Hey, all you photoshop experts... has anyone ever concidered creating a wireframe of the RX-8 in and rendering us some new pictures in Povray or whatever ray tracer takes your fancy?

There are a few examples of this with the S2000:-

Almost makes me wish I was better at using blender! LOL..

If you've not heard of Povray, go here:-

....and look at some of the examples.

very cool stuff... unfortunatley, i've only begun learning AutoCad, let alone a 3D wireframe programme of that sorts. Although I would love to learn.

Povray is a basic raytrace engine with a command line interface. Pretty evil for people to learn unless you're used to programming.

From Photoshop to 3D rendering is like telling a painter to do sculpture.

LOL...

I know... that's kinda what makes it a challenge...

The Windoze version of povray did have a GUI the last time I looked... but perhaps that was a bit unfair.... Perhaps AC3D would be more appropriate...

Isn't that S2K pic out of Tekken Tag video?

Dunno, but the guy looks more like a Camaro driver. :D

The person that made those renderings has talent and many, many hours of experience. POV Ray is cool, but Rhino 3D rules all.
