Hi guys,
I hope this is in the right place, but, what I wanted to ask was, what, in your opinion, is the best piece of software for rendering. I wouldn't mind spending a few "coppers" out of my pocket to get something good that will do the job :) If its possable, I'd like the software to be easy to use, since I'm not great with stuff like this :D
ShipAddict recommended Kerkythea, he used that software to make the renders of Monarch (my project) for me, Would you advise me to try that out? is it a safe/good site?
Thanks!
Jack.

You can see my rendering tutorial in the Development corner. It uses Esperient which does a pretty damn good job on the model.

Is Esperient a good safe piece of software?
Thanks,
Jack :)

Dunno - worked fine for me though.
You can always give me your model so I can render it if you are not positive - here is the link anyway

Tutorial for rendering is found here:

Kerkythea working good :) I use that one alot... But now have i jumped over to Carrara Pro :) You can se tha last picture i rendered in that program on my link in signature..

Hmmm, not sure what to do now, Esperient, or Kerkythea...hmmmm What do you think J3nsen/Gloat?
Jack :)
-
Esperient!
You decide. Jensen told you to look at the topic in his sig to see the outcome of his rendering pogram - I have posted Esperient Results here, look at the pic. So you can decide.
There is no reason that you cannot have both

Yes, Kerky works very well :)
Of course its a safe site, if it wasn't i'd probably have a load of viruses by now :)

Hi guys!
You'll be glad to know I just downloaded Kerkythea, scanned it etc. and all good ;D

Is Carrara also a game engine?

No, model software, render + animation ;)
