This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Hello all,

My uni course is now trying to teach me C instead of Java I did for a few years. The comp sci department has loads of Sun / Unix/ Linux machines that they are pushing us to use to write and compile C code.

The only problem being, that I cant really get up to uni that easily, and I'm not a huge fan of the Sun / Unix / Linux world.

I would really really like to to my work on my PC running windows at home.

Could people post suggestions for windows based C enviroments?

I have heard that .NET could do the job, but whenever I try and look up a descritption of the software I get bombarded with business jargon and bullshit - "Visual Studio .NET 2003 offers a highly productive environment in which to develop a broad range of Microsoft .NET—connected applications and technologies." etc etc.

So anyone with an idea for a simple windows based C compiler please let me know!

p.s just to point out, since this is a simple course we are doing plain C. Not C+, C++ or C#

I would recommend Dev-C++. It's small, fast and simple. It uses the free GCC-compiler (thats bundled) Get it at https://www.bloodshed.net/

And C+ is not a language...

I would highly recommend Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, as this is the best out there. However, as DJ said, Dev-C++ is a good free one. But if I was you, I'd definately go with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. user added image
