

Ha ha ha ha $8000 house...

Plant; Friday, September 21, 2007 - 10:07

The town where I am in Australia has made in on the national news for the gargantuan jump in property prices. 6 years ago a house (rather large house, 2 levels) made it into the local news paper for being $400,000ish for being top of the market and one of the highest priced houses in the area. 2 years ago it was sold again for 2.5 million, no improvements, just a price jump. Its still rising...
Point being, where I live it's $8000 for a shipping container in a friends yard, dozens and maybe even hundreds of families are living like this in my area.

That sounds like some

Joamette Gil; Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 06:14

That sounds like some intense beef, especially considering that entire short films have been produced using nothing but this single program.

yeah, he made...

Plant; Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 06:24

a little clump (so it looked like real minced beef), then duplicated it over and over. After that failed he made a big mac, except he couldn't get the seseme seeds to sit on the bun right
