computer programs for renderings??

2D hear Modo has good capabilitys but never seen it..Same with Mentalray

For render engines mentalray is...meh. Vray is pretty much the industry leader now adays. If you can get a good hdri then you are golden.

Maya and Max are commonplace, modo is up and coming and is getting a lot of buzz with their 3d modeling, but they only have a vray beta right now.



turbosquid is hit and miss. there are some great models and some are absolute junk. if anyone wants me to take a quick look at a potential model, feel free to hit me up. (credentials: I'm a 3d modeler for feature films. I've built Iron Man suits, real steel robots, Transformers etc..)
