Raytracer/moddeler - ---Turbo Fx--- - 10-20-2003

For my new project i was looking for raytracers cq modellers, to draw nice intro sneakpeaks, or evens movies.
I tried POV-RAY, but it's textbased and its pretty hard to master, does anyone know of an easy to use (free, ain't realy nescesarry (kazaa hehe))...

I need to draw pretty complex objects, i tried using raydream, wich was good, but still not very easy...

I don't know if it raytraced but anim8or (http://www.anim8or.com) is good and free


Raytracer/moddeler - Ninkazu - 10-20-2003

anim8or? Jeez, if you want something free, at least use blender

You mean an8 is no good? Well if that's your opinion...
(I'm not going to start a flamewar...)
I hard that blender is hard to use (I have never used it),
and personally I think an8 is easy to use and has a nice GUI
so If youre new in 3D art then you can maybe learn the basic stuff
in an8 and then move on to for example blender...

And Nink: There's alsso better/faster programming languages
than QB but still there is this wonderful board here dedicated to QB
:wink: Tongue :lol:

Thanks dudes.. 8)

That anim8 proggie looks realy cool, it took me less than a minute to draw a nice looking object... Big Grin And its pretty small, i'll see what I can do with it. Haven't tried blender yet...

Well I don't know what experience you have in 3D graphics
but I tested blender today, and it has zillions of buttons
everywhere, so it's definetly for the more (most) advanced user
(that means: I stick with an8 :lol: ) well there is a forum and
tutorials at the place I linked to in my previous post... good luck!

Tried blender too, seems to be pretty proffesional (Raydream is easier but cost $500 or so)..
Let see what I can do with it.
But yeah i'm totally noob when it comes to 3d modelling...

an8or seems to be dead though... site was last modified 1999.
