namelessness SG Sharing a wallpaper with a 3d 'Gin' (Tranquility) Chinese calligraphy by MKY, hope you like it. Rendered with 3DSMAX & Mental Ray, Click to enlarge it to 1280x960
longchen SG Very nice rendering. I do rendering also... using Blender 3D which is a very good free program! http://www.blender3d.com
namelessness SG I'd seen some of your works. They are excellent. Youre a pro. Im just a amateur. Works of Blender 3D look great. Ill get a copy and try it out when I am free.
An Eternal Now SG Yes, Longchen's rendering are great too. I think he specialises in graphic designing. The wallpaper Namelessness made was also great. When I have time maybe I should start learning 3d rendering. Looks fun.
An Eternal Now SG Wow, from what I know most 3D rendering programs cost a bomb. Does it lack any features and is it easy to use?
longchen SG Hi Eternal Now and Namelessness, Thanks for the compliment. I am a product designer by profession so 3D graphics is my rice-bowl. About Blender, it is as powerful as professional programs. In fact there are movies being made with it! But, it is not as easy to understand (at first) when compared to professional package. But the online manual on the website is quite good. In my workplace, i use a very expensive 3D software call Alias http://www.alias.com/glb/eng/products-services/family_details.jsp?familyId=3900046 and i still think blender is more fun to use!
