HI there,
i was wondering if anyone knows the legality with making video tutorials using software ie 3DS Max etc to illustrate the particular process,
I plan not to make them technical so much but will still need to implement 3DS MAX etc.

Is it legal to sell these tutorials that show my tutorial in max etc?
I know others do it, jut wondering....

I think you should ask Autodesk about this. Every official tutorial I've ever bought (mostly dvds) had advertising / copyright notices of the software used too. Like Photoshop, Corel Painter IX and also 3DMAX, MAYA.

If you want to sell it, I think you better ask them about this. It advertising for them too, so I don't think you have to pay anything to them per say,

Cheers
