What do i use to render ships?

[Ragnarok-X]

Could you please provide a link to download the tool you mentioned, and maybe a link to a introduction or tutorial ? By now i only used the standart parts. I once downloaded a part libary, but it majorly sucked to set it up, so i gave up. In fact you had to do a render for each part, then create big thumbnail and incorporate it into doga, in addition you had to rename each "part" so it would show when adding parts...

POV-Ray is the best. But you need imagination 'cause it doesn't come with a modeller. It's all script.

Moray's a good Windows modeller for POV-Ray. (I'm not sure what's out there for Linux or OS-X) But it's shareware and there's a nag screen if you render a lot of scenes.

sPatch and hamaPatch are good spline modellers that export to POV-Ray. hamaPatch also exports .x files.

RandallW, take a look at my thread, named "rate my shipset" or something. It includes a lot of models and textures done/applied with DoGa. Its actually pretty kewl, especially my second post has a pretty blasting picture, at least imho.

A link for Metasequoia can be found on the DoGA English home page under the "Usefull Tools" heading.
