Which Shape/Animation Creation tools are best for games

by Andy_G · in Artist Corner · 09/18/2007 (2:53 pm) · 3 replies

Can anyone please name me some of the best Shape/Animation Creation tools,
would be very helpfull as i plan to stick with it.

i prefer an easy to learn but powerfull Shape/Animation Creation tool
that is used for many projects by professionals and known for its powerful graphics.
something that takes full advantage of the TGE!
a tool that i can use to cover all the concepts for creating 3D Shapes/Animations.
and yet something that focuses its aspects on the 3D Shape/Animation Creation environment.

Some advice will be very helpfull and also some proof would be great!

It really depends on how much your willing to spend. There are some free tools as well as high priced.
It depends on what you are most comfortable with.

Blender free
MilkShape $40
Softimage XSI $500 - $5000
Maya $2000- $7000
3d max $3500
lightwave I'm not sure.

Well you have the prices. If you rich download the demos and pick the one you like best, because its a matter of preference.
