(and free) stuff is at your local bookstore. Many of the big chain
bookstores carry UK/British import graphics magazines - 3D World,
Computer Arts, and Digit to name a couple. These magazines come with CDs
on their covers that typically feature at least one "free" program.
These free programs are usually slightly older versions of some of
today's programs - which the software company are making available so
that you can get familiar with their product. For example on the past
couple months issues I have gotten Poser 3, Amapi 3D 5.1, Swish Lite,
Amorphium, Vue d'Esprit 2, Cinema 4D SE, gMax. Most of these are full
usable programs.
Heres a list of some free downloadable stuff also:
(note - I've removed the "http:" from in front of the web address - I
think posting this many links was tripping something at my isp which
made the post with these links fail to go through. You should be able to
just past the addresses into you web browser and hit enter.)
