Daniel,
Just eavesdropping, but I agree that that is a good price. I ordered the book
through a bookstore. Here's the information you'll need:
3D Modeling Lab
Philip Shaddock
Waite Group Press
ISBN 1-878739-52-2
The latest prices I know are:
Version 3.0 $695
Upgrade to 3.0 from 3D Modeling Lab version $300
Upgrade to 3.0 from 2.0 $100
Upgrade to 3.0 from 1.0 $200
Upgrade to 3.0 from Silver $300
Constant Update $100
However, I might have the prices wrong, so you might want to confirm them with
Impulse at 1-800-328-0184.
The Constant Update is a yearly charge for which you receive several revisions
throughout the year rather than one large one each year or so.
I've never used 3DS either, because it costs about $3,000! My guess, though,
is that many of the techniques you can develop in Imagine could be used in 3DS
if you decide to get that later.
Good luck.
Robert
