I've done it with POV-Ray (a freeware ray tracer)
Occasionally I set out to look for a 3D application for OS X that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is easy to learn. So far I've never found one. I feel the need for 3D only about twice a year so I'm not really looking for a high-end product.
This time I'm taking the liberty of asking if anybody on this list can recommend such a GUI application.
As a selection criterion: I want to make a transparent glass ball with a solid cube inside and appropriate shadows and reflections. The surface of the ball should also reflect and appropriately distort the image I have in a jpeg file. I'm looking for an application that allows me to build this from scratch and gives a photo-realistic end result, and I would ideally like to be able to learn how to do the above in less than two hours by reading the application's documentation.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Marc PS: Feel free to respond off-list since this is OT. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
