3D Rendering (?)

[The Witch]

How does one go about making stuff like this? I've tried looking around online but because I don't know any terms I never get any results. I know that it's some form of 3D render software... right? but I see a lot of people use the same 'Cloud' which makes me think there is a download out for these things.

Anyway, I just want to see how someone goes about making these images. Please tell me everything because I know nothing.

Danke shoen.

Pretty sure either 3D Studio Max or Maya. My brother-in-law does things like this (though I haven't seen him do anything FF yet). I've had some experience with 3D Studio Max back in high school but all I ever made that was at least decent was a teapot and a pencil.

Ah, ok. Thank you Mits. So do you always have to create your own, or can I download some and play around with it? Because sometimes on dA I will see people say this is for download. So I'm curious.

Thank you for the response during the this time. I'm trying to keep myself distracted.

The only "easy" way I could think of for a person to use a render without having to make it from scratch is for them to rip an in game model. You can then redesign the model yourself, be it a character, weapon or stage scene (similar to the way people customise their PC games and such like). I have not gone through the process myself but I know of a member here who runs a texture workshop elsewhere who would be delighted to give you some ideas if you're interested Stray Arrows.

Wow, thanks. I'm not even sure if my computer can handle the systems or whatever it is that makes or edits this stuff. So any help would be great.
