The following are links to the software I most commonly use in my art. Many of these are available as free downloads. Bryce - Recently purchased from Corel by DAZ3D, this powerful landscape generation and rendering package is my software of choice. The low cost, easy-to-use interface, infinite texturing capabilities using the Deep Texture Editor, Tree Lab, Light Lab and advanced rendering controls combine to make it a truly awesome program for the artist just starting out in 3D, as well as for the seasoned pro. Visit DAZ3D to learn more, and to purchase a copy. Poser - A powerful, yet simple to use software solution for adding three dimensional people, animals and more to your renders. The program comes with many ready-to-use, fully posable 3D models, as well as clothing, hair, props and so much more. There is also a wealth of Poser content available online. Wings3D - This excellent, and free, modeling program allows even a new user to create and export simple 3D models usable in many software packages.
