Animation Buying Guide:
Software Product Reviews, White Papers, News and Buying Advice


Animation is no longer just kids stuff. In fact, 3D animation is big business and fully integrated across all media – television, film, games, websites, cell phones … even traditional print design employs 3D graphics for imagery creation. Understanding the need for powerful, flexible software is easy... what’s difficult is distinguishing between all the available products to find what’s right for your business. How do they differ in modeling, texturing and rendering? Which has the edge in environment building and body handling? How do they handle on different operating systems? Whether you’re a graphic designer, game designer, programmer, multimedia author, or IT decision maker, our Animation Buying Guide will lay it all out for you, so you can make the smartest buying decision.
