They have a student discount and you should be able to get the 3D package for about 50 pounds. It's a rather good package but It woks mostly with NURBS. I know this may make things hard, but I know a canadian Mac-user that used it for a great net yaroze-presentation. And Hash said that RSD will be supported in future versions. (htt://www.hash.com) Two: Buy old versions of the software. At local stores I can sometimes buy older versions of software. I just bought Photoshop 3.0.3 for a bargain. I still use version 3 since I still like this version better than 4 or 5. Three: Buy "Computer Arts" or "MacFormat" from Future-publishing. Sometimes there are complete versions of software packages on the coverdisks. I already got: ColourIt, Bryce, Poser, Extreme3D, Apple Media Tool, etc. for FREE!! All complete versions Four: Cinema 4D (not the XL version) can be bought for a studentprice. And Cinema 4D XL is for sure the best (but not yet most supported) 3D program for mac. Lightwave 5.6 is also availeble for mac but has a PC-interface. Five: Well..... You can try the programs by borrowing them. You know the illegal way. I always need to be carefull with this. I don't wan't to support illegal software! But I do take software from school home to try or use it. DEnnis..
