That's what I get whenever I render with Wings 3D using the internal OpenGL. You have to use the little box to the right of where it says OpenGL and then choose to render shadows, and I don't know what I did wrong...or if it's just a glitch.

looks like you need to look at those modelling tutorials a little closer.

The internal renderer for Wings3D is, to be blunt, utter crap.

Download YafRay and use the YafRay rendering option for rendering (you can activate them in plug-in preferences):

I had YafRay, but the computer I'm stuck with using right now doesnt have DX9 so I imagine that could contribute to the render problem I'm having, but it also doesnt allow for use of most things, YafRay is one of those things. I should have my own computer by the summer though, so it's all good.

DX9 doesn't matter for Wings3D either, Wings3D is all OpenGL, no DX Required.

Just download Yafray and use it. Sure it's all your processor, but it'll give much better results than the standard renderer.

Is YafRay OpenGL or DX9?

Neither, YafRay renders an image using your processor, and does not render things in real time using OpenGL or DirectX. Your rendering errors with it before are probably because of the installation path (try installing it in C:\Yafray\ instead of C:\Program Files\Yafray\ by default), and remember to point where the YafRay.exe file is in Plug-In Preferences.

Also, it would be wise if you setup your own lights for YafRay too, like all standard renderers, the default light doesn't look too good...

Got it, and it rendered it. How do I use TGA files? or HDR files? or EXR files?

TGA shouldn't be too hard to see, although it is a small pct :p
My Mac's preview app opens it just find, and you can also open it with Gimp.

Looks pretty cool tho, turn on anti aliasing and make a much larger render and you should be good.
