The latest version of 3D Studio Max (2012) is free for educational purposes, but only if you're affiliated with a recognized educational institution. The license is for something like 3 years.

Be warned that, even with the new versions of 3d Max, it's a frustratingly difficult program to learn. It's allegedly very powerful once you know how to use it, but it takes a LONG time to even figure out the basics. It's like trying to learn to fly on your own using a Boeing jumbo-jet.
