Well, if you are more in to creating and designing stuff, I would say Autodesk Inventor. I must point out, Autodesk Inventor is a world class, super high end program for designing anything and everything mechanical and in between for eventual manufacturing. This is no mere 3D modeler, it requires some serious understanding of it. And at a cost of $5,295.00 for the full use license, it's not cheap. If you do manage to create something with it, by all means post it here....

Holy shit.

You must be loaded...

...or have a serious rebate going on

EDIT: Oh, just realized it was a trial version.

Well, there are "ways" for getting the full version for free, but I won't get in to that here, if you get my drift.

Of course there are, but he said they came in the mail, which seemed to me like he bought it. But you can order trial discs too if your connection is poopy.

Do you know how people are always getting unsolicited offers (SPAM) and links to download trail software on their email inboxes?

Well, a few of those same companies that fill your email inbox with spam sometimes send out stuff like CD-Roms filled with trail software through the regular postal mail service. Once your name and address gets listed on some database of software buyers, you too might start getting software CD-Roms through the mail. It's happened to me a few times over the years.
