Re: What are you doing?

Its very easy to get judgemental about your own work to the point you don't share, 90% of the Thea renders I do never end up on the Thea forum. In the last three years I've only done three pictures I'm proud about, even then I pick fault with them :roll: It really depends on what you do this for, t...

Re: The Bing is dead, long live the Bing?

Hi bitkar. My comment is based on conversations with Tomas, one of the trueSpace developers. Even when we were testing, you could see, it appeared they may have put themselves in a corner.

Re: Modo

Reality check time... I do not know your finances, nor will I ask.

Ask yourself these questions: Do you need a commercial li...

I have no way to verify this. Autorig works with some of the BVH library's out there, on setuptab, 3DFrog just left ...

Re: Pine Tree generator?

It's not really a generator, but it is free and they are from XFrog, a tad bit heavy for some projects, but you did not specify what you needed them for. http://www.xfrog.com/2011/01/130-free-xfrogplants-now-available/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Else look into one of th...
