Before U is a humble man beeseeching entrance into elite and esoteric world. I offer my soul and all the money I have in my pocket (two whole cents!!:D).
Actually, to all renderers please help a render noobie in need. What programs are best and why? Also give advice or tips here. I'm sure several people are dieing (is that right? it doesn't seem right :ignores it:) to know.

Of course, there's always old versions of Truespace, which is a rendering/modelling program, around. I've lost the link, but they're free (and legal).
It all depends on what you plan to do with rendering. If you want to do snazzy special effects, truespace won't cut it. You'd need a professional rendering program. I use Lightwave, since I found it to be my favourite. However, if you want to get professional programs, you'll either have to massively expand that two cents in your pocket, or get to be a very illegal person (I say no more).

+ blender, which is a "real" 3d-modelling program. At least it beats TS2.

You'd be reduced to rendering and taking screen caps, then losing the scene when you closed TS.

Thanks. I think I've cleared off most of the crappy parts of the page, now, and replaced them with better stuff, so that it at least works.

BTW: you got a e-mail adress? or some other form of comunications? like ICQ? MIRC? easyer to discus things.

And yeah, I'm working on web graphics, too. Trying to set up some kinda framey thing for the indexes, for one thing...
