I ordered an educational discount version of 3D Studio about 6 weeks ago through a local Autodesk dealer who said that the order would take a couple of weeks. The check was cashed early February but still no sign of the product. All the dealer can say is "It should be in by the end of the week." (repeated for the past two weeks.) What takes so long? What do you have to do? I bought the product to use in my school work but the semester is already half over! Ian.

I called all over trying to get 3ds at student discounted prices and was told on numerous occasions that there was no such beast. Is it release 2? What did you pay for it (hope you don't mind me asking)? What is your dealer's name and number? thanks much DannO

I bought it through Washington Computer Service in NYC. After tax and variou charges the price comes to about $860.00. I believe that you have to be either an educator or grad student (I'm in the latter catagory.) Yes, it is version 2. I hope your'e not in a hurry though, It's been six weeks since I placed the order and all I've seen so far is my cancelled check. Ian.

Dan, there's no *student* discount. There's a discount for institutions and staff, tho', that was running at about $750 6 months ago. David Taffet

Ian: See message thread on "student-pricing for 3ds" in this forum. I have been told by Autodesk there is no "student" pricing for 3ds. Ken
