| Message | Lightwave: A very excellent program.
 Used to make the M&Ms in the commercials.
 Used for 3D in Babylon 5.
 Used in "Titanic".
 3D Studio Max:Doesn't render as well. Has a certain "look" from what I've seen. Though
 some people really like it.
 $3,495.
 Maya:Awesome but very difficult program.
 Used in Shrek, Monsters Inc, Ice Age.
 $1,999 for the good version; $6,999 for the best version.
 $1600 isn't looking so bad now, is it? And if you're a student, you can get it for like $300-$400.
