started to import the updated cars etc. but can´t promise to finish it. (Definitely will take a while)
As long as you just wanna render, i don´t think you need to install it (but I recommend you to install the new Blender 2.53 Beta version, it´s stable and has python build in. + its´s faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaster then 2.49 (and IMO it´s easier to use, can´t go back to 2.49 xD). you can get it here)
Well, the free way would be for example Blender. But because I never got really satisfied with Blenders render engine, I do all the modeling in Blender and all the rendering in LuxRender.
in Ger vs. Spain, Germany played like crap. And that´s why they lost. Srsly the played a lot worse then vs Serbia. I still wonder why Spain won only 1:0. ( I even whished Spain to do the goal a lot earlier, maybe Germany would have woke oup a lot earlier and not the last 15 min).
But like that, it was definitely a deserved win for Spain.
knew luxrender a long time but wanted to do something with blender, now after guistix pic i decided to give it a try (wow i struggled hardly to work with blender 2.49, since i work with 2.5 since dec 09 or so xD)
anyways its kinda hard to work with blender and luxrender but luxrender gives quite nice results after some tests
