How to start 3D animations ?

I recommend using POV-Ray to practice with, as it is easy to learn and of commercial quality, but is provided free. Since the rendering is done independently of the design work, your computer's power will not interfere with design progress.\nMany accessory programs are available that read/write pov format files, including modellers and animation programs.

I recommend you Blender 3D! Mostly because it is very very easy to use and best of all its free!! Give it a try:\n\nDownload page ( http://blender.org/cms/Download.13.0.html )\n\nHome page ( http://blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html )\n\nThere is another one called Maya 3D, which I've read from many resources it's the best 3D animation program, If money isn't a problem for you.\n\nHome page ( http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7635018 )

It is actually quite easy.  It's just something you wouldn't likely know as an early starter.\n\nIn the menu bar at the top of the window you need to pull down the Slide Show Menu.  The easist way to do this is press "ALT" followed by "D".\n\nMS Office now has intelligent menus whic only show key items and those you use the most so you may need to click the the double arrow at the bottom of the drop down menu to find the next item.\n\nSimply click the menu item titled "Custom Animation".  A new window within PP will appear at the right of your screen and a number of lables will appear next to all of your items in the presentation.  The new window will list all the items that are animated in thier order of appearance.  And clicking on each one in the list will give the details of its animation.\n\nI hope this helps, if you have further questions, just ask.

In the final frame of your animation or project, add the following script:\n\ngotoAndPlay (1);\n\nWhen the playhead reaches the final frame, the script will tell it to go to beginning frame (frame 1) and play the animation.  You'll then get a continuous loop.

Try the freeware JAnimation Shop in the source link. It is very similar to Jasc Animation Shop, which is commercial software.

Well for Flash animation i would use Macromedia Flash. But a Free alternative to Flash, which is similar to flash, is gif.   A good program to use for this is Microsoft GIF Animator (follow the link below) This is an excelent beginners program!

You have to try (at least Photoshop) on the 2 systems to see the deffrent.. Mac is powerfull in processing graphics and animation but after the new processors like(AMD 64bit/Intel P4 64bit) there i don't see any big deal from Mac..\nI didn't try it with 3D animations but i think it will the same case.

I'd to use SWiSHmax 1. It is very easy to use and convinent. And the price is also lower than Studio Flash. \n\nHere is the discription:\nSWiSHmax has everything you need to create stunning fully interactive Flash animations. You can create shapes, text, buttons, sprites, and motion paths. You can also include more than 230 ready-to-use animated effects including explode, vortex, 3D spin, and wave. You can create your own effects or make an interactive movie by adding actions to objects. A scripting language allows you to program sophisticated operations into your animations. You can preview your animation inside SWiSHmax without launching a browser or external player, and live editing lets you make changes while the animation is playing. SWiSHmax creates all the files you need to upload to your Web server, or you can generate the HTML code to paste into an existing Web page. \n\nhttp://www.download.com/SWiSHmax/3000-6676_4-10223922.html?tag=lst-6-3
