Otherwise if your friend is rich he could get 3D studio max, but only if he has a few thousand to spare... 3D animation is not easy, infact it is incredibly time consuming and (from experience) can lead you to pull all nighters to make something perfect.... oh well, back to C++ for me ;) - David |

| 171831 | 2003-08-31 09:13:00 | Truespace 3 is available as a legal free download at this address www.activeworlds.com A manual is also available for download. Not in the same class as max but good for beginners and capable of basic modeling and very good output in 3d rendering. Runs on basically any pentium II/ amd k6 and up and 64 megs ram but loves lots more. There is also a demo download of maya that enables you to model and render but not to export and I believe it has no time limitations. VERY steep learning curve on that one but hugely capable. |
