A good article on "What is the best renderer? " 2004-02-16 - By Dave Angelini
Back I usually visit this site (Zaon Digital) for artistic inspiration, but this time I found an interesting article on "Choosing the Best 3D Rendering Applications for your Needs". A neat table is included which rates the particular functions of each of the major professional rendering applications. The article can be found here:

There are some comments in there that criticize statements people make when defending what they think is the best 3D application that are priceless. He really hits on some statements that we have all heard before on this forum with some neat insight on why people say them.
TrueSpace also gets a mention....which is odd considering that the article is clearly aimed at the high-end professional packages. The writer clearly considers tS as a mid-range application and is the only application mentioned other than the "Big 6" (3DS, LW, Alias, Softimage, Houdini and Cinema4D). Again, pretty good company to be keeping.
Thanks, Dave Angelini
