Software I need to be able to work

As you may (or may not) have noticed, I've finally found my vocation in life - I can make awesome 3D art! 
 

I have also found me some great people who want me to make it for them and with the support of my family I have been training with them for the last 6 months. However, to make the art/assets that actually go into the game, I need properly licensed software, which costs money. 

The software I need is Autodesk 3DS Max that comes in at £204.00 a month, £1,644.00 a year and £4,932.00 for 3 years. I will own the software not the company making the game alowing me to earn freelance as well.

Ideally, I would be working on the game in my spare time, whilst working to raise the money for this myself, but as some of you may also know, I’ve been unable to do any regular employment for over a year now due to ongoing chronic health issues.
 

My friends, (and they are now truly friends), that I'm working with are an amazing bunch of people who are all super dedicated to making a game that will make not only make money but be something people love to play.
 

So I'm asking for your help. It's a ton of money. A scary amount of money for me, but this is my future. I want to be able to support my family. I want to do a job that I am good at and that I enjoy and I need your help to get there. 
 

So, if you could spare £1, £10 or £100 anything in between, donations instead of Christmas/birthday presents etc., I would be incredibly grateful and **eternally in your debt**! 
 

We want to realease the game as soon as possible, so the sooner we get the licenses, the sooner we can start prodcution.
 

Thank you for getting this far and if you would like more details about the game we're making, click the link and see the wonders of Valley of the Crescent Mountain! Indiedb Facebook Youtube 

And the wonders of ME!!!
