Title: Hey, Setekh, a question for your renderness....
Post by: Unknown Target on February 21, 2002, 02:20:55 pm

I got the name right, didn't I, come on, tell me the truth:D

Anyways, what renderer do you use, and ius there a place where I can get a free demo (that saves!)?

Gah, if I hear this one more time I'm going to scream (yes, lots of people ask about it).

Setekh uses "Spirit", a custom rendering engine built by himself and his brother. In its previous incarnation it was known as Spire. You can't get it anywhere except Setekhs house and no working copy exists outside there.

Any questions?

(Setekh, you really should add a page about Spirit to The Array to answer questions like this :))

Bah, all this story about Spire/Spirit is just a cover-up... ;)

In fact, Setekh has the help of the magic render gnomes who, every night, walk into his room while he's asleep, turn on the computer, open up Microsoft Paint, and start drawing his renders pixel by pixel. :D

Goodbye now, I'm sure Steak will kill me for revealing his secret. It was a pleasure meeting you all...

But they're Australian gnomes... the render should end up like this!

The first was paint - the second had those sparkles added using Axion in Photoshop ;)
