Hi my name is Darren Price and I want to start to learn how do 3d graphics and modelling but i don't know what software to use. Some people i know said use 3d max some have said to use Maya but when I'm on this site I see loads more 3d software like Eovia carrara and Lightwave. So I was wondering can you people give any suggesting on what software to use please, so i can do boss images like all you people on this site. :confused:

Thank You all

Darren

To answer you question on waht sofware to use for 3d as a beginer. It would be good to know what you want to do with it. Make a liwing with it or just inmpress your friends. Do architectureal pri vis, broadcast graphics, film FX, cartoon animation, maybe print, or just wast some spare time. On the hi end site there are probabli four world class 3d packages awailable to the simle people out there, 3D max, Maya, XSI and Lightwave. All four are very similar as they all have modeling and animations tools. There are some packeges obove those four that are beyound the exces and availability all the custom stuff that ILM and Pixar uses, stuff that runs on expensive hardware set ups. And there is a whole bunch of lower end sofware packeges that are mostly easy to use and simple to handle, pacages like Cinema 4d, poser, eovia carrara and so on.
