Yeah I want to get into a bit of 3d to boost up my multi-skilling, heh, but can't afford to buy a proper prgram atm.
I was looking at gmax, is that any good, is there anything for free that is better, something simple enough to learn on, or should I just go with gmax even tho it cant render, can it?
oh well anyone who's been thru this or knows about this stuff, heeelp!
Cheers

I use gmax simply for the fact it's free and easy to learn on. It's also very similar to 3dsmax which means that i can change to Max quite easily later. But if you have broadband download the 30 day trial version of 3Dsmax from discreet.com. There are also a lot of other learning editions like as makk said. Max is great because it's very widely used which means their are a lot of tutorials. Also don't choose a program by the gallery on it's website (someone told me this long ago and it is good advice) I saw the Maya gallery and got the learning edition because of that. But it is a hard program to get into if you are a n00b like me.
