I mainly use a program called Daz Studio 4.6 combined with a plugin called Reality. You can find the program here.

www.daz3d.com/

The program itself is free but most of the models cost money. If you search the internet, you can definitely find some free models, or if you are good with modeling and texturing, you can create your own.

You can find the plugin Reality here

preta3d.com/reality-2-0/

What this plugin does is send the Daz studio scene to another render-er called Luxrender. This program uses lighting based on real life rather than Daz. It comes out looking more realistic but at the cost of render time. THis render took about 20 hours where as a complicated Daz Studio render takes about 1 hour.

Hope this helps!

If you want to make the models, don't fret! I would suggest getting Autodesk 3ds Max. Its pretty expensive but that's what people mainly use to make and design 3d models. I only dabbled in 3ds Max so I'm no expert.

I think user tiny mk uses 3ds Max alot. I would ask him about that.

Thanks, but...I don't really wanna pay for programs. I don't mean to sound cheap and all, but...money is tight right now Dx
