How about using a trial version of 3dsmax? Is that valid?

Then it is a lot less restrictive than it seemed at first glance :)

for concept sketch there is no compulsion you can use photoshop or even scan the drawing. But when you create in 3d then use max and power nurbs pro.

Power nurbs for 60 days only for challenge participants, when the period is going to expire then just mail us 2-3 days before and we will extend your 30 days to 60 days.

Hi... Ashras...

This will be a very Unique Challenge...

Are we only Allowed to used the PNurbs, solely?

or can we use 3dsMAX tooLs Primitives and combined it with PNurbs Primitives.. vice versa..

Or, are we only allowed to use purely the PNurbs primitives in creating our concept vehicles entirely in this contest...

THANKS..

:)

Powernurbs is a plugin of max, so you have to create any vehicle in max using power nurbs features and tools. Hope this clear and still have any doubt then let me know and i will ask npower staff to clear the doubt by posting here.

hello ashras99

I have some question, because I download npower nurbs using link you add on the beggining. But this isn't 60 version, it's 30 days trial version and in this version I can't even change nurbs to poly when I will finished model (if I learn this plugin) and what more in the plugin I can't render this because there is some hiden polygon. So this version is complitly unusful, because we can't made last final render. Maybe I have only this all problems with this plugin. Can you help me??

regards
sjon
