3D Renders


Well, for my "table-top" D&D games, I use a "virtual" table top, called MapTool.

It allows me to create maps, position figures, roll dice, etc - with my players. VERY handy indeed.

And as my players are about to approach a cut-over I set for them, we are about to implement the full facing rules (from Unearthed Arcana).

Well, there's a horrid lack of top-down figures, even when googling for them.

Recently, however, I was turned on to a progam called "Poser" and then found out a free consumer level competitor was out there, "DAZ|Studio".

And wow. I had a BUNCH of fun making figures and renders in it this weekend. As a result, here are a few examples:





Even though I am using the free program, I have been so impressed I am seriously considering just using the "real" program. (It has more features)
