"(...oh. Max. You realize that if you still have that registered version of AM from 1997 you can upgrade to the latest verson for 99 bucks? Love that AM upgrade path. Skip as many versions as you like, upgrade 10 years later for 99 bucks. lol.)"

Are you serious? They'll allow an upgrade dating back that long? That's amazing. Actually, I still do have the software somewhere about. I haven't used it in a loooong time though. They also sent a video tutorial on vhs back then. I remember because my computer at the time was in one room, and my TV in another. To do some of the examples they were demonstrating on the video, I had to keep pausing my VCR, running into the other room and make a few mouse moves, then back I ran to the TV again. LOL.

"I thought I read somewhere that South Park uses 3d Studio Max to make their cartoons."

South Park uses Maya. However, 3dsmax was used for the cell shading in Ghost in the Shell 2, and Ghost in the Shell-based series, "Stand Alone Complex", among other things. Message edited on: 03/08/2006 16:28
