Yeah, there are probably a ton of illegal copies of Max floating around here - luckily for me I had this gullible manager in an office I used to work in and was able to convince him how much we all needed Max, when it turned out that Max could'nt actually make coffee or answer the phone, it kinda gathered dust until adopted by me
.
The simple truth is that most people can't afford it, I know I could'nt find the money quickly if I needed to buy it. The thing is that there's no alternative sometimes, often Max saves my neck with a single feature. For example, limb pivot points! - the pivot points on limbs is something that Max just loves to put right, and Max is really the best tool in the box for prepping hierarchy animated models (mechanical stuff). Really Max isn't worth the money for what I use it for, not when you look at the packages that can easily get results in DBPro. Frankly if my copy exploded I would'nt buy it, I'd rather spend the money on 2 laptops and a couple of hundred quid worth of good value software
- but that's only because I'm working on my own modelling app, really if I still need max after that then I've failed.
Put those fiery biscuits away!
