Mainly because marmoset is really cheap for what it is (also it's a permanent license), also student license price are for really pricey and must-have software that you need to learn, marmoset takes 15min to learn and isn't a need, you can do you render in maya or max. 130$ is nothing for something you'll use all your…

The problem with Modo for game dev is that it's not a replacement for Max/Maya. And $1000 for an application you are mostly going to use for modeling is a bit much. It would be a great deal if it could do everything Max and Maya does, but it doesn't. I don't might spending a few hundred for a speciality application, but I…

With realism, anyone can tell when art either gets close to looking like real life, or it looks completely fake to the human eye. With stylized art, you're not holding a magnifying glass…
your S-F prop staging is beau en osti ;) I love the composition of story-telling around the car. But Matt_Billeci has a great point - if you present your setup as a scene, the shot composition has a big impact on picture readability. I'd also like to add that the houses on the background could be more ruined to look closer…
Does anyone know of any alternatives to Marmoset Toolbag that is more affordable for a solo/indie user? I know about Keyshot, but that's waaay out of my budget at $400 or so, and I think i remember reading somewhere that Marmoset is tied to your computer by Hardware ID (or that might have been keyshot, can't remember) I…

I am sorry if I am a computer noob, but I feel I need to ask this question, because I don't wanna spend my money on something I will regret.
