3rd party accessory programs are usable, some people I've seen use Cebas|Final Render, Brazil, Mental Ray before it was fully adapted into MAX. People out there use Maya, Blender, etc, and that's fine. However, if you go somewhere, say like 3Dcafe, and take a model and put it in your animation, that is laying claim to a third party, even if it is free. The only option I've used with Brazil is the global illumination and the bucket rendering, both of which can be done in the MAX 6 version with mental ray.

What's to stop people from saying that about a car or something? "Well, looks like I can't make this, so I'll just take it and put it in the animation." It screws over people who actually did all the work, like the teams agreed to when they sent in their consent forms.
