in CGI and Programming
Hey guys,

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but...

Who is using what for their renders, and why?

Thanks

    Lightwave 5.6 and Photoshop 5 for me. As for why... only because they're the best programs around. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    A2597, look at the bottom of the topic, you'll see a link that says "Archive/Move". You do it there. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Heartsblade:
    you'd be surprised how many people read the CGI forum. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?
    well, the programs most people use would be Lightwave, 3D Studio MAX and then of course Blender [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Lightwave and soon Maya as well. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Still use Lightwave 5.6c heavily. I have a large investment in plugins that I can't afford to bring up to version 7.0b yet.

    I have 6.5b and 7.0b as well, still on the learning curve for those... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

    Next is MAYA 2. Soon to be a educational version 4, like Biggles said.

    I use Photoshop 6 almost entirely for image/2D work, along with a whole host of plugins to cut down work time.

    I use many, many things, bt your question was specific to art/3D... [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]

    Speaking of Photoshop, can anyone point me to some [b]good solid[/b] tutorials that cover more than one specific area?

    Cinema XL 7 all the way, and Photoshop/Freehand for textures. Tried the Lightwave demo and Blender, but couldn´t make heads or tails of them... got to little spare time on my hands to figure them out.
    Next on my list will probably be the Maya Personal edition (though I have no idea where I should squeeze out the time to learn another program), to see where all the buzz for Maya comes from...

  • PJHPJH The Lovely Thing
    Lightwave 5.6c and Photoshop 6.0.

    Why? Because I have found them to be the best tools for me.
