What modelling program you use?

[Robert_S]

Hi,

I wanna know what kind of program is in use here to model a scene or anything else. I've tested a lot of programs - at the moment I prefer Cinema 4D (you can get the Version 6 for free, actual is Version 9.5). Silo is a complete modeller but without a renderer - for 100 $ you get Version 1.4...

there are quite a lot programs not mentioned like Houdini, Modo, Lightwave, XSi, Truespace, SketchUp, Shade, Blender (freeware), Wings3D (freeware), Amapi...

Please quote and write a little comment. :work:

I have Bryce and now Carrara for playing. I don't have done nothing with Bryce, only 3 images on a play with bigH in other site, and with Carrara I creat a chair, that's all.
where can we get the Cinema 4D version 6 free, for try it.

Rhino3d, Lightwave, Bryce, Cad.......I don't know if you can consider CAD as a modeling software ? My Fav's Rhino and Bryce ! I use Poser to intagrate a figure in a scene when I feel it's required ! There you have it. I dislike Wings !
