Does anyone use blender for their gfx? I use Blender and paintshop Pro. If you don't use either, I reccomend you get one (if not both) of them. Blender is free, and paintshop pro has a 30-day trial. If I am correct, SimonK used blender to make the gfx in PQ.

Mmmm, pizza. 
I have blender (A 3D-gfx program), but as with most professional, free programs, you'll need tons of tutorials and VERY much patience before you can make anything cool.
Paint shop pro is much easier to use, but you can't make that cool pictures with it. And... I'm not very creative.

Ever since the company that made Blender went under and the source code was bought with donations to become public domain, Blender Pro has become 100% free.

And yes, SimonK uses Blender. It's supposedly pretty good, if you can past its horrible interface.

i checked it out, downloaded it the other day. the manual is in horrible order and doesn't help a whole lot if you don't have the cd with the blender images on it, but other than that, i think it's just great and i'll be using it to create some new graphics or something cool like that
