So, you're a moviemaker? And you want to use 3ds max? Well, that's a pretty expensive program isn't it? What's that? You can't afford it? Well, there's always the other way.. the legal way.

First off, the most important thing is that you are a student (I'm a high school student myself and therefore have a student e-mail, which will be required later). Now that we've confirmed that you're a student with a student e-mail, here's what you do:

First off to go this website: http://students.autodesk.com/ Afterwards, you press this button.

Then you sign up just as you usually would, EXCEPT instead of the school's e-mail you enter your own student e-mail (-link-)

After this step, you log onto your student e-mail and wait for the until you get an activation key.
Activate your account and download 3ds max free of charge.

You're welcome and enjoy.

(notes:
You can only keep the programming for the remaining time you are in school
You can download more programs than just 3ds max
I have not tested this outside my school, so not sure if it work's for everyone. If you try it, please tell me if it works or not so I can update the thread
