I had gotten the Softimage demo. I was really put off by the fact you could only render 400x300, no bigger. That just is not big enough to see the results of what you have worked on. I will stick to Maya PLE and it's watermarks. Unreal2003 editor; just had recently brought this up to play with, wow...a LOT goes into that game, very extensive. I can't compare Unreal to Unreal2003, I've only owned/played 2003. But, yeah I run an AMD Atlon 1.5ghz, with a G-Force 4 64mb MX, and I run the game with the character detail turned down to make sure it runs smoothly. The Character Detail is the sweet spot, IMO, because all the players are running around so fast, you don't really realize that part of the game has been turned down, AND it really helped in the perfomance of the game. You could run Unreal2003, pretty small (640x480), but it looks best at 1024x768. And, yeah it has spoiled me on its gorgeous textures, lol. Cinema4D, when in the future I buy a more professional 3D package, but if don't have a lot of money, I will probably get this. I've been eyeing it for some time, it's very worth looking into, IMO. At least go look at it's gallery here, amazing stuff. I got the free Truespace 3, and am using that as a crutch to get myself past just modeling in booleans and into more traditional modeling. It's not the greatest, but it really suits my small needs for now. AgentSmith
