Blender 3d Software Interface
Jul/110
Which 3D software is the most difficult to master?
I have fooled around with at least four 3D animation software suites and the hardest one I’ve dabbled in was Autodesk Maya the PLE Personal Learning Edition. It was so hard I had become frustrated and gave up. Shade is kind of hard too but at least I managed to develop an understanding on how to use the software.
Then there is blender another 3D software I just don’t like and couldn’t get into. Sure blender is free but I just don’t like it’s interface.
However I found an even better software which is easier and cheaper than Shade 3D it’s called Cheetah 3D. It was the easiest because the interface made sense to me.
Anyone else know of really hard 3D animation/modeling software.
Well what maybe hard for some may not be to others…In example of what i mean by what maybe hard for some may not be to others. Maya (it can be complicated like you said), but i think it make perfect sense, i find it very quick and intuitive (maybe it’s because i was already familiar with another application)…again what maybe easy to someone may not be to someone else, at the end, which ever software is is, it usually depend on the person..
