subject: The Best 3D Animation Programs [print this page] Poser. Poser.
Poser is a beginner program that teaches the basics of 3D animation without the tedious hassles of some more advanced software. Poser has a full catalog of pre-made models as well as individual features that can easily be used with custom models. Instead of animating a model frame by frame, as some 3D Models animation software requires, Poser has preset animations, such as the WalkDesigner. Poser also has improved lighting techniques and rendering capabilities. The ease of this program makes it a competitive software package in architecture, illustration, games and films.
