Phil: >> Someone's made an offer to sell me their V 2.0 of 3DS, essentially for the >> price of their upgrade, which I feel is a decent price for this version. Decent? That's a fantastic price for a full copy of 3DS 2.0 or 2.01a! However, I couldn't be quite sure exactly what you meant – is your friend upgrading to Release 3 and selling you his old Release 2 when he does? If so, all legalities aside, remember that you don't get a new hardware lock with an upgrade! Only one of them will be usable, so be careful what you are buying! >> Will there still be support for earlier versions here? Most questions from 3D Studio users are generic enough to apply to both versions, although there will be specific features of 3 that have no comparison in release 2. >> (and this version needs all the support it can get!) Again, I'm not sure what you meant by this, but having used it professionally for 1-1/2 years, the only disadvantage of release 2 is that it isn't release 3! The program is stable and feature-rich, there were portions that many users didn't even get a chance to master before release 3 came out! Release 2 will keep someone happy for a while, at least until they can spare the $497 for the upgrade to release 3! Greg Pyros
