flamethrower, im 15 and also use and am interested in 3d rendering. for now i only have bryce 5, ive used it for a while and am pretty good with it, but as you must know it is very limited in many respects. Soon, hopefully, ill be getting maya from one of my friends. People say 3d sm, maya and others are alot harder to use (or to use well at least), but im a fast learner and have patience. anyways to get to the point, where did you get 3d sm? obviously you didnt pay for it, you probly downloaded it right? well im on 56k and dont exactly like downloading HUGE files, can you sympathize? neways, i was wondering if you could like mail it (as in the post office) to me or something, and i could send you five bucks in the mail (i could send the money first, i would trust you). Or possibly we could negociate a trade (win xp pro, win 2k advanced server, office xp for small businesses, adobe premiere, adobe aftereffects, ps7, maya (soon), games etc). my email is leemspencer@mindspring.com, and im also on msn by that address.
The first LAN party I went to was at a PETA convention. They booted me when I shot a crab in HL!
