True, but have you heard the saying - Pick the right tool for the job? It does have some truth to it.

Doesn't really apply when both 3DS and Blender are both the right tools for the job.
Blender also gets alot more updates.

I used to use blender, when I actually was modeling with it. I Dled it again a few weeks ago, I still could hardly do squat with that wacky UI. The worst part was some functions weren't finished, some essential things couldn't be done! I couldn't pan the viewport, use the middle mouse button to do anything, etc. I tried fiddling with the button maps but it didn't help. The point is, the thing went through a recent redesing and it might just be me but it does not work completely. They should have implemented essential functions first.

There is no point to using Blender versus everything else that's available.

Good luck paying $1300 for Modo or nearly $3K for 3D studio max respective for full licences.

Student Edition.

Student Edition.

NOT EVERYONE IS A STUDENT.
Student edition is not a get out of jail free card you can use.

You really don't have to be a student to own a student license. It's free for 3 years. The only catch is that you cannot use it for any kind of profit, perfect for learning or honing your skills.

You need to have details relating to your educational center.

And generally an email account through them. Like I'm using Autodesk's student stuff. But when you first start it you have to have used a school email.

Aside from personal preference, student status, finances and goals!!

Pretty sure I went over this yeah??

Sounds to me like you booted it up for two seconds, didn't like the UI and went back to your beloved pirated 3ds max to mod Halo some more and to hell with any other software out there!

Could you even give me one valid reason based on your personal experience outside of Halo max scripts why you think 3DS is "better?"
