Anim8or Help

I am new here, and ive been hearing a lot about the program Anim8or. Before i joined this forum, i had never even heard of this program. I have heard of Maya, Flipboom, and a few other animating programs but never this particlar one.

Few questions…

  1. Why is it so popular, what sets it apart from the other software programs?

  2. If is expensive?

  3. Where would i be able to get ahold of it?

I dont think animation studios use this program, i was under the impression that they all used Maya, but maybe im wrong?

Thanks everyone! :smiley:

I have not tried Anim8or - I have Blender. From what I have seen, Blender may have more features on it, and it is under a free license agreement, so any shorts, stills, etc. that you make on it are absolutely yours. You should probably check if Anim8or has the same agreement.

That is what I was told by someone in the industry, and I went with Blender, since anything that I make on it is mine, and it is free. Sorry, don’t have the links to the other ones right now. Maybe I’ll look them up again later…

There is also a thread about Blender here on Pixar Planet…

And like I said in another thread on here, you can try searching Anim8or+Tutorials on Google. There are probably sites, (from others that do use it), that will show you how to do specific types of modeling.

Ill check out Blender this weekend. I dowloaded the link to Anim8or and it looks a bit out-dated, but i havent really had time to pla around with it too much.
