Is 3ds max free?
Is 3ds max free?
Not really, its for commercial use. However, there are licenses tailored for educational use too (students and academicians)
No, 3ds Max is not free. It is a premium subscription-based software by Autodesk. However, they do offer a free trial version, and students or educators can access it for free through Autodesk’s educational license program. For professional interior design and visualization work, the paid version provides advanced modeling, rendering, and plugin support that makes it worth the investment.
No one can try it in trail period but it's not free
