All you have to do is visit the website, create a registration, and download the software. The two software programs you will need to download and install before completing this tutorial are the 2011 versions of Maya and Mudbox. The final software that will take the place of AutoDesk 3DsMax (since it is a Windows only program) will be AC3D.
