Hey all,
Im new to 3d so im just wondering whats the best one out there?

[Hoot]

depends on what your doing, if your looking to go the professional rought look for some paid software (Maya, 3Ds Max, Cinema 4D etc.) if you just want to start learning 3d and not pay any money try Blender 3D

thanks Hoot

I downloaded Blender.. its kinda confusing but im going to keep trying it

[ecker00]

Blender is HARD to understand, or i think so. C4D or 3Ds Max is best, maya i use myself. Going to change

C4D Pwns

none is better than another one in my opinion. You can achieve pretty much the same thing in the 3 main softwares (3ds, c4d, maya). Just use the one your comfortable with. I personally use C4D, but if you want to do something more specific, there's always some good softwares like Terragen for landscapes for example...

All the softwares in which you could do anything you want are best. For this you need to know the software inn depth, know every feature of it and how it works. Read the complete reference or help of the software.
And after you can do anything in that software you prefer not to leave it. Many 3D softwares are capable of doing anything only you need to know how to do it. That is my opinion.

Thank you all - Mihir
