Very informative post. Thanks for taking the time to share your view with us.

Excellent learn, I simply passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on that.

blender is alright but Autodesk is letting students (like me) get a 3 year licence for free just register. but to do that you need to be 13 yrs and above. [im 14 ]

I HAVE SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOU TALK TO ME IN PRIVATE!!!

Anim8or is free 3d animation software that includes modeling, character design, and animation. It reads and writes 3ds (3d Studio) and Lightwave files and creates .avi output. Check it out!

UVIAs --> Of course there is no sense in payng for something you can get free. That's why it's good that there is powerful free soft like Blender. Blender existence makes that other developers cannot be lazy and take money for no or little innovation. It force them to create something worth paying and introduce improvements that were planned for later or they'll loose clients. Free and powerful soft is a strong competitor and that's the beauty of this I think

I was amazed by the features of the 3D animation software though I was just wondering to make a career in 3D animation so I think MAYA is the best 3D animation software ever I used.

Do you have some idea for that, from what programs i will be needed to make animation like Kung Fu Panda and like Ice Age?

Somebody know wich programs are used to make animation like Kung Fu Panda and Ice Age?!

if i click vertex alt the points will turn to color yellow. i can move the vertex. please help me thx help me to disable this mode thx.

I am a beginner
how modeling of effective and low polygon

I'm not an expert in animation but I promote products that work so how about Illusionmage. It an animation software, it has many features and 6+ hrs of tutorial videos . . . Visit >> onlyatonlineproducts . com / illusionmage - review /

Very cool informations, thx.
i learn much.heheheh
Have fun

hi! glad to be here! getting interested in animating. this discussion would be a great help in my studies.

Thanks for good info about this software

Autodesk is the best, but to expensive!
I make my movies with Carrara8 Pro.
It cost with all Plugins ca.1000 Dollar.
The Quality is very good.
I love Carrara8 pro.
Have fun

Wow this is very interesting. I will definitely be passing this all along to my friends interested in becoming professional 3d animators!

hi,

is there any animation software that could render animations not frame by frame? (what i would like to do is just click a button then automatically create a rendered animation.) cause what im doing is create my animation in 3dmaxs then render my animation frame by frame then combined those frames on adobe after effects.

THANKS

If you are interesting in 3D Animation, Realluison provides easier 3D software called iClone5 that is easy to use and easy affordable costs ( around $150 exactly price not sure ). The iClone5 can work with MS Kinect to create animation without fram by frame. You can use your Autodesk software to create project and import to iclone5 to create animation.

They are also Microsoft official Kinect for Windows of partners and recommended custom solution providers.
