Blender - make 3d
modeling for graphics and animationsHere's a review from a new guest reviewer.
Tutelage at Xanga.
Check out his site, it's very cool.
Alternative to $400 / 500mb Maya or 3d Studio
Max. This free 5mb program packs a punch. It runs on Mac,
Linux, Solaris and several other platforms. The animations that it's
capable of rivals that of Maya (used in Lord of the Rings movies). It
has keyboard shortcuts for virtually all functions (like Maya) and
worthwhile to learn for speed and efficiency.
Blender, the open source software for
3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation
and playback. Available for Windows, Linux, Irix, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD or
Mac OS
