Autodesk 3DS Max

[Baiken]

I am in need of an old version of 3DSMax, aka 3D Studio Max, which is a 3D modelling program. The only version available on Discreet's (http://www.discreet.com) (the developer) website, 3DSMax 6, doesn't operate on Windows 98, only 2000 and XP. I have no desire to switch operating systems, and so if anyone has version 5 or 4, I'd love to have it. Thanks in advance :D

was there a shareware version of 3dmax? or has it only been a retail app?
have you looked into free alternatives such as pov-ray? not a 3d modeler, a ray tracer, but it depends on what your trying to accomplish

there is also ALICE

Yes, there was a shareware version, and the version of 6.0 I got that wouldn't work on my system was also shareware. I specifically need 3d Studio Max, because I'm trying to make 3d Models for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and the art tools supplied by Blizzard work only with 3d Studio Max.

[locustfurnace]

Blizzard? the release group?

I got Kinetix 3d Studio MAx 3.1 if you want it. I don't know, back then when I was trying to get 3d studio, I think there were to different company that release it or something. I dunno. If you want it let me know...how I dunno :P


Had it burn to and old CD, a little scratch up bit still good :P

hmmm... can't copy to HD.... I'm going try saving the CD.... I'll let you know if I can copy it to my HD.

If I can't. sorry and you'll never hera from me again :P

Program Name: 3d Studio Max
Website: http://www4.discreet.com/3dsmax/
Current version: 6
Desired versions: 5
Description: I so cannot afford this program but would love to try it out, so I tried downloading the trial from the site, but version 6 does not work with anything under Windows 2000 SP3. Does anyone have/no where to find version 5 for a trial or a full download?

[Liv]

I guess I'd be willing to try SOMETHING else... but it's that I would prefer tying 3DSM because I'm interested in renders for abstract 3d for web layouts and such. I have seen tutorials for what I'm interested in trying, so it'd be easy to start off.

I'm currently looking for older versions of 3ds Max, 6 or 7 will work. The current version on the company website is 8. If anyone has an older version of 3ds Max, please let me know.

[the gaffer]

you missed the sticky at the top of the forum How to request an app ,searchers need this info to assist them to find the files you require,you should also make requests in the request board.

Im looking for an old version of 3d studio max. I need version 2.5 3.0 or 3.1 and I cant find them anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?

[the gaffer]

please refer to the pinned topic for making requests,this greatly increases the chances of searchers finding the file you are requesting.

[virtualmachine07]

Can someone please find a trial download site for 3DS Max. Thanks

Please take note of the pinned topic (http://www.oldversion.com/talk/showthread.php?t=1245) in the Request board which outlines the recommended way to make a file request.

Program Name:3DS Max
Website:www.autodesk.com/3dsmax
Current version:9
Desired versions:3 or 4
Description:The world's most widely used professional 3D modeling program.

I do not see an option for downloading a trialware or shareware version of this product. Requests for a full version which is not FREE is not permitted on these boards.

[virtualmachine07]

I do not want a full version.I want a trial version.

[locustfurnace]

Gotcha. Did not see the link for downloading the trial version the first time.

I am not going to go through the process of filling out the forms to download a current version just so I can snag the filename, which is what would need to locate an older version. Maybe someone else may know the filename to seek, or feel like going through the registration process.

Simply searching for the program, turned up this bit of information. This is in reply to someone else seeking versions 3, 4 and 5.


Max 3 uses a hardware lock and will require updated drivers unless you are running Windows NT 4 or 98. You may have issues getting 4 and 5 to run on XP. 3, 4, and 5 all do work on Windows 2000 Pro SP4.

No one so far has been too keen to delve too deep into this incestous relationship, perhaps someone will supply the file name pointers and move it along. (http://www.oldversion.com/talk/showthread.php?&p=5713)

[locustfurnace]

Thanks for the pointer. Forgot this was asked for before. So threads will be merged.

Well my pc specs are pretty new; I built this computer not too long ago. My theory is the OS since I don’t see vista anywhere on the properties/comp ability anywhere. If this is the problem is there anything I can do?
