[Flashcoders] Easy to learn and use 3d program
Hi, I'm looking for an easy to learn and use 3d program to create content for Flash. What are your suggestions? I want to do fairly simple animations, but I need something that are a bit more complex than say, Xara3d. -- Varmfrontsgatan 1 128 34 Skarpnäck 070 - 407 83 00 08 – 37 16 73 ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

swift3D - used in many design agencies I've worked for, not for it's features - just easy to use and create simple flash 3D content.

Re: [Flashcoders] Easy to learn and use 3d program
I do prefer something like: modelling: Blender or the like for modelling, and export to 3ds file format or the like rendering: Swift3D (IMHO: good for rendering, only) Have fun, Matthias 2006/10/27, Mike Mountain [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Cinema 4D by Maxon is both simple to use and very powerful M -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johan Nyberg Sent: 27 October 2006 08:50 To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] Easy to learn and use 3d program Hi, I'm looking for an easy to learn and use 3d program to create content for Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Easy to learn and use 3d program
Grimm posted a link to Google's SketchUp yesterday and I checked that out. It's pretty sweet. I normally do all my stuff in 3D Studio but I might use this for some rapid model building to import into Max for rendering. http://sketchup.google.com/download.html The tutorials are worth the viewing to see how cool this really is: http://sketchup.google.com/tutorials.html James James O'Reilly — Consultant Adobe Certified Flash Expert http://www.jamesor.com Design • Code • Train Johan Nyberg wrote: Hi, I'm looking for an easy to learn and use 3d program to create content for Flash.

RE: [Flashcoders] Easy to learn and use 3d program
Blender - very Powerful tool, not too bad to learn (though takes time reading the tutorials) - and Opensource (free!). Would recommend you check out Blender (or also Wings 3d, though I haven't tried that yet). However downside is no .swf output - though you could bring the model into another app which has .swf vector output like Swift3d. Blender is a great tool, and free is very attractive. Can take a few hours or days to learn the basics though. Overall, the tool is almost as powerful as high-end apps like Maya, Softimage, Lightwave and StudioMax, and being free is very attractive. If you have a small budget, swift3d is the way to go. However, modeling is somewhat limited, but great .swf output. Easy to use and learn. If you have unlimited funds, check out Maya which has modeling and .swf output. But that tool is a whole career in itself and will take a few days to learn the basics.
