Where can you buy it? How much will it cost? Is there anything better out there?

I like 3DS Max R3, personally. I don''t like R4 quite as much (familiarity rules). Some people like Maya more. Others like Lightwave and then finally some like Blender.

3DS Max is expensive (about $2500 last I checked) unless you get a student version for around $800-$900 (last I checked), but then you cannot use it for anything commercial and you must have student ID.

As for where you can buy it... I concur with jenova; use a search engine. I''ve never found it retail in a store. From my experience you must order it online and I know you can do this from Discreet.com. There are probably some other places. For the student version, try journeyed.com

Good luck

You can get gmax for free. It''s at discreet''s page.
yep, you can get the gmax = 3dsmax lite for free.

in any case, Maya is the best, tough is "quite" expensive.

$2500! That''s expensive. I''ll try gmax out instead. Also, are you sure that no store (like BestBuy, Staples, OfficeMax, etc) sells 3DS MAX, or the student version?
Yea sure ... I bought my version. I swear. NOOOO, not the police.
