PEader お前はもう死んでいる 1486 posts	I was just wondering what software everyone uses for 3D modelling. I am just getting into this and downloaded Blender3D and would like to hear other people's opinions on the software available. [Edited on October 14, 2006 by PEader] ____________ I see 57,005 people.

Price and fur, oh and compatibility with mods. Its my friends software so I don't really own it, I actually use Anim8r, but find it quite limited unless you My friends personal favourite is animation master - i think thats what its called- which also costs money. To be honest i personnaly think unless doing professsional work for a console or pc equivilant use a free one [Edited on October 14, 2006 by toco123] ____________ Kamasutra: The new Massively Multiplayer Foreplaying Game

Fiona games are terrible -9616558 posts	I use 3DSMax 6 most of the time. I find it good for low-poly modelling, but an absolute bastard to texture in. Metasequoia is a good simple low-poly modeller made by some Japanese peeps. I recommend giving it a quick look. [Edited on October 15, 2006 by Fiona] ____________ laffo

TheMI3 Starving Artist 520 posts	Quote: 3ds max 8 I have a lot of friends doing digital animation for their degree, and they practically live in 3d max. I swear, I sometimes watch them using the program for 4 hours, and it looks like they've done nowt. It is also true that it's a bitch to texture in. ____________ This is my Blog.

g105b None 86 posts	I love using Google SketchUP for creating 3D models. It doesn't do the best rendering, but you can then export the model into another program like 3D studio to render.
