Wow. Yafray is looking pretty good. As is Blender's UI. I have years invested in Maya, but it might be time to take a peek at Blender again. It's definitely grown-up a lot from the pre-1.0 versions I played with. |

It has HDR (I didn't even know what this was until you brought it up. lol) through another program called Yafray. Yafray is open source also, I think. (Free. Yay. lol) and it is more commonly being used in tandem with Blender to produce the most photorealistic pics. Most people now are modelling with Blender and using Yafray for the rendering if they are making a pic or animation that they Really want to look realistic. |

I don't want to hear about the brain from someone that doesn't have one.
Nor do I want to hear about evolution from someone that hasn't evolved.
Not a problem. |

Looking great! Now if you give it to me in either 3DS or .X (DirectX model), I will toss a multi-user network client around it and a simple chat interaction. Then you could run a peer-to-peer chat around the model. I already have working framework to do that with 3DS and .X models, so it would only take a few hours. Basic collisions and ramp. My renderer is pretty fast for 1-50 people. If you have a GF Ti4600 or equiv ATI or better, you'd get 60fps on that model easily. |

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....not only am I not sure if I can save to a .X on this thing or not, yet, but I still got more to do with it before I know I'm going to be satisfied. Thanks, though, definitely, I'll be in touch about that. |

It looks awesome, You asked for my advice. well I started to get the most fun from art when people asked me to paint there cars or frigdes. I think it was to do with the full on rebel in me that loved that and that as you grow up people always say that you should not paint things like that. so that give me a buzz every time lol........ |

just wanted to say always put a healthy price tag on it see your self as a skilled tradesman people will respect the art more for example i could put two identical paintings out in different markets say one £50 one at £250 the two fifty will sell and people might walk straight past the other funny huh but true in fact when i put a big exhibtion on i am going to do exactly that sell two sculptures the same onew a £5 and one at £20,000 |

Oh yeah...and, to answer your question, I used Blender 3D |
|
Dream Journal: Dreamwalker Chronicles Latest Entry: 01/02/2016 - "Hallway to Haven" (Lucid)(Or see the very best of my journal entries @ dreamwalkerchronicles.blogspot)
Ah right - I downloaded that once. Free right? I Found the interface a bit confusing. I pretty much stick to Strata3D, mostly because the ease of use - and I used it a lot at a job I had once doing package and display design. |
|
Hmm. I heard Blender was one of the easiest interfaces around, but I haven't heard of Strata, yet, so I might check it out once I get a little better with Blender. I'm not sure how long ago you tried Blender, or if it's changed since then. But, trust me, if I can jump on Blender after having absolutely not one shred of 3d art experience, not even a class, and learn the ropes, anybody can! lol |

I downloaded Blender last year I think, early last year. The interface or the way objects were created seemed a bit too technical for me. It is possible it has changed since then. |

Damn, man. GOOD STUFF |
