Any of you doing any renderings? I've done quite a lot of hobby 3d work a few years ago and now I'm learning again since renders are doing well on some sites. For now I'm just checking the grounds to see if it's worth it or not (maybe you can supply that info :D). What programs are you using?
dnavarrojr:
A lot of people do 3D renderings and upload the results to stock photo sites.
I've seen stuff made by every conceivable app, so you should use what you know and what you enjoy using.
For me personally, Cinema 4D, Vue, and Poser are my main 3D apps. I occasionally fire up an old version of 3DS Max I got years ago and the free version of Bryce that Daz gave away.

I use Maya.
The big money is in laptops, with little lines between them, with globes in the middle and RSS symbols above.

Yeah, I'm planning to do those, just need to find the time :D Now I focused on concept shots with characters (one of them is in my avatar), just need to figure out what IS wants since atm they are rejecting most of my work.

I have done a few microstock 3D renders using Poser. But the Firefly render engine just does not produce quality results. IS won't accept Poser renders, at least not mine, and I don't really blame them (I blame them for a lot of things, but that isn't one of them). And Poser is so frustraing to work with in many ways. The content for it is cheap though.
Speaking of 3D content, is it still IS's policy to not accept renders which use 3rd party content, such as Rosity, DAZ? (I can never figure out what IS's policies really are from the forums, because they lock the threads, which then sink into oblivion and out of date, and their real policies seem to be mostly unwritten rules.)
I would love to have the Mental Ray rendering engine, but $3500 for 3DS Max is a bit more than I want to lay out at this time. Besides, the learning curve, I am afraid, would be a long one.
