Renderings....

[SXRguyinMA]

How do you guys create them? what program(s) do you use? I've got PS3, but I'm still a novice user with it. I've been tinkering with the PS tutorials on this site, and I'm thinking about getting one of those free video professor CDs for it as well.

I've seen some nice 3-d renderings here, jsut looking for how to make one myself

google sketchup + http://scc.jezmckean.com/ (pc stuff) + kerkythea rendering tool =

please note, you need a ****load of custom materials and plenty of time (or some sketchup gods from bittech in msn) to get kerky looking that good, but still awesome tools

thats insane, and a tad bit beyond what I'm looking to do :D

I'm thinking a little simpler, along the lines of this (borrowed from TheGreatSatan):
