whats the difference?

i just finished reading the thread on pirated software (lets not get started on that again) and it jogged my memory about a completely different topic. What is the difference between 3D Studio Max, and KPT?

Thousands of dollars. :D

No, 3DSMax is a 3D program, and one that most would love to use, but can't afford.

KPT is a plugin set of filters for Photoshop.

are the filters worth it? are they really cool and useful? Approximately how many are there?

Ive never used KPT, but there's a couple of filters it has that alot of people seem to like.

maybe i should look into that badboy...

Well if you are a student, you can get software for MIGHTY cheap. Although you are only supposed to use it as long as you are a student.

I picked up 3D Studio Max from Journey Ed (http://www.journeyed.com) for only something like $700. I only wish I would have waited until this winter now, because it'll probably be cheaper then, and I don't have the time to play with it now.
