Damn, that's a nice model dude. A little boxy, but nice lighting/surfacing.

What 3D app are you using? I'm a Lightwave person my self.

That was about five years ago, made in Inspire, which is Lightwave Lite! Crappy texturing, ok lighting, bleh.

I haven't touched lightwave in ages, should get back into that.

Well, I took a 3D class in high school that had both Inspire and Lightwave. Eventually my teacher was impressed and told me "I can help you get a student discount on LW." So, I just searched the net w/ him until I found an awesome deal: over 50% off, original price being over $1000.

Lightwave wasn't too hard for me, it's just Inspire with a hell of a lot more. So, since I had the Inspire background, it was just like working with extra plugins. I'd suggest taking a class though

One thing too, LW is what most are using for car commercials, not 3D Studio Max.

There's another 3D app that looks awesome, either Brazil or Rhino, forgot which one. Anyway, the renders I saw easily crush LOTR type vfx.
