It depends on what you want. If you are looking for 3D design software for purchase, there are a lot, Autodesk Inventor, Unigraphics, CATIA, Pro/Engineer, Alibre design, to name a few. Check out a web site such as http://www.cadalyst.com/cadalyst/ or http://www.freebyte.com/cad/cad.htm#2D3DCADSystems.

Gamemaker has a large community of people building games with it. Also 3D Gamemaker looks like a nice one but for this software you need to pay.

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 )

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.

unfortunately i cannot give you a direct answer. what you will find with all the 3d apps out there is they they are all different. i am a 3d studio max user myself, i just found that easier to work with, but i know many people who find maya or XSI or lightwave easier to use. the bese sugestion i can offer is that you give the demo's a go. 3d studio max has a 30 day trial, and maya has a personal lerning edition (PLE) give them a go, use the tuts that come with the programs, you can even visit websites like www.3d-palace.com and www.3dbuzz.com who both have larve amounts of FREE video tutorials for most 3d packages out there. once you've used the 3d packages then and only then can you answer the question, which is easier and which one you should start with.\n\n i hope this helps\n\neagle4

The movies \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_3D\n\nsome video tutorials\nhttp://www.blender3d.org/cms/Video_Tutorials.396.0.html\n\nSign up and use the popular blender forums\nhttp://www.elysiun.com/forum/\n\nhttp://www.blender3d.com/cms/Websites.7.0.html\n\nA lot of your knowledge will translate because you know 3D terminology.  \n\nGet used to the GKey Skey and using the middle mouse button.

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

Well, the first cheap (as in free) 3D modeling program that comes to my mind is Blender, which is available for several platforms. However, you may or may not find the interface kinda weird to use, depending on what you've used before.

A tie...\n\nThe GIMP (General Image Manipulation Program). This software is pretty much a clone of Photoshop, and has most of its basic functions. There is a version for Linux and Windows at www.gimp.org.\n\nor...\n\nBlender, a complete 3D program that is extremely functional and flexible. You can make animations, models for games, artwork... you name it. It is kind of hard to learn though... BTW, Blender just came out with a new release which has SO many great new features.
