Hi! I have been wondering, how I would be able to make a computer generated caracter? Is there any software for a beginner? Its not for playing in a game. I don't want to spend alota money for it.
Thanks!

Hi! Wow! Thanks for the quick responses. What I had in mind is something like clay-mation but it is completely computer generated, or like cartoon caracters, But it looks like it's 3D,
Thanks again!

ok i was at a nice page www.toonboom.com i think it's a nice software (you have to buy but there's a trial version!) i couldn't try it (because of some problems!) but i think you could take a look at it!

If you don't have any experience with 3d modeling software you're gonna have a steep learning curve to go through.

I had a demo of 3D Max it was smarter than me, but supposede to be the best 3d modeler in the world. That's thier claim anyway.

STEEP Learning curve Yessirrie

I'll second that BC....damn hard to figure out on your own. I think I uninstalled it out of frustration. ( although I have Bryce 5 sitting there doing nuttin' cause I can't figure that one out either. )

Hi! I'm back. I've decided that the software that I'll need would be a 3D modeler. Now comes the big question. What brand, What seller, and Where can I find it for less than $40???
I don't mind if I have to go through a steep learning curve. Thanks for All of your replies!!!!
