    In a nutshell, I create 3D models from the client's CAD files or design sketches, which I then use to produce high quality rendered images. Click on the link in my signature to view my portfolio. I'm always looking for work, so let me know if you need any renders. :)

    I tried to install R12 for Windows on a new pc running XP.
    I didn't manage to get the hardware lock to work.
    Some Rainbow.dll didn't work.

    If you get an old american version without the lock, maybe?
