older one too existed before it instinct was the 0.5 version

there was older one site respect the one u shown but only vlado and maybe a few number of us could remember it
thanks to chaos and especially VLADO and PETER 4 the great professional work to give better product

ah those were the days eh Vlado!

I dont think I even knew what max or anything similar was back then, haha.

Ha, the only advanced lighting plugins I knew about back then were Mental Ray and Lightscape. And both sucked (well, Lightscape sucked a lot more).

there was ghost (the codename o brazil), there was the cebas alpha plugin i don’t remember its codename ( the actual finalrender), there was Mental Ray for 3dsmax 3.1 as plugin and was great only slowwwww and not simple to setup a lot plugin as now but there wasn’t vray empire still :slight_smile:

Now vray seem kept the place of LIGHTSCAPE the best software for rendering done for that times and even now excellent but vray is simplest and better :wink:

Next time you show us the tower - we’ll raise an auction for it, so someone buys the rights over it from you.
