well, in 3D I have gameSpace Lite, Bryce 5.5, Carrara 3D express, Poser7, daz|studio and a slew of freeware like wings3D and anim8or, I am looking to pick up better tools with this springs disbursement, but that is a good month away.
It wont be max, but I may see about XSI, I heard they have a good platform for about $500, I need to stay away from heavy educational licenses, ones that restrict making money...trying to get a studio off the ground.... any suggestions ? I'm looking at Silo2 and gameSpace...really, for the price, gS is a great tool, and 2.0 will be better, and yes I know some of the company from some phone calls, good people, but right now, the current version is pretty crippled. Hexagon is a possibility, but Carrara Pro, I have the light version...Express...beautiful photoreal render, but get kinda cpu-sluggish at times...
would love to use tools from the big boys, but I have an aversion to warez...I wanna make money legitimately...
so, I usually render in Carrara or gameSpace..which is pretty quik...someday I will have better tools, but for now, what I can afford, I will get comfortable with...
thank you for answering the questions, i want to stay in line with you guys, though I know I'm far behind. So I will look the mesh over, and get ready, but will stick to under 90 Mins for actually doing anything to them.
I think I will use the "poster" I made awhile back... it is at
TacticsRebirth.net a game i am working on...a TBS like FFtactics...will have graphics like baldurs gate diablo2 or fallout series... now to learn the code I need to make it run...pretty simple stuff in the long run really, just iso movent code and db calls, but I digress...
