Ignatius asked:


When I say 3d imaging software, I mean things like auto desk maya, google sketch up, true space and etc. I am already affiliated with all of these programs, but they are extremely difficult to use (except for google sketch up). I need a program that gives me the ability to create realistic renders, make animated scenes (and render those too), easily create models and lets me export my animations. But I need one that is cost effective, in other words, I’d like more bang for my buck.

Simon T asked:


So what i am searching for is a software that is similar to 3ds max but can render itself to look somewhat like cartoonish .
Remember the game The curse of monkey island (screen : http://ui20.gamespot.com/1395/mibloodislandhotel_2.jpg)

I want something like that . I know drawing the whole background is what makes the game so nice , but ile manage for a 3d program then export the 2d view .

Or you can suggest a rendering program with whch ile render my 3ds max files .

Anything helps . Thanks

I was just wondering what general categories of software are needed to develop a 3d game. I already have the graphics part covered with Autodesk Softimage, but what other types would be needed; i.e., what software is used for programming the code or AI?
