Tried and tested! ... well reccommended -
any other opinions?

hi ccwhite1 - ar you saying you recommend Blender for its rendering capabilities? Could you say why you think it is good?

Sure
I've tried many rendering packages, with the idea of linking this with CAD software in order to make specific design projects
Although there are many bespoke software programmes that go further than the Blender Software, after harbouring opportunities to practise basic modelling techniques, it works out to be more advanced than what first thought -

in conclusion - although you can better packages (in my opinion obviously), Blender is a fantastic package to get your rendering skills up to a particular level and to start practising more advanced techniques of animation

cal

That is a very helpful answer thanks I will give you some rep for that one!

Does anyone have any other preferences for rendering or animation softs?
