My son animates beside a still camera (live action) what is the best program to use on Apple computers explicitly user-friendly. (And not to expensive.)
Answers: What s not too expensive? I guess to be exact the first query because we can move about from free to thousands. Maya is your "top of the line" and Lightwave is also a moral one, both very well certain for plentifully of 3D effects you see on TV. Anyways, while Maya is contained by the $6,000.00 breadth, if one of you is, or know a student, the student variation is lone $250. Beyond that, Cheetah 3D is accurate also and cheap (about $50 but you attain what you clear for).
You could download cracked copies for free... Now you said kid, so we ned to know how pious he is.
Anyways, fell free to contact me, and here is a relation to some 3D stuff out their.
