Renders?

[Domjan]

So, how do you guys make ship renders? Is there any piece of software? You run it then run a ship in the data files? I just don't get it how do you make ship renders by yourself.

Oh also another thing is how to make renders that are 2D?
For example I want to make a render out of this guy: http://www.nonkonformist.net/wp-content/up...waldHellmut.jpg

But seems like using laso tool in photoshop isn't the brightest idea.

I'm sure there is a quicker way? Help plox?

Milkshape and 3ds Max or Lightwave is your friend.

You'll not be making a "render" out of that photo. Render means generating a picture of a 3D model. You really need a lasso for the photo. Yeah, it's work. Tough luck.

For actual renders, I use Milkshape & POV-Ray.

Oh... D: , well I am trying out Lightwave , but don't understand how do I import FL ships into it? If anyone cares to explain?

[Domjan]

Bump.

Can someone please explain me how do I import renders into any of these?
And how do I actually make them?

I'd be grateful.

I'm not sure what format does LightWave use. You'll need to import the ship into Milkshape and then export into a format LightWave can use.

This IS called a render aswell.

Is it? OK, then. I've never heard it used that way, but I'm not a native speaker.
