Re: Pushing the limits of cheap software

Nice.

I remember using Crystal 3D fonts on our Quadra 650 or some such ting. Also had something like that on the in:Sync Speed Razor system. That Pentium1 133mhz machine could do a lot if you were real nice to it and bought it flowers.

On occasion I use a freeware called Anim8or - you can import 3Ds models or create your own. Simple to use especially for 3D extruded text. Will render an alpha channel. I mostly use this for animating free Star Wars models, but have used it in a few projects. Sometimes simple is just what you need.

Blender takes a bit more time to learn, but we have used that for 3D text also.
