Paul – I moved your message to Section 10 "Shipping/Receiving".
I can't speak for Autodesk but I can't imagine them offering to
"upgrade" you from Anipro or R12 to 3DS. These are three distinct,
functionally different programs. Kind of like asking Microsoft for an
upgrade from Excel to Word…

That's pretty much what Ithought, but I have to investigate all avenues
before I report back that we have to spend $4000 (Canadian dollars) on a new
rendering package.
In the absence of any "upgrade" policy from dissimilar Autodesk products, I
seem to recall once seeing an offer where Autodesk would give a price break on
3D Studio to users of other commercially marketed rendering packages (we
currently use one called RenderStar from Modern Medium). Do you know if
something of this nature might still be operating ?
