What 3D modeller best to user?

[donk]

Hello,

what 3d modelling software do you use to create animated 3d modells?

Are there alternatives to 3d studio max?

Would it be a good idea to use 3d studio max? What plugins would be helpful to minimize the effort of creating animated 3d modells?

best regards,

Christian.

Hello, Well I always use 3D Studio Max because its the best on e from those I have.

I tried Maya but is not easy to begin.

Anyway onece I used a very good, easy and powerfull software but unfortunatelly I couldnt find it again to use it, its name is Strata Studio Pro 2.53 (different from just Strata).

The are versions for MAC and PC, If you can get it I recomend you to use it.

Anyway if you are lookimg for a free 3d editor you can try Blender.

Does anyone know a programm named poser?

Would it be a good choice to created animated character modells to use with jpct?

Well, I have poser 5, some functions are bolcked like a demo, but is most likely to do faces and som parts of human  body, I couldnt save it as a 3ds model or anything. Not really for general purpose.

I guess 3D Studio max and Strata are very good ones, try it. They are very easy to learn

You can also use autocad for doing 3d models and later export them to 3d studio max for the texturing.

I use Rhino3D for modelling, 3D Studio for tweaking, lowering polygon count and texturing, and Misfit3D for animation... I really like all three software because they are easy to use. Poser is not a bad program to use at all, but I feel that with "ease of use", you lose a lot of control and flexibility.

Simply, less effort is less result.
