The 3d capabilities of those programs is severely limited compared to a real modelling program.

Blender has a really unique interface (different from many others.) but nothing beats free!

Thanks! What if I wanted to make 3d games... what do I have to learn

just answering the question above to anyone whos intersted in 3D Games...

You can actualy start creating your own 3D games in blender (aswell as the usual animation or just 3D images)
I would recomend it to anyone who is serious about making their own games or even just wanting to create 3D moddels
However, there is loads of coding involved (python) so makesure its something you realy want to do as its not easy at first!
which takes me back to a question in the python forum ~link~
where Nexus asks what python can be used for, alot of things but theone i use it for is my Blender projects

so if youre already into webdesign (like me)
and you are interested in creating 3D stuff you gota check it out!

When i was in middle school, I needed to choose an extracuricular class, and I took engineering. For two reasons it was available, and the guy said we'd work on computers LOL.
Well it ended up we mainly used 3d Studio Max. And I loved it. For me it was easy to get into. I took three years of that class. Could have taken a fourth but decided that I'd rather leave school early instead.

Anyways, I think that autodesk makes the best programs, but I'm sure it's just a personal bias, but they DID buy out Maya.

Posting way outta date from the date this post was orginally started.

I'd suggest TruSpace 3.2 (Its a old old, VERY old 3d program, but tons of basic 3d modeling features and FREE)

I mainly use it for 3d object creation and animation. I like it because i'm able to save 3d objects as an X-file. Its not really to good for close up detailing due to the boxy like shapes of your objects but from a distance the models can look pretty decent. I usually use other programs to wrap textures and etc. on the objects, since its somewhat out of date...lol.

It also has some pretty good step-by-step tutorials that shows you how to use some of the features and how to do a few different 3d objects.

Im using 3DS Max 2009 atm
It has some cool features and you can make everything u want
They changed the material editor into something really complicated but with a few hours of messing around u should be able to make really nice materials.

If you dont want to pay I suggest Blender indeed
Or get 3ds max on a diffrent way xD

if you are really interested in learining animation then this new opensource community designing software could be of some use to you. it is a 3DMLW based editor called QuantumHog. pretty simple to use and free to downlaod, right now they have relaesed a bet version, but it is worth trying. using this it's almost as easy to make a 3D web applications with it as it is to write an HTML website.

Blender is amazing... the only bad thing at first glance is the interface, but I've been told once you really start using it, you just wish every application used something similar.

I'm an advocate of most open source applications, so I'm all for promoting Blender, but just to realize the sheer power of this application take a look at this:

many people may go through lots of programs and not like any of them and you may like the one they hate most... but it is all about who uses it.

We have a website for our company. Now we plan to add some animation. Can you please tell me whether 3D animation renders good visual effects?

I am a web designer and I would say 3D rendering is much more difficult and is a better choice. If you have further queries, visit this website http://si-r-usdesign.com/. I have got lot of information from them.

There are several 3D design tools and programs, but it is likely that the architectural design drawing and painting, modeling, 3D animation, you can also use a tablet or other instruments, pills, perhaps many Paint or Photoshop author, text and tables.
