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

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:

This is the outcome:

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..

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #5 on:** February 07, 2009, 16:32:09 »

Hmmm, not sure what to do now, Esperient, or Kerkythea...hmmmm What do you think J3nsen/Gloat?

Jack

Gloat · « **Reply #6 on:** February 07, 2009, 16:40:35 »

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

I use kerkythea and I love it, heres something I made with kerky http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,12737.0.html

Shipaddict · « **Reply #11 on:** February 07, 2009, 17:02:07 »

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

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2009, 17:26:02 »

Hi guys!

You'll be glad to know I just downloaded Kerkythea, scanned it etc. and all good

SA is now showing me how to use it etc. on MSN, thanks SA

I like Carrara a lot.

These are done with (the older) version 6;

Hi guys!

thanks to the help of SA, I have my first render of a fire boat that I downloaded from the 3D Warehouse (just a tester!) Currently doing Monarch Renders now!

Thanks SA, and everyone else

Jack.

Is Carrara also a game engine?

J3nsen · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2009, 19:44:28 »

No, model software, render + animation

Is this "Carrara" free?
