3D - 2

What is the easiest 3d software to learn?

I really want to get into 3d animation and want to know what is the easiest to learn and powerful. I've tried Luxology Modo...is that just modeling or is it animations too, also is Blender 3d easy?

1. Blender, is by no means easy. lol. But it is one of the BEST modeling(3-d) software out there... Its very complicated and hard to learn but once you get the hang of it, you will be so glad you learned.
2. I've tried maya, 3ds, blender, and softimage. Softimage was by far the easiest to learn, but once I got good at it I realized how much it sucked. Maybe it would be good to learn it to get used to the fundamentals then switch to something else.
3. Well to tell you the truth they are all different in their own ways, and what may be easy to some may not be to others...What you can do is get a trial version of the ones your thinking about using and see which one your more comfortable with Really, PERSONALLY i think you should learn what most people would consider industry standard or what the specific studio or place your trying to work for use ( or just use which ever you like the best, or find the most interesting which is somewhat equally a strong point ). To answer your Question, if im not Wrong Modo can do modeling and sculpting, texture and shading and probably more and i think the new Modo 401 can even do some animations...and i never used blender so i don't know how easy or difficult it is. Good luck on your decision
