As I recall from the ordering process(just picked it up for myself) they take credit card only. Assuming you're a minor, you probably could have your parents use their card to pick it up and you could reinburse them for the cost(that's what I do for web orders)

I got that for $50 when it was worth something like $2000 over 2 years ago...

Well, err... good for you, Joveia. It takes someone very secure in their masculinity to use such... flowery... girlish... gah!

Oh yeah, one rule of thumb if you're going to Strata - save early and often

Wow, Strata 3D is awesome.

Render as in create fantastical spaceship scenes through the process of 3D rendering, rather than the process used to purify fat. Naturally.

Not long ago, I probably would have jumped at this. However, I've sort of fallen victim to POV's methods, although what I'm into is even wierder than Darkk's style.

With a good sheet of lined paper, it's not hard to manually enter in vertices and vertex normals for every point I want to exist. Generally, I don't use anything complex enough to make this procedure impractical, and you can get all sorts of shapes which aren't otherwise possible. It also has the added benefit of being practical for dynamically rendered things, like Marathon objs.

I'm not sure if I have a readily available Pfhor Destroyer pic, and I think I might retexture it first. But it's a very nice example of why I'm using POV for the Pfhor ships. (UESG ships are still Strata, but I don't need anything from Pro)

POV ray looks interesting, but I've found myself addicted to seeing my ships model in full 3D. I wonder if POV does that.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here... if you're talking about manipulating objects graphically, then no. You have to edit models entirely through a text file, with includes and such.
