Nendo vs Animation Master?

by Michael · in Artist Corner · 02/02/2001 (11:26 am) · 6 replies

For a beginning 3d modeler/animator would I be better off to pay 100 dollars for Nendo or 300 dollars for Animation Master?

    Haven't used Animation Master, but I have used Nendo. I have found that it is a relatively good application, it has amazing tutorials, but they make it seem a great deal easier than it is. I have had frequent problems with precision, mostly due to the interface... and it's crashed my computer ...perhaps three or four times. Then again, I'm using version 1.0, so I'm sure it has seen a few revisions since 1998. Check out their website for demos.

    Just reading through the Nendo feature list, it doesn't look like it supports any form of animation.

    If your just breaking into modeling i would suggest milkshape a 30 day trial is available and can registared for 20 bucks, it supports animation and various forms of export in cluding halflife unreal 3ds and most of the other popular formats powerfull and cheap

    I would also recomend milkshape, its very popular and should have decent support if enough people use it.

    on the same note after reading some of the reviews and interveiws various people have apparently offered to write a milkshape plugin for the V12 teq, so it looks like it will be well supported. as a milkshape sdk is available, this may be of interest to the programers here too, any that werent aware of it.
