I have 3d studio max 4, can I heLp?

[Mephisto]

Duping = duplication, create an excact copy of something.

Gmax and 3d Studio Max is almost the excact same, it\'s even made by the same people (isn\'t it?)
Although finding a good exporter for Gmax is hard, and if you find one it will most likely not work.
Nobody would hire you to use a program like that when you can\'t even make .mdl files for it, although if the gaming company has copies of 3dsmax for you, it\'d be great.
but as I said, anything I like, I buy, anything I don\'t like, I don\'t even use, and therefore don\'t buy either. (imagine buying something for 3000$ that you later on decide you don\'t need  8o)
That\'s why I would download something like 3dstudio max (although I havent) and buy it later on when i\'m sure im gonna need it.

Oh and by the way tcd, you made THE LIST

[Princess Aelya]

well cyo. i would do it to someone else because it isnt me...and they can deal with it. just like i deal with my problems.i doubt it will \"catch up to me\" and i doubt kazaa is spyware. can you show proof that its spyware? if not then i doubt it very much.i know the world doesnt revolve around me. and i never said it did.yes i can grab what i want whether i feel like paying for it or not. do u really think i care if i put anyone at a disadvantage by doing that? i sure dont.

Some of you people are self absorbed ass holes.  just because you say that you dont care if you are stealing does not make it right. but you still wont admit that it is wrong. WHY NOT?? also i you are so hard up for cash just buy a student copy. you go to school or college and can get a copy for 500 bucks. thats what i did since i am JUST LEARNING. that is what that copy is for. when i am doing work i will use my copy at work. AND cuz i am folowing THE LAW i get a free upgrade to max 5. some thing YOU wont be able to just download right away. Also if you cant aford somthing it is for a reason. maybe you dont deserve it maybe you are to dumb to work harder for the money cuz these programs are not always fun and games. If you want it and deserve it you will find a LEGAL way to get it. people like you \'princess\' make me sick.

[AendarCallenlasse]

Hehehehehehe this thread gets funnier and funnier.  Don\'t worry Aelya let em say shit.  I\'m a poor dumbass whos stealing from a bunch of big name American trash execs and damn proud of it.

[TheGeneral]

I just read the entire post, and i must say that i do agree with Spartan on some level. On one hand, the companies that make those programs do no suffer that much, since the number of ppl that bought the program versus the number of ppl that pirated it is fairly low. ALL of the big compabies, schools, universities, and colleges MUST have legal copies of the program that they want to use, and it must be on every single computer. So they still end up making a profit. Aendar and Princess, you two are by far the most selfish people i have seen, I mean, it\'s because of people like you that companies dump toxic waste into ocean, it\'s ppl like you that polute our enviorment and say that as long as it does not effect me, i could give a rat\'s @$$. WELL one day i hope it does effect you, and you will know what it feels like. Maybe it\'s just how old you are, but than again, even cyo understands that you will not get too far in life by being selfish. And maybe you should stop complaining about big companies, and how they fill their pockets because of you. They worked hard towards it, and made something of themselfs, that is why they are so big and rich. Maybe you should do the same? ?(

[AendarCallenlasse]

Yeah ok that makes absolutely no sense.  We\'re the reason that companies are dumping toxic waste?  We cause pollution??? what tha hell are you talking about.  I have a couple of pirated programs for gods sake.  And hell I\'d like to know how many of the devs on PS paid for their 3D progs.

[Spartan8]

thnx alucard. These ingnorant ass holes are already affected by piracy.  programs like these would not cost so much if they were not pirated Discreet comes out with updates every few years. this means that if you buy a copy of max 4 you are actually funding max 5 so if more people pay for it it will cost less. it is simple economics. these programs are not like stealing a carton of milk or a book. it is much worse. you are not wasting material money cuz it costs only a few cents too a few bucks to physically make these things. but unlike disposable goods like everything else the major costs that need to be paid are fixed costs. meaning that no matter how many units are made the same amount of money needs to be paid to the company.

and for all you ignorant bastages that are talking about \"not hurt snobby rich bussiness men\" or what ever you said...they are rich for a REASON. and i can garrauntee you that these people are not rich because they sat around and whined that it was too expensive to do something.

dammit you people piss me off. you feel that just cuz some one else has it i should too. well you shouldnt. my dad works from 8 in the morning untill 2 in the morning the next day to keep his company afloat. and i got news for ya HE OWNS THE BUSINESS. that means that he works for what he gets. his business is a little like the software business in legal terms. he designs machines. but if some one steals the designs they go to JAIL cuz its the real world and people understand what it means to work hard. maybe some of you people should actually try doing some honest to goodness hard work and then complain about not being able to afford some thing.

[Spartan8]

By the way, vengeance, can you please not lock this post or delete it? i would like to see where it goes. i think some people need to understand the real world, and some one else may have valuable input.

[Princess Aelya]

well how bout you all go \'buy\' a copy of all your little toys and help out the poor homeless business people.i know damn well its wrong but do you think i care? i wouldnt do anything to save money though. but i would go a certain leanth.yes i admit i am selfish when it comes to paying for things legally or snatching it illegaly for free.you see there is this thing called \'saving money\'. it lets you not pay as much or in this case not at all.and let you buy other things that you cant download off a computer. and this happens to be the best way to do that.i couldnt care less if its illegal.i dont care if i make anyone sick,or if i changed the way people think about me.i have always thought this way on this subject and nothing anyone says will change my attitude. this is a sensitive subject to me and i dont appreciate you people trying to change the way i think. whether you agree with it or not,its how i feel and by trying to change how i feel you are denying my freedom to be who i want to be and do what i want to do. is that not wrong also?

[elKano]

I do understand Aelya. I was the same not so far ago. And I keep thinking law is not always perfect, I only follow the rules I believe they are right.
But, I have slowly understood that people around me do deserve my respect for what they do. When I take the bus nowadays, I pay for my ticket because I think on that poor guy who suffers of the traffic all day driving his bus. When I like some music, I buy the CD because the musicians live with that money. When I like a soft and find it useful, I pay for it because I know the work that has been done on it.
When I see a tramp or a punk begging on the street, I give them some money because I respect them for their courage.
I understand the value of money and life. That is why I share my goods with the ones who deserve it.
But I do not pay for everything I use. There are things I don\'t admit. For example, I have not paid for the windows XP I have. I disagree with their policies, but I f**ing need their soft to use many other programs I need. So I have it. For free.
