There is lots of software to make 3d animation. Some of it is free, and some of it is very expensive. It seems that 3ds Max and Maya are the two main packages used in professional 3d animation, with Cinema 4d being third, and Houdini being the last of the 4 major packages. The more i look into this, the more it seems that there most animation artists use several different application-specific tools to get the best result. I have left out the Adobe range of products.<\/p>\n

Autodesk 3ds Max $3495
\nAutodesk Maya Unlimited $4995
\nAutodesk Maya Complete $1995<\/p>\n

Houdini Master $7995
\nHoudini Escape $1995
\nMaxon Cinema 4D Studio Bundle $3695
\nMaxon Cinema 4D Core $995
\nLightWave 3D $795
\nCarrara Pro $549
\nHash Animation Master $299
\nTrueSpace free
\nBlender free<\/p>\n

3D modeling software, that perhaps can be exported to animation software when completed, and some DVD-authoring software. Note, most packages support Maya and 3ds Max formats and obj format.<\/p>\n

Poser Pro $499
\nPoser $249
\nSketchUp Pro $495
\nZbrush $595
\nBryce $99
\nFaceGen $299
\nArt of Illusion free
\nDAZ Studio free
\nDX Studio Pro $530
\nDX Studio Standard $250
\nSony Vegas Movie Studio $495
\nMagix Video Pro X $249<\/p>\n

\nI’ve learned that video editing software can have almost as large an impact on a 3D movie as the software to create the movie itself, so have researched a bit on what product is best. There are some free ones, but the only free one that looks good is Windows Movie Maker, and also one very expensive one – Avid – is left off this list. There are also a few solely for Mac, but left off this list as i use Windows.
\nAdobe Premiere Elements $80
\nAdobe Premiere Pro $700
\nPinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate $120
\nCyberlink Power Director 8 $100
\nMagix Movie Edit Pro 15 $50
\nUlead Video Studio 11 $130
\nCorel Video Studio Pro X2 $90
\nSony Vegas Pro9 $500
\nSony Vegas Movie Studio9 $100<\/p>\n

Right now i’m leaning to the very first one or very last one.
