Free 3D software
 

I know Incog has posted about Bryce, I thought I'd share with those that are interested in free alternatives.

^^ This is a superb bit of freeware, just one look in the image gallery will show you how powerful and versatile it is.

I don't know how easy it is to use, as I haven't yet tested it myself, but judging by the results others have achieved it can't be too bad.

:tu:

I'll be posting my first ever render attempt in here.. post yours if you have a go yourself.

( make sure you get this installed too: http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Yafray.51.0.html .. read the notes on the site to see how to use the two together )

There's also a free version of 3DSMax that they produce for game modders...

Well not only do Daz now own Bryce which is not free but they do have a beta version of their own 3D software for Poser characters called Daz/Studio which you might find useful.It is free to use you just need to help with bug reports.DAZ

It is useful for making characters to put in my Bryce scenery. :)

Edit: Nearly forgot Terragen which generates landscapes.It is free to non commercial users and is also excellent.No structures or people or plants.You need to add that in a graphics package of your choice such as Photoshop.it has a lot of addons and plugins(which I still can't get to work because I'm a dimbo).
