Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

I dont know if anyone has considered 'FaceGen' or 'Faceworx', I have just started having a play with these and they seem quite useful.

I thought they might be useful for those who want to put specific people into their art.

Here is a link to a review, with links within to the actual freebies: http://www.relativitybook.com/CoolStuff/faces.html

That's really cool.

Glad they are of use, I am still learning and found this little tool which may also help some people: http://www.pullin-shapes.co.uk/page8.htm.

Interesting links..

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

OK, I'm going to say it. The only thing making that not free was the requirement to share the link on a site that steals and sells user data. So, it's not exactly free. There, I said it. (I feel better now ;))

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

Good for you.. now take a deep breath, stand on one leg and say beep.

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

In all seriousness, I think it's a lame requirement to have to share a link on Facebook just to get something for free. Free should be free, end of story. But, that's just my opinion.

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

Serious now

I agree, it should be free if its giving free without condition of anything.

Seriousness ended at least from me.

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

I'm using Blender.

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

very popular program

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

I also use Blender. The program is not easy to learn but has a lot of features. It is stunning since with the Cycles shader your results can be photorealistic. Even the new (instant) EEVEE shader, which is used for the viewport, is very close to Cycles.

"HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE?" says the site's front page. No; not since 2012... I had to guess my username and password.

I found a program called pcon.planner a few months back -

https://pcon-planner.com/en/

It's actually a room designer / planner, but I've found it useful as a Sketchup alternative. It reads and writes all but the most recent .SKP files and has more viewing and rendering options than Sketchup. It comes with the YAFRAY and OSPRAY (64-bit only) renderers built-in.

Open/save and import/export options also include .DXF and .OBJ. Newer versions are 64-bit only but they have an older downloads section with the 32-bit versions. It's quite heavy on resources but I think it's worth it.

useful for scifi interiors possibly

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

What would you say is the best programm to start?
I was thinking to start with blender.

Re: Free 3D Programs "To which to learn with"
 

I guess Blender is the best non-commercial prg. Ideal for the first steps.

I personally use actual LIGHTWAVE 2019. Before I used MAX and I also use CINEMA 4D R.20 sometimes.

All programs have their positive and negative sides. My workflow is the best with LW.

I have also permanent an actual version of Blender installed on my HD, because it has some very good features. But I didn´t like the interface. Still too much chaos for my taste.

BTW: Welcome on board. :)
