Yeah CAD programs of all sorts cost something more then what you would get if you sold your wife and kids into slavery and hocked all non vital organs.

One of the reasons (though there are quite a few) as to the cost is piracy. So many people rip off these products that they have to charge through the nose to recover production costs, of course this then forces more people to rip them off, which drives up the prices further. It's quite the vicious cycle. (I present any piece of Adobe software as evidence of this cycle)

Hey, I wonder if I could take one of the armour models from Mass Effect and use them as armour...
Nah. I suspect the format would be too uncooperative to do that. Looks like I'm doin' it the manual way... Poppy, get on it.


That is a joke.

Commander Shepard armour IS space marine armour. Except cooler because it's Commander Shepard.

You see Warhammer has been around a loooooooong time. So when you compare something to warhammer or 40k you need to realize you are going up against something that has more cannon to it, more history, and more text then even the longest of movies.

So us old in the bone players tend to take offense when you suggest some simple game with a mere 3 parts to it on less them 120 hours of text and suggest is its one note main character is some how cooler then then someone from the likes of the games work shop.

No offense ME is ok but it is nothing compared to the stacks on stacks of material and story in just one of the factions of the warhammer setting.

Now I haven't been involved in anything GW in a good few years, and I will never buy and paint the models again, but I still think the backstory and the whole universe of it is inherrantly cool.

I played a lot of warhammer and 40K back in the day. GW tends to be a bit overly testosterone driven fantasy but they do it well and they know how to work it. So it is a vary good universe and with decades of writing it just gets really deep.

Though truth be told my favorite will always be the Skaven.

I had a nice vampire lords army with no skeletons, they were all zombies. And the elite units, I forget their name, I replaced their skeleton heads with zombie heads... mah zombie horde was awesome :D

Yeah, no.

It's a professional product for professionals. Coding for 3d isn't peanuts either and stuff like inverse kinematics is academic stuff.

It costs a lot because the development isn't cheap. That's one part of it. The second part is monopoly. The fourth part is solid gold toilet seats. Then somewhere on the end of the list is piracy. As I've mentioned, this is a professional product. Not meant for the masses. If they want it, great, it's not meant for them though. It's for fatcat studios that have the dosh to afford it.

At least Adobe have (or had, in CS4) an academic version of their software, enabled me to save something like $150 on it :D

I miss my 3ds max :(. when my computer crashed I lost that along with my cs3 bundle. Also on another note why 3ds got more expensive is that the also finally bought out their biggest competitor so they really have us by the short hairs their[DOUBLEPOST=1366204122][/DOUBLEPOST]and also I used to play a little warhammer and 40k
