 yoyomhz join:2003-02-15 Beverly Hills, CA | were the spruce trees in the background done in 3D? or is it just a background image?
and how come the spruce trees in the front are miniature? |

 vue666Humour,no one takes it seriouslyPremium join:2007-12-07 Halifax, NS | The trees were modeled & textured in 3D (Vue Complete)...
The "trees" in front are supposed to be shrubs and bushes.... 
No photos were used in the image....

On the classic, I had a product called Extreme 3D from Macromedia. Adobe abandonned that product when they bought Macromedia. Someone recommended Cheetah. Do you have recommedatiosn for an affordable product ? |

For inorganic 3D modeling I use Wings3D, Hexagon3D ver 2, Google Sketchup (free version).
There is a MAC version of Hexagon3D... I purchased Hexagon when DAZ had it on-sale a few years ago for $25.00 »www.daz3d.com/i/products/hexagon···rements?
For organics I use Scupltris (free from ZBrush publishers) »www.pixologic.com/sculptris/requirements/
