3D Max is a very high-end 3D graphics suite, it assumes that you know the

basics of 3D modeling.

I don't know the exact pricing, but I can tell you that it is not cheap.

There is a plugin called Illustrate! 4.1 which is available at

http://www.davidgould.com that can export files to .swf format making it

easy to get into Flash.


>Any tutorials on this subject?


There is a very steep learning curve for 3D Max. The program comes with good

documentation, including tutorials and there are a lot of sites out there

that have tips and tricks to learning Max. There are also books available

that will help you learn.


Good Luck
