What is the most cost effective 3d imaging software?

This Question From Auto Affiliate Programs | 3 Answers

QUESTION:

When I say 3d imaging software, I mean things like auto desk maya, google sketch up, true space and etc. I am already affiliated with all of these programs, but they are extremely difficult to use (except for google sketch up). I need a program that gives me the ability to create realistic renders, make animated scenes (and render those too), easily create models and lets me export my animations. But I need one that is cost effective, in other words, I’d like more bang for my buck.

One word my friend…. Blender – http://www.blender.org , I’ll not try and kid you here, the interface is quite daunting to begin with and takes time to learn, but the results you can produce are easily comparable to Maya or 3DSMax and the best thing about it is that it’s completely free and open-source and that’s about as much bang for your buck as you’re gonna get. It will render out in over 15 formats including AVI, AVIJpeg, Jpeg , PNG, BMP etc etc, and as it is open-source there is a huge community of users, tutorials and forums freely available on the net to help you along the way. As an added bonus it also has a built in game engine that will let you produce stand alone executable games without any programming! What more could you ask? Check out what I produce with Blender here – http://www.spiceyoursite.co.uk or google Blender Art to see work produced by other users of this great software.
