Cinema 4D (free version)

Im looking for a free model renderer. Im using ms to model, so I could export to .3ds and import to Cinema 4D to create renders.

Someone told me version 3.? was free. Been googling, no luck as of yet.

Anyone have a link?

POVRay.org - open source rendering program.
I don't think Cinema 4d has a free version. Demo version, maybe.
AC3D.org, cheap and cross platform.

There was an older version of Cinema 4D on a Euro-mag cover disk last year.
Too bad BMRT was killed by the Pixar lawyeristas.

The demo doesnt allow you to save renders. I dont know of any free rendering programs sorry.

BMRT was killed, but 3delight lives on ;) Free for non-commercial only though, alas.

I doubt milkshape can interface with a renderman-esque renderengine though, so you might want to check out Ayam3d.

Unfortunatly, while there are free/cheap tools on the internet, using them often means getting your hands dirty and finding slightly more complicated ways of doing things.
