Just got my new computer and i love all the work being done here on many programs but i dont any programs at all i been looking threw all the post and all the turioals... but it seems like no one really talks about what programs they r using...........so im going to ask which progarms are u usig and which ones are best programs out there....and where can i buy them

Rothart

I use Illustrator and Photoshop (CS and CS2). Mostly Illustrator lately though.

A lot of the tutorials are for Adobe Photoshop, personally I use CS2, CS3 and the original CS aren't how I like them, CS2 is the best for me.

I've always found (my) CS2 to be a bit buggy but for what I do and use it for, CS3 is a godsend.
I model in Autocad, Vectorworks, 3D studio and occasionally Maya and Rhino. If forced to, I can grudgingly draw and model for you in Microstation.

Where can i buy some of these programs for my new imac

i plan to use it to better model my scale models and and to make 3D models of cars and trucks

nicecar

For car modifications, i use Photoshop 7.0. But ive found that i can do pretty much the same on elements 2.0, which is a really early version.

For 3d work, which i havent yet mastered, i use Rhino, and for other things like drawing cars i use alias sketchbook pro.

I guess now that I look at the date this is a fairly old post but if you haven't picked up the software you need my first bet is ebay, you can probably get a better price there than going to an Apple store.

Also I was wondering if anyone has used Art of Illusion? I just came across it (http://www.artofillusion.org/index) It is open source 3D rendering software much nicer on the pocket book that way. Looking through their art gallery it looks like people are making some great stuff with it.

The Gimp is free and I've heard it's just as powerful as PhotoShop but has a steep learning curve. PaintShop Pro is comparable to PhotoShop and I think it's under $200.00. Some one already mentioned PhotoShop Elements. I think there are some others and if I think of them I'll post here.
