asmith Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 hey guys i wanna start to learn some animation. i wanted to know what program for creating animation (like 3D max studio) do you offer ? i do prefer to start one hard and heavy program from zero than starting from easy programs then switching to hard ones. so what program will be my "the only one" ? (i wonder what Pixar uses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Blender? I believe one major studio uses this open source package, though I can't remember which one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 that was the answer to pixar question and the program you suggest ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 that was the answer to pixar question and the program you suggest ? Neither. I've never used a 3D animation package before, but that was the only Open Source one I was aware of, so that you could give it a go without it costing you money, and the fact that it is used my a major studio to prove its worth. Just throwing it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmith Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 i see. well in my country there's no copy right or something for softwares yet. you can buy photoshop , windows ... anything for 1$ . then again you can't find any original software (even if you wanna pay). so in this case i just need to know the name, and that would cost 1$. but i really appreciate, you thought about how much it would cost for me, thanks!

zq29 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_and_copyright_issues So, theoretically, it would be legal to own pirated software if it originated in Iran? Or does UK/US law make the purchase itself illegal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 No, US/UK laws do only apply within US/UK territory. The same goes for all other national laws.

Stooney Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Some of the leading programs are 3D Studio Max and Maya. I've heard Maya is 'harder', but that doesn't necessarily mean more capable. If you're not looking for 3D animation specifically, you could try out flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb81 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Pixar uses Renderman - http://renderman.pixar.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I felt Blender was too complicated (that may have changed since my last use) but... There is also 3D canvas: http://www.amabilis.com/ There is a free version, but then their are also upgrades to it where the most expensive one (3D Canvas Pro) is only $70.00 Features - http://www.amabilis.com/onlineregistration.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the leading programs are 3D Studio Max and Maya. I've heard Maya is 'harder', but that doesn't necessarily mean more capable. If you're not looking for 3D animation specifically, you could try out flash. i never liked flash. it renders frames somehow i could never stand it. plus i guess my final destination will be 3D animations. so maybe i pick 3d max. but i do have intrest for 2d animations. how they have made these old 2d games? i mean any specific softwares ?

The Little Guy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 for 2d games you could use gamemaker http://www.yoyogames.com/gamemaker/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does UK/US law make the purchase itself illegal? I doubt it. I seem to remember a similar argument circulating about music downloads - if the server the music was being download from was in a country in which copyright laws were not enforced/did not exist, then there was nothing stopping people in other countries downloading the music. Im fairly sure it wasn't true, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
