Dear Daniel, I have been using AutoCAD 12 since third or fourth quarter of 1992 and 3D Studio since the day before Thanksgiving last year. I am just a beginner in using 3D Studio. AutoCAD 12 is fairly easy to use and it has commands that I need to make 3D drawings of objects. 3D Studio is harder to use than AutoCAD 12 but it is not frustrating to use. I have never used 3D Studio program before the day before Thanksgiving last year. I need third-party books on using 3D Studio. I can't afford to go to Autodesk Training Center. Jeffrey.
