Hey everybody, I've got a friend running a graphic design business and he does a lot of 3D illustration as well as 2D illustration. His key applications are notepad, PhotoShop, and 3D Studio Max. Due to the high cost of licensing for all those programs, and Microsoft Windows 2000, he is looking for an alternative. Now, notepad is easy to find an alternate for, the alternate for photoshop is the Gimp, and there doesn't appear to be much of a learning curve between those two programs either as far as shortcut keys, etc. Unfortunately, I have no idea what a good alternative to 3D Studio Max would be... I'm hoping that you guys might be able to help out. If we can find a suitable alternative with only a slight learning curve, it may be enough for me to use to get him to try out a linux based solution on one of his PCs until he becomes comfortable enough to use it on all of them. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing them. As well as any other Graphic design/web based programs that would be helpful in swaying him... Unfortunately, I don't do much graphics work, so I'm not too familiar with what is available. Thanks all, Lyric Current Linux kernel 2.4.3-20mdk uptime: 11 days 6 hours 27 minutes.
