I need a 3d software for mac
what do you reccomend?
something with trial that i can use to see if it meets what i need to do
- harlequino0
Maya has a free trial. Wicked hard though, as it isn't intended for one user pipelines. I hear Cinema 4D is great though.

Cinema 4D is great and quite easy to learn as well...
- horton0
what kind of 3d?
- Hans0
- Crouwel0
Cinema 4D is quite possibly the best these days. Easiest to learn and you can buy modules, the basic version is very affordable.
Even though Maya and LIghtwave are good too..

I recently started using Cinema 4D after not doing any 3D work for years. So far so good. It's ability to render multipass files along with an After Effects project file is hard to beat.

I use C4D for theatrical film titles, and it's easy, fast, and has long legs.

i use cinema 4d to make nice marmelade and biscuits.

cinema 4d can also open up lwo files (lightwave format)
- orkman0
C4D or Maya.
- Sooz0
depends on what u r aiming at, Modeling in Modo and Lightwave (they are the best) The render engine is awesome in Lightwave too. C4D is sweet, robust and easy to use, that is why is an industry in Motion Graphics. Maya is great for character animation but not very user friendly.
Too bad there is no XSI for Mac T.T I would go for that

3D spinning text is a complicated thing. it is the holy grail of 3d expertise.
