Nice work Mark.

I purchased TrueSpace three years ago. I gave up on it after weeks of trying to get good results - their weird user interface drove me nuts.

After doing research and trying several free trials, I've settled on MoI and HyperShot as my modeler and render tool set ($400 for the pair). I'm having more fun with these two programs than a six-year-old with an etch-a-sketch! ( Do they still make those?)

A guy just posted a boat on the HyperShot forum - he used Rhino. I assume he used a photo of an existing boat for his backplate in order to get the boat's wake, and just placed his model over the original boat.
