HELLO ALL, My question is why is 3DS so expensive ? I have noticed that the AMIGA folks can get a 3d program that has better output for only about $300.00 what gives? What i want to do is create 3d objects then move the camera over several frames then use ANIMATOR to add special effects. BUT $3000.00 is a littlte hefty !!! If i bought a used AMIGA 2000 ( $800.00) and IMAGINE 2.0 ( $250.00) and CROSSDOS ( $40.00) i would acomplish my goal for $1090.00 SO… why is it that i can buy a COMPUER AND SOFTWARE to get 3d at one third the cost of 3DS ????
