I was wondering if anyone could send me one of those "New Features" lists about 3DS R2.I also was wondering how much it costs. Thanks, Daniel

I know that, I've already downloaded the 3DS R3 and R4 files.I just don't have the moola(money) to buy them.I was hoping that R2 would be a little less expensive.I have no idea how much R2 costs though.And I don't know what features it has either.That's why I asked if someone could tell me where a file is on 3DS R2.Also I wish they could tell me how much it costs.

I would agree 3DS is an investment. The R2, R3, R4 are releases of the serial improments of the software over time. The question might be if Autodesk allows software transfer and if they will give you an idea how to best find owners of prior release. I would think it would be good for all. I learned about Autodesk in 1987 and watched AutoCad grow in price. When I saw Animator for $200 direct from Autodesk, I knew it also would grow in value (value and price are realted but not equal, :). 3DS is a product that has yet to reach the peak of its value in my opinion. I base this on the increasing CPU power capability of the individual (vs. the corporation) . . . I think in many ways it is time/turn around that requires higher CPU &/or RAM power. Files size and how to get final output are another set of issues. Bottom line, 3DS is a pro-tool and people can make their living using this program. …. I expect we should await the R! of the Autodesk Virtual Reality Program, … really jhg
