Does anyone know where you can still get 3ds max 2010/2011/2012?

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to get into creating animations for skyrim and I have access to 3ds max, but only the latest versions (2014-16). From what I know it's not possible to import .nif files with those versions though, because the plugins for it were made for the older versions. So I'm kinda stuck :C

 

I'd be absolutely grateful, if someone could send me in the right direction here. I know there are a quite few talented animators here and I guess they had to get a compatible version of 3ds max from somewhere too. :3

 

Or if someone knows of an alternative for 3ds max for creating animations, I'd also be happy to hear your input.

 

Anyways, thanks in advance!

That's where I got 2014/15/16, I can't select anything other/older version there :/

That's very strange. Seems like they've removed the old versions :/

:C Is there any other way to get access to 2012 or earlier? Or is that the only place?

Grab 2014 ASAP and try the plugin discussed here:

I am still using 2012 because 2013/14 kept crashing on my machine but according to that thread the updated 2013 plugin works for 2014.

someone here should have a copy of it,  if someone is willing to share it that is, I would of but I too am in need of it since My HDD crashed & I lost everything.

Supertin/Zquad1 - I'm gonna be too busy for the next few days but I might be able to sort something out after that.
