I believe autodesk licenses are non-transferable.

Yeah. One cannot help wonder why. Non-transferable licenses don't stop piracy.

@ scostumatu: fine looking image.

Thanks for the info scostumato. I know it will take alot of practice and trial and error. I will apply the tips you've advised and dive on in.
Keep up the great images!

Here is a good site to learn the basics:

You can choose modeling or rendering for noobs.

scostumatu that really is a nice render.

Autodesk have sent an email around today offering upto £900 off the software, so may be time to bag a bargain...

Always found Ramy's site http://3dsmaxrendering.blogspot.com/ to be a great source for when i transfer from sketchup to max.

Must agree max 3d is brill i make loads of models in SU export in 3ds load into max 3d and even export back to su and use Kerky or thea.

If I can muster up some new clients, that offer sounds great. I think the SU to Max (to Thea ) process could be a great work-flow!

[Scostumatu]

heres another couple of images i produced out of my latest project. No where near perfect (modelling is a little out) and the garage/porch column materials too reflective... but you get the general idea

let me know what you think

I'm wondering if one can buy 3dsmax second hand, maybe an earlier version like 2009 or 2010 at a great price? Maybe ebay?

with the export dae files Blender makes nice grass for free do all your standard build in SKP. then export to blender for some nice animations and rendering
just a cheep option from MAX3d

Where do you live? The European Union recently ruled that software is owned by the purchaser and can be resold.

Just small color correction and a little bit contrast. Hope you do not mind.
