For anyone who was thinking of trying Motionbuilder the animation programme out, the August edition of the UK mag '3d World' has a full years licence for the personal edition of Motionbuilder, normally sold for $100 on it's cover cd.

Comes with licence and technical support and access to tuts and things. No catch it seems (I have read carefully through it all as I dislike things which are not really offers at all).

Bit of fun for anyone who can find a copy in their local WH Smiths etc; I spotted it while buying a paper and thought it might be fun to play with. Has a Maya plugin thingy and one cannot argue with free Try anything once.....
