John I with you totally! I don't think wings or POVray have the legs that blender does. It's in the top 10, but has a low quality rating among the "heavy hitters." No surprise it doesn't cost thousands either. The quality will improve (Tux was a chick just a few years back.)
Discussions about 3D rendering seem to be heading outside the scope of this group, but I would like to talk about setting up a subgroup, since I am definitely migrating to OSS and I feel that capturing the imagination of artists will enhance the local Linux community.

I'm looking for introductory stuff and things that will help me get more oriented, also the oss programs are what I prefer and that makes this topic fit into this list somehow. Wings is one program that I have fiddled with and I found it less confusing than blender ,though that is without a live intro with real persons ,and I seem to learn much better in that environment. I am hoping that those with more experience could give a talk or demo and present exercises for the more newb among us john _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
