Graphics Program

My friend and I are beginning development of a plug for EVN. Both of us are fairly adept at the manipulation of EV, but we are sadly lacking in the graphics department. If anyone could suggest a good (and relatively inexpensive) graphics program, it would be much appreciated.

Strata, but I suggest getting someone who knows what they are doing. most plugs fail because the graphics arent done.

Why is it that every time I make a new signature I end up hating it even more than the previous one?

Mechanisto is very simple. I, for one, find it must simpler and straight forward. I have not spent a whole lot of time in strata

These will help you along the way...

Well, if you're like 90% of graphics people around here, you will eventually switch to Strata unless you can get something better. Why not start with it?

well, strata3d is a place to start, but you'll seriously want a better modeler to go with it.
you can use the LW demo to model sub200-point objects and then export and import them to strata3d.
there's also a free version of amapi4.15 at (url="http://"http://www.insidecg.com/downloads.php")http://www.insidecg.com/downloads.php(/url) but i couldn't get it to install.
there at least used to be a "lite" viersion of pixels 3d studio, but i'm not sure about it's current state.

and you will definately need a copy of PS (elements or LE is propably good enough for what you'll be using it for).

Hrm. I checked the URL, and opened up the FTP connection in Dreamweaver, which works perfectly. I was even able to open the url in dreamweaver. It just doesnt wasnt to load in the Browser. Strange. I will try to sort it out. If not would you like me to email it to you (the html and image files)?

(edit)
I couldnt find the problem, I think f2s is just a bit skrewy at the moment, so I put the site on my iDisk. It is viewable from the following URL:

Thanks!

If I were you, I'd buy Houdini (http://www.sidefx.com) only about $15,000. Yes, there's three noughts there. 🙂

Seriously, I'd recomend Infini-D or Cinema 4D GO. You could probably buy either second hand quite cheap (you'll have to with infini-d - it's no longer supported). Cinema 4D GO isn't too expensive, unlike it's more complex brother XL.
