Title: Rendering woes
Post by: Sesquipedalian on February 24, 2002, 11:59:10 pm: I've just downloaded the Truespace 4.2 trial for the purpose of making renders for use in interface art creation, and I've run into a bit of a snag. After reverting a POF back to COB with POF Constructor Suite and saving all the texture PCX files as BMPs, when I try to load the object TrueSpace crashes. Does Truespace not like reverted POF files?

Anyway, might anyone have some helpful sugestions for me, or perhaps a recommendation for another (free) program to use for rendering?

Have you ever tried Blender (http://www.blender3d.com). Great for the model making and rendering(some).

Maybe I can help you making those interfaces, as I can just convert the COBS to 3ds and import into max.

Let me know. [email protected]
