Render Programs?

What's the best program to use for rendering pics?
I have seen some pretty nice renders and thought "I don't think that person 'cut' all of that."

 

just use photoshop to do it m8

 

Photoshop by far, suppose you could use gimp but...
Photoshop Pen Tool.

People can cut anything, just takes patience.

 

photoshop is best fireworks is a waste of time!

use photoshop to do it. Pen too, poly lasso tool, etc.

 

Theres a program specifically used for rendering. I think it's fluid mask.

 

cinema 4d, or 3d studio max

oh wait……
my bad. carry on.

just use the magic wand, it's basically just as good but without the hours of work

i'll give 100 credits to anyone who can do this with only the Magic Wand and have the same quality</span>

 

a rendering program prolly isnt as good as the good ol pen tool

 

Thanks guys.
I appreciate the help.
I've seen some phenomenal renders so I figured there must be something to it.
I'll check out the tuts too.

Thanks again.
