I do, check out my wacko-matic for wallpapers

accually, whydo you ask?

hey... I use it but it is the way old version. Mostly for Architecture work and animation. I am going to put it to use for some wallpaper (animated wallpaper for DX too!!!) making soon.

but yeah... why do you ask??? got a plan???

because i looked at it online at discreets website and it is quite expensive... i was wandering if it is worht buying . i'm starting college and i'm taking computer graphics and animation and i was wandering if it was really worth the money

I'm taking 3ds Max classes, its awsome software, but not worht the cash to just make wall paper.

Version 5 of 3ds Max is due out this fall. Editable Meshes will no longer be needed and version 5 will automaticaly patch holes on the polygons. I am hearing version 5 will rock......

I've got 3

get it, but don't buy it if you know what i mean...
hint hint kazaa hint hint

Hey, Vanilla, thanks for the hint.
I also need a new car but I don't have the cash for it. Do you know where I can get a stolen one?

Go to the car park on Staunton Island. There are lots to choose from there. The best ones are on the top level though and there is a good jump for getting insane bonuses.

Oops. Sorry. Wrong Messageboard.

pjpowell runs back to the GTA3 messageboard.

no i don't steal. i just copy. nobody is losing money by me downloading games or apps cause i wouldn't buy them in the first place.

Oh sorry.
Anybody knows where I can get a Porshe without paying for it? It's not theft since I would never buy the Porshe in the first place...

Don't try to give yourself a good conscience Vanilla. As your mom probably told you years ago: taking without paying is THEFT. Don't kid yourself.

i use Hash's ANimation:Master, good solution, speedly, quality renders, incredible animation options, lots off addons (fur, particles, fisics, radiosity, the BEST cel shader on the market), good deliverance times if you purchase (4 days Canada-Spain!!!!!!)...
... and the most important reason: IT'S VERY ECONOMICAL.
Other great solution is Caligary TrueSpace (now in Version 6).
Try also OpenFX, it's free

Sure, MAX is AWESOME, but it's way too expensive, especially if you're a college student and your dad isn't George Bush Sr.

I've never used OpenFX, but it does look pretty dang good. Check it out here: http://openfx.org/news/index.php

Dig around share/freeware sites. There's some pretty nice renderers there. They may lack the polish and advanced features of MAX, but they're a great starting point
