    getting into to 3D animation

    I want to use 3D art for an upcoming project and was wondering what software flash users recommended, liked, etc.

    I have been checking out Swift 3D's website. I like what I see. Is this the best route to go?

    Thanks.

    yes have to agree with emm_eye...

    I have Swift3D, 3DMax, and Amapi3D and if you never touched 3D and you are after basic images with little animation then Swift will do the job and is a good little starter package especially if used in conjunction with Flash.

    But if your adventurous and have the money and time to learn then I reccomend 3DMax. Very powerful but a big learning curve needed to get your head round it if just starting with 3D...

    Depends on what you want to do with it.

    I'd reccomend Cinema4D for beginners... or if its vector based stuff you want to do then go with swift.

    Moved to 3D forum too
