Looking for new graphics software

Has anyone used Illusion Mage . Don't know how much to spend on 3D software. Any advice?

illusion mage is actually blender and blender is free to download from thier site: blender.org

what you are actually paying for with illusion mage is the support videos and 'training material' should you think them worth it and I can't comment on that not having seen them

blender is very powerfull but like any 3D program complicated and has a definate learning curve

there are plenty of folks here use blender that will help you out in the 3D forum

Looks like an affliate link, Steve. JCG could have linked directly to www.illusionmage-dot-com if a genuine enquiry.
As you say, it's rebadged Blender and widely reported as a scam.
Ton Roosendaal has this to say ► http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/bl...nding-blender/

yes :)

thanks for the link to the re-branding blender page on the blender site - now I see it I know I've read it...

Thank you all for the information. I will look first at Blender.
