Cheap for a proffesional 3d program (forget about Bryce I said proffesional lol), if your a student you can buy an educational version which is what i did...... Maxon's Website (Cinema 4D
I will see, although it's still very expensive And maybe the program is too difficult for me. Can you learn it on yourself? Or do you really need to study for it.
i learned the whole thing myelf, its taken me about 18 months to get to the standard im at now, i think thats slow learning aswell really, take a look through my gallery and you'll see some of my better pieces.................
