Need your advice on the aforementioned software. I'd love to use Autodesk Flame but it is expensive. What are other options?

Nah. You just don't know where to look for good offers. But you will soon- when you finish reading this message. Just buy second-hand software, It will work just like the new one. And here's the place to get old design software . Visit the website and look for the offers, I bet you will find Flame there.

Good. Thanks for sharing this link here, that's as good as it gets. I'd even say that it is perfect.
