Computer 3D animation or CGI animation is the process used for generating animated images by using computer graphics
. The more general term computer generated encompasses both static scenes and dynamic images, while
computer animation only refers to moving images made using 3d softwares.
10 Types of 3D Animation Software Worth Knowing
Bryce (DAZ 3D)
It now includes animation features as well, while still having a
beginner friendly interface and render setup. It doesn’t get much easier
than Bryce for beginners, but it offers very little to advanced
animators.
Blender (The Blender Foundation)
Blender is the perfect introduction to all that 3D software has to offer
animators. Not only is it capable of most of the features the top of
the line products boast on their bullet point lists, but it’s 100% free.
Poser (Smith Micro Software)
If you just want a program that will help you easily animate 3D
characters, then Poser and its free library of base human and animal
meshes is still something worth having in your back pocket at all times,
even if you eventually move on to more complex 3D software in the
future.
Maya (Autodesk)
Many prefer its interface, and it has a cloth and particle physics
engine for all your simulation needs. However, the icing on the cake is
Maya Live’s motion tracking tools.
3ds Max (Autodesk)
If you want a program solely for animation it may not be the best
choice, but for an all encompassing 3D software package it’s still
arguably the best complete kit on the market. In recent years it’s also
seen huge strides in compositing software that can come bundled with it.
Cinema 4D (Maxon)
While some of the 3D industry is moving in specialized smaller
directions, Maxon’s directly taking on 3ds Max by offering a complete 3D
art package that can do just about anything.
RealFlow (Next Limit Technologies)
So you don’t want to animate a character or an animal, but
instead have to deal with incredibly complex environmental or physics
animations. RealFlow is the answer.
