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 (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

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

YASRT is a stochastic raytracer. It stands for Yet Another Simple RayTracer.

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.

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?

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.

Try the free Blender. in my previous post, it should do anything your looking to do.
