Where do I buy 3ds max? Can other (cheaper) 3d modeling programs import .max files? For example I heard that Blender can import .obj files. The reason I ask this is because when I search to buy art then I usually get .max or .3ds models for sale.

Where do I buy 3ds max? What about 3D Studio which makes .3ds while 3ds max makes .max files. I thought they were the same thing. Where can people buy 3D Studio instead of 3ds max?

Where do I buy 2d art and 3d .x file art + animation? Is the 3d model format parser used to convert other formats to .x file format? Or do you mean I need to buy the full Maya in order to load a maya file and then export an .x file?
