in IRC, we were talking about this- I dl'ed and tried it out for myself- seems pretty easy and intuitive to use, though it does take some imagination to get exactly the desired result you were looking for.

It's a freeware program (sketchup7 pro IS NOT however), and is available at http://sketchup.google.com

according to alterecco, to effectively render for transcendence though, you need to get a sepparate program to render all the facings.

you know, in blender you can create high quality meshes AND render all facings with the animation function?

btw, I love the quote in your sig, but not as much as I like blender! :lol:

you can do that too in 3dsmax (you can in gmax too, but it needs a plugin, though dl-ing and installing a plugin is not big deal)
