369960
there's no good and bad in 3d software.\nthere are 6 high-end software though.. it doesnt matter which one you pick!\n(Maya, Max, Lightwave, Houdini, Softimage, Cinema 4d)\n\nall of them can be wonderful if you know how to use them.. if they are so difficult or expensive for you.. there are other choices like:\n"blender", "hash animation master", "anim8or", etc\n\nit's good to know, the most used software in visual effects industry is Maya. the usual software in game industry is Max. the usual software for particles and effects is Houdini. but it doesnt make them any better from eachother.

For 3D Animation:\n* Blender ( http://www.blender3d.org/ ) - a little difficult to master, but the best\n* Art of Illusion ( http://www.artofillusion.org/ )\n* Clay3D ( http://www.clay3d.org/wiki/Main_Page )\n\nFor 2D Animation\n* KToon ( http://ktoon.toonka.com/ currently available only for Linux and other Unix-like systems)\n\nUIRA ( http://www.uira.org/ ) is a project to create an open-source alternative to Macromedia Flash -- the version available is 0.0.1 beta and is not suitable for doing anything serious. But in future, it might be the best one.

If you can't afford Paintshop pro or Photoshop go free with GIMP.  Very powerful and FREE!  Very similar to either mention above.  If you're looking into 3D modeling again free!!! blender3D.  Awesome products.  I use them to make graphics or render 3D worlds(still working on this one).http://www.gimp.org and http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Home.2.0.html \nHope you like,  Remeber like any software you won't get things overnight, practice practice practice...

Poser 6 is a good program, but is kind of expensive. A similar program is Daz|Studio, available at www.daz3d.com. It does nearly the same thing as Poser, but is completely free. However, both programs need 3d models that you can either purchase through various sites, or you can find some freebies floating around.

Start by downloading a 3D development kit and study the API's and tutorials that are available in them.  Your choices are basically OpenGL or Direct3D.  Direct3D is a Microsoft product while OpenGL is a more open standard; if you have any experience with Microsoft development tools Direct3D might be the better choice.  If you prefer Linux use OpenGL.

None I can think of, but even though if you find it you won't able to play a smooth 3D graphic game. \n  The reason to have a good 3D card is to help generate a detail graphic with certain pre-programed graphic logarithm build in in the card to reduce the CPU processing time.\n  So if you want the CPU to generate all the graphic in the game, which make the game very very slow, highly likely it is not playable.

You can try Irrilicht or Ogre. Search for them using yahoo search engine. You should also have some knowledge about 3D programming.

There are a lot of 3D imaging/designing software that designs specific area of your home, like 3D Kitchen Architect. Or you can use a general 3D imaging software like 3D Studio Max or an open-source version like Blender 3D (http://www.blender3d.org/). The general 3D imaging softwares will require a lot more work on your end, which software like 3D Kitchen Architect is more drag and drop.

For 3D Maya or 3Ds Max\n\nFor 2D Macromedia Flash (try getting a trial)\n\nAny good aniamtion program (not just sequencing crappy gifs) is going to have a VERY steep learning curve and will be VERY expensive!  For 2D invest in a tablet, a good one, a good scanner, and DVDs or CDs for backup.  For traditional get a light table (cheap tracing boxes $20) normal light tables (100 if you're lucky).    Paper is expensive at 30 for a small pack, but you can but it unpunched if you want to invest in a $1000 hole punch.  If you want good equipment, it's way beyond an amateurs price tag.  Then you typically scan it in and use Flash, Photoshop or Illustrator even to clean it up.\n\nYou can draw with sand or paint to experiment.  For claymation you need a special camera (200+) and film and the like.  Then a cheap or free editing program.\n\nFlash and 3Ds Max are the biggies so you will need $500 and a $20 manual and a lot of time seearching EBAY for used equipment.\n\nCutouts are a simple way to start off.  So flash might be the best way to start.  Also, it's almsot impossible to learn basic techniques like timing by starting out with 3D, so 2D is the way to start off.  Traditional first, the rest follows.
