I like the idea of a digital badge to put on your profile pic like some site overseers have the 8 logo in theirs

think there should be a small fee so there could be a prize? idk how this would work but i would like to put something up make things real. we should come up with a digital badge for your profile… that would be cool.
 

well, any suggestions would be appreciated… its still a concept now so lets make it great. i want some excitement…

Personally, I would rather see it opened up to other render engines as well, partially because I use a different one than 3DS now, and also because it would be a good way for people unfamiliar with the strengths of different programs to see what they can do.

bring it on 😛

has anyone used ‘view’ seems like a really good program im about to start learning… any suggestions?

never mind, found the tutorial

I REALLY like the itoosoft, wish the full version was free though so I could use some of my own images. Still working on the shadows though…

I believe it is a Nvidia 280 GTM, middle of the range but still better than the one on my old computer that ran max 2010 quite well. i7, 8 gigs of ram. Having some photoshop problems too. pretty much everything is frames per second related, it makes zooming and moving things around so hard.
