3D Max to the minimum requirement

So I was planning to buy 3D Max software after been using it in CPA class. I check at the nearest challenger store but they don't seem to have any so i decided to go to their website and the price. Well, it was ridiculously HIGH! It cost over $3000 which consist of the software and other random stuff. Well, I don't really want to resort to piracy which is bad but I really like that software. It's makes a really cool 3D animation and images and stuff. Imagine if I had that Autodesk 3D Max, I could be making cartoon characters in 3D or even a 3D movie. And there is the other software which I been using for my TDM(Team Death Match err, 3D modelling something) which is the Rhinoceros program. It's a slightly easier to use, 3D making software but with more precisition much like designing stuff in DNT back when I was in Secondary. It's a really good software but it too cost over $3000. It's only for the rich and commercial uses I think not for domesticated purpose. Probably in the future, we might have a domesticated version of these softwares and you could buy them like any videogames in store.
