I don't render much, but here's a couple.

 

[calladar]

what would be a good beginner program to use that will not cost me an arm and a leg and i can learn to use without a masters degree?

 

[wolfshui]

there are three major 3d animation programs out there, Lightwave, 3ds Max, and maya. If i remember correctly Maya is the only one that can be obtained free - legally. Correct me if i am wrong but i believe Maya is free.

and there are allot of free tutorials out there for all three.

 

[calladar]

thanks.. going to check them out now

 

[calladar]

i checked all three out and they all had 30 day free trials and cost about $900.00 or more.. ouch.. would probably take me more than 30 days to get started let alone learn how to do anything of any quality. any other ideas? something that might be complataple with pepakura?

Blender and Google sketchup are the free ones mainly used.both are good but I personally prefer blender.

Closest thing would be Blender.Free, but it's very hard to learn though.

Blender is a great program. It seems daunting at first but if you read some good tutorials you can know the basics in a few hours. It exports in most of the major file formats, including .OBJ which is what I believe pepakura needs.

The Blender wiki has all the tutorials you will need.

and you can get the program at the blender website.

Good luck with your modeling.

Could we stay ontopic? This is just for your best renders. Not for a blender discussion. here is the perfect topic to do so http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/23517-3D-Modeling-For-Pepakura-(Basic-3D-Knowledge-Aquired)
