Can someone summarize for me why I may want max design 09 over max 09? My intentions are pretty much limited to architectural rendering at this point. I am an autocad architecture 09 user. Ready go hard & heavy on learning. Pardon my ignorance if that is the case but haven't I heard thet the lighting analysis feature of max design can be used for LEED certification purposes. That would be a big plus for me as I am in the process of certification in green building. I guess thre aren't any price breaks for ACA subscription members? And finally, what is the price differrence between the 2. I've been quoted 4k for a subscriptio copy of 3ds max 09. Hope I can do better but not seeing it anywhere??
Thank You,
Phil
