Lots of crashes to me with several versions that I have tried, more than any other program at least... And, for the other issue, have you tried CINEMA 4D? The render times in "similar" proyects are inbatible in comparison...

Well, without at least a saving feature it keeps off a lot of more customers

Without the demo at all it keeps off also the others costumers.

Hey No budget, thanks for the blender tip!!! This looks great!! Totally free program, and looks very promising!

Here is the link if anyone is interested.

Anyone make anything with this software?

thanks again NoB. I guess I see where you get your name. Any other good tips?

what about cybermotion 3D DESIGNER? www.3d-designer.com ?

its for 129$ and looks pretty sweet ! for 3D

i have the DEMO.
i will prolly buy it in future
and it has almost everything BONES! ik etc!
but RIGHT NOW i am too lazy to actually learn how to operate it! !

just tried the rendering and the results look damN AMAZING!..

3D DESIGNER, yes... I was trying it (a little) and seems a very little developed program, isn't? Correct me if I'm wrong

We did a lot with blender for a trashy sci fi series. It's a really great program with a very own kind of logic e.g. you press the right mouse button to select things. The program has a very steep lurning curve but if you master it you will get a really great tool. You can even do radiosity and games with it. And there is a nice little toon shader as well.

THANK YOU for the info , ¡s this toon shader included in the own program or like a plugin?

I mean this : without any demo, they keep of a large part of a potential customers. Including myself.

I understood.

thanks pintman. I will play around with it. As a teacher anything I can use for free is great! I am learning animation as a hobbie, but I teach a liitle of it at the school I teach at.

Wow, even teachers are attracted by moho

Welcome, but sorry i forgot my homework

$300 is a very reasonable price for a powerful animation program like A:M and the render quality, although lacking, can produce good results. I've had crashing problems too in some versions, but those eventually went away with bug fixes and updates (which are frequent). The character modeling in A:M is the most pleasant and intuitive of any 3D program I have used, but for non-character modeling you're better off something else. It's great for "cartoony" 3D modeling and renders, but not so good for photorealistic effects.

Is not that expensive but ..you can't import so you can' t use preexisted models and okay , I am not sure that I 'll be able to do anything with it.
The movies in ther website are wonderful, my jaw dropped to the floor but 300 is not that cheap for me, now.
I dl jpatch and try to model something.
After several hours I gave up. For me , milkshape is much more easy to use.

You can import and export DXF files. I think you can also import other files with 3d party software (like .obj files).

There's also Shade from e-frontier (which imports and exports Animation:Master files, I think.)
