I am thinking looking to get a better 3d software package then Poser or bryce4. I am looking at Lightwave6 or True Space4. I would love to have 3D Studio Max but can't afford it. I am looking for a program that gives me the most bang for my buck at creating models and props and has a great render engine for creating and animating scenes. I am currently a student so I can use an educational discount to purchase some software. I can get Lightwave 6 for $900, which is a great price but stil pricy for me. Or I can get True Space for $280. Both use the same rendering engine and I must say that I am impressed by the work I have seen using True Space. Does anyone have any feedback for me? I would appreciate it. Thank You Lilmikee

Lightwave. If you can afford it, don't even consider it any longer.

True Space is dirt cheap I have the light version number 3 that came with a computer arts magazine. It cost me $20 canadian. Though I put every thing to gether for rendering and animation in poser.
