I was wondering if you really have to pay around £3000 for 3D Studio max.

 

Thanks in advance

thats the commercial license fee, you can probably get a student license for about $800. if cash is a concern (understandably so), get gmax; its based on 3dsmax, and its free, and Kam has made tools for it, that will let you modify gta3, and vice with it.

There are also other ways to *ahem* "acquire" 3DSMax. But then, what do you need it for, anyway? The modeling tool of choice for GTA modding is ZModeler, which is (for now) free of charge.

the modeling tool of choice for gta is NOT zmod... Blender, 3DS Max, or Gmax. Zmod cant prelight, and will not have the ability to support the new features for SanAn. I believe there are now Light maps in SA which Zmod wont be able to output

I got my 3ds max for £300 and i got maya 6.5 for £800 nervous.gifsmile.gif

that ish is bootlegged!!!! lol

 

yes, you can "aquire" it, and discreet generally doesnt care either as long as you pay them when you want to make a profit with it. try to get around discreet not owning your pc and resources with that installed heh heh.

 

 

Zmodeler Sucks now, but the first one was nice.

 

Gmax is your best bet beause they released it mainly so that "aquiring" 3ds wasn't so acceptable anymore. Besides, why would you want to knowingly hack yourself, or get yourself hacked. think about it. Get Gmax, its well worth learning it. Or, you can definately talk someone you know out of quitting 3ds and giving you theirs turn.gif
