panthony Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Need opinions on what is the best 3D animation software that is compatible with VW such as Form Z or C4D. Seeking to move to next level in design. Thanks Ahead, Pete A Quote Link to comment
Ozzie Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Pete, Probably get chucked out of here for even suggesting this. Ozcad our distributors here in Australia sell Animation Works an add on for VW. I do not know anything about it at all - but on there website is info and pricing. www.ozcad.com.au Just a thought.

panthony Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Darrell, No...you won't get tossed. VW is a very strong 3D CAD system that I am very satisfied with, however I am looking for a system that will provide me with some rather complex animation tools. I am developing a series of post and beam homes that will have an animated assembly manual. This is not your typical fly-by or walk through. I will check into animation works from Oscad.

graz Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 We've used C4D since 2003 and have nothing but praise for the application. For your purposes, it should work very well. As far as animation goes, character animation has been a bit of a weak spot for Cinema but Arch viz and assembly will be fine. Great interface and the base price is pretty affordable. The base package will not provide Global illumination style renderings however. You'd need the add-on module. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'd put Artlantis Studio on your list of options: http://www.artlantis.com/products/studio/ Quote Link to comment
