I think Gebe has mentioned before that there is a contest going where you have to produce an image with Cinema. Zo be able to do so Maxon gives away their full version 6 for free, Windows and Mac. Beside the magazine Gebe has mentioned (PC Magazin in Germany) it was on my MacUp (german magazine as well) too. But more interesting for you probably is the note i read today in the ComputerArts newsletter today: COMPUTER ARTS 88 EXCLUSIVE: CINEMA 4D 6 CE - FREE! In our October issue, Computer Arts is teaming up with Maxon to bring you a full version of top 3D package, Cinema 4D 6 CE - a PAL resolution limited version of the widely acclaimed Cinema 4D XL 6, originally sold for 1395.
