Hi ravernews... and welcome

I think you can do this kind of graphics with most any good 2d graphics software and a little practice eh...

As for which package, well... pick one, practice some and then let us know what you have decided,,, from there someone who uses that particular app will no doubt be along to further assist you... and or guide you to where such assistance can be had

We have a member here at TG who does just this kind of look, but I simply cannot remember right off the top of my head... the member had posted a blue grafx, just like this, including though, a landscape as background... anybody remember who that was?

To get the image so it's importable to Photoshop (as you requested), you need to render the scene. To Targa, BMP, TIFF. Photoshop doesn't care.

you might search for the free Wings 3D and start modeling with it. Gidgit might be able to help you - he mastered this app. I'm not sure if you need a separate raytracer for Wings or not.

Once you master the app, all you need is imagination. Do some blobs, blurbs, metaballs, hypernurbs or whatever it's called, tweak and twist, texture and render them, and you'll have identical results.

Unfortunately I don't have enough imagination for this kind of stuff, I'm more technically and real life oriented, but I can imagine to use my apps and play some hours to come up with similar results.

I don't know if Cinema (www.maxon.com) still has the offer for the free version. It's limited only in render size, the rest is flawless. You might try this one as well.

All the best,
