good 3d movie makers? pls reply

[sweet_thing2090]

Im gonna be starting a new game (after a loong break lol) and apart rom cinema 4d(tried that it was hard) is there any other 3d movie makers out there. I want one that is easy to learn but still good and doesnt take to long as i want more time to make the game. Ive tried milkshape 3d (kool, but still kinda hard), and the closest is animoids but it restarts all the time to refresh the memory and it was fine at the start but got annoying. im alos not keen on the plain picture background as the set. if there is anything similar to that, please post. many thanks :P

Next time, PM a moderator or report the thread, instead of posting a duplicate in (another) wrong forum. Moved.

The Movies utility is what came to mind, first. Dunno what the statutes of limitations are on that, though.

PS: You spent $1200 on Cinema 4D, and then aren't going to use it? Holy hell.

That's what I said about someone who said that they have Photoshop but they would rather use MS Paint, but I think my post got deleted, for some reason.

You could probably use Maya or 3DSMax.

Although a budget choice for such could be gmax.

There is a tool called A:M Studio that I think is really awesome. It is under $200 (I think...), and can make a lot of really great stuff. I haven't used it personally, but I've seen what it can do, and I am completely impressed.

Hope that helps. See ya,

@Twar3Draconis: gmax is only for modelling, you won't make a movie with it.

3Ds max Is really Good I made theese. http://www.freewebs.com/trogador_2005/my3dmodels.htm

Blender 3d. Free. Easy. Movies and stills. Works great with other video editors.

 

[Tohsaka]

The ones that I use are gmax, and anim8or.

 

[sweet_thing2090]

kool, lots of people repkied, dont usually get that.. thanks everyone!. I'll take alook at the things mentioned.

Fact is, I find Cinema4D the most simple, personally. Something also tells me that SweetThing isn't going to really try software, given he gave up on C4D and Milkshape so quickly.

im hoping you just missed out the s on he lol. don;t think a guy would put a username as sweetthing would they?

They might. I might. Are you sexist???>:|

lol. course not. just pointing out thats all.

 

[sweet_thing2090]

I wouldn't be surprised. *cough* Ice Puppet.

...I said I wasn't didn't I?, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Is that meant to offend me? Look, I'm not here to start a fight, I'm just asking for help here, so don't start calling names and 'coughing'.

well, I took a look at all the suggestions and there all good, and blender 3d looks awesome, I've seen some movies made from it and they look great! I've tried anim8or right now and this is my first outcome using a tutorial so I can get the hang of it:

[crazymew]

are any of these free? and if so where are/is the site(s)?

 

[High Hopes]

Blender is free. The others (except Milkshape) cost too much money for anyone who isn't in professional game design to use.

 

[arev]

and I don't suppose any of you considered purchasing a student version of the software? 3ds max sv is about €120, so it's not that big money. of course it's for non-commercial use only.

 

[sweet_thing2090]

blender and anim8or are free. im hoping once i get the hang of anim8or ill try again with blender (i got stuck on the tutorial...) as it looks better when I compared some examples I found on youtube.com (some of the blender stuff are amazing) but i finally got somewhere with anim8or.
