I was getting bored with the regular forums just now so came i here. All I can say is DAMN YOU GUYS ARE GOOD! I was just wondering, what program(s) do you use to make these renderings? I was thinking of starting , myself. Also, do you have any tips for a beginner?

    I use Blender, because it's free.
    Some real experts use Lightwave, but that costs over $2000. There are a lot of programs in between, but if you don't have any money, get Blender.

    Yeah, Quality comes at a price, but who cares? [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

    Yup, Lightwave is the best, but if you don't want to spend that much money, you can get a lite version called Inspire($500 U.S.). It's just missing a few features that can be replaced with plug-ins. Of course Blender's free, but you get what you pay for.
