What 3d modeling program is easiest to learn?

Monday, May 11th, 2009




Do you think maya, lightwave or blender would be easiest to learn. I am new to the 3d modeling enviroment, however rather than just saying blender because its free or what not. I tried blender and got books on it and actually found it to be quite bad at teaching. Am i missing something? Are the others easier to learn? Are there other programs that are better or easier? Please tell

Im new to the 3d computer graphics want someone to help me?

can a scroll mouse work as a 3 button mouse in Maya?

Monday, December 15th, 2008




I’m a freelance 3d designer.I use Maya in my work. Maya requires a 3 button mouse for panning(moving view of object). My old 3 button mouse which I used with Maya broke. When i tried to buy a new 3 button mouse, I found out that it is no longer widely available in stores. What is widely available is a scroll mouse, which I’m not sure if it works the same way in Maya

2D career or 3D career?

Sunday, October 5th, 2008




I want to persue a carreer in animation. I am a born artist, and i have the ability to draw pictures in a better way than other people. I mean i got the talent!!! I am little confused on, what path to take?
3D (Maya) or 2D (photoshop, flash). As a good artist i can do good with photoshop and flash. I am not sure about 3D. If i can use my skills there and i heard the 3D provides a better salary than 2D. Which course can assure me a safe career, but also which can fulfill my artistic skills and needs????
