895$ if you want PDF documentation or 995$ if you want the printed documentation (http://shop!.newtek!.com/fullversions!.aspx )

About whether it is any good!. It depends what you want to do!. Honestly, I find it quite outdated compared to other software out there: Maya, 3DS Max, XSI and a bit cumbersome because everything is split out in different applications that don't talk together!.

I would strongly suggest using Softimage XSI (http://www!.softimage!.com) for doing 3D modeling and animation!. It's probably the most intuitive, innovative and complete 3D software out there!.

They also have what they call a Mod tool which is a free version with some restrictions but is a good place to start without investing too much!. And if you're a student, you can get an academic version of the full-fledged XSI for very cheap!. Under 200$, I believe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

900 bucks!. Not many studios use it anymore though, you might be better off trying to get Maya, 3D studio, or Softimage XSI!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
