photoshop is 1 way, however that takes A LOT experience, for beginners I would advice bryce.

I would advice, pick the program you want to learn, and practice, practice, and practice. Search the net for tutorials, .....................did I mention practice?

You think POV is hard! Try Blender 3d !!

Looks real powerful an' all but what a UI to get used to !

Still, it's free and looks like it can do marvellous things (I've only jsut downloaded it).

Yeah thats what I said until I tried it

Tried 3ds max4 trial liked it, expensive

I'll stick with photoshop, I have bryce, but I don't use it much.

Yeah I wish, it's difficult for him to pay for a website, let alone anything good!
We just got him to put a newer computer in the office, that took two years. We used to have an Emachine, but now have a compaq at 2 gigs

p.s. that was on sale!

Cool are you going to run dual monitor or just the new one? One of my coworkers just got a new lcd, running dual, said he loves it. You can watch cable on it(like we got time for that, back to skinning)!

Assuming that you don't already.

And not skinning at the moment, just lurking on WC
