3D programs..

[Cosmico]

Hi, I would like to ask you guys what programs do you advise for 3D graphix.. I know about 3D Studio MAX but that's a little bit too much for me while I would like something easy to use and maybe without too many functions but capable to do good renderings and images possible to use also in web design.

Thank you

The only 3D sortware I have tried is "Swift 3d". It is pretty easy to use and gives decent results.

I am by no means an expert with 3D and I am sure there are better products out there, but you should keep this one in mind.

If I can use it anyone can.

Does anyone have any experience with "Blender"? A friend of mine raves about it, and best of all it is FREE!!!

I suggest you take the 'big leap' and use 3D S Max, you'll be much happier in future, as with every program it takes time to get used to.

Im sure there is a trial version (?) maybe you should try it before you buy, also try and find a trial version of 'Swift 3d' , so you can compare and see which suits you.

No, but do you where to get it from?

I'm not very experienced with 3d programs at all, but I downloaded blender3D a few months ago, and I like it, first I found it confusing and a little hard to understand, but now i'm getting into it and begining to feel that it can be really great and yes, best of all, its totally free.

I downloaded it so now I'll try it out..

thanks for the gr8 hint casper!!!

Best of luck to you Cosmico. I haven't had a chance to really mess with it too much, but as can see from the site the results can be really impressive.

Let me know how it goes.
