yeah, It's the best free app for renders. Yes 3ds max is free with a student license but you have to put in your info.I use blender to render my schemes
Can you do Garage Renders? Also is it free?I do renders with Marmoset Toolbag 3.
Nope, I don't pay. Got the educational license. And now I'm trying to learn Blender so maybe I can venture in off in some commercial stuff at some point.
Blender 2.8/2.9 is really great. I can't overstate for a program that will always be free just how good it is when compared to professional Maya and 3Ds max. Blender gets so many new tools/features that are actually useful and good that Autodesk doesn't even have in their 3d packages. And if by some chance the out of the box blender you download its not included there are tons of user created add-ons that are free or really cheap to enhance the program even more.
If people are just wanting to do NR2003 then yeah 3ds is fine especially since the older 3ds programs are what made NR2003 and you need those for mods. But if you are looking to do other 3d work and for commercial use Blender is really great. Its not this crap niche program it used to be known for in its pre 2.7 days. Professional studios now back the program so its gained a lot of traction since 2.8 came out and it became more industry standard with its toolset and interface navigation.
Do you have to put in like Credit Card Info or anything for 3ds's student licence?Nope, I don't pay. Got the educational license. And now I'm trying to learn Blender so maybe I can venture in off in some commercial stuff at some point.
Here's an idea, go find out!Do you have to put in like Credit Card Info or anything for 3ds's student licence?
It's been a few years so I can't remember. I don't think I did. But one thing I do remember doing is researching schools offering a game design class or digital arts class and used the school name when it asked for it. They might have a list of approved schools in their database when you register for the student edition, I don't know, just guessing there. So trying to play it off as legit as you can might help.Do you have to put in like Credit Card Info or anything for 3ds's student licence?
