The other major consideration comes down to team situations, when you have other people working on your 3D assets their own choice of file formats, applications and workflows needs to be taken into account. if you want to get into making a lot of great character animations then having powerful tools to do the job makes a lot of sense.Ī lot of people are going to recommend a particular app because they have invested time and money into it themselves and they are very comfortable with how to do certain things in it. But one killer feature may be enough to justify the price for some people, e.g.
I would probably have saved up to buy a higher end 3D package by now except I haven't needed to yet, and quite a number of the more exciting and sophisticated features that high-end packages have to bring 3D scenes to life are not really very suitable for creating assets to be used for realtime 3D anyway.
Personally I tend to have more time than money, so my tool choices so far, as a mac user are Cheetah3D, blender, Groboto and Zbrush. Try other packages and see if they seem easier to use, and whether the features and increased ease of use justify the spending of quite a lot of money.
Your budget, existing knowledge of using certain software, and exact feature requirements are key, along with personal preferences as to what sort of user interface works best for you.īlender has plenty of features these days, so the first question is what you need from another package that you cannot achieve in blender. Its a balance between various things that will vary between people.
