Are these really good programs for animation?
NewTek Lighwave 3D 9, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, and Maxon Cinema 4D. I have been looking at these programs for animation (video games and animated movies) But i honestly don't know if they are as good as they say they are. So let me know what you think of these programs for those purposes.
Thanks.
Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium may be overkill for video games and animated movies. For video games you probably will need a game engine as well (are you planning on doing moding? or building from scratch?) If you are doing flash games or 2d animation, then I can see you just needing Flash CS4 Professional. The rest of the stuff is focused on building your website and presenting everything -- you may need it, but if you're just focused on animation and not on building an entire web-site will all the bells/whistles, then it's definately overkill.
For 3d animation, Lightwave and Cinema 4D are both very good programs used by professionals. But arguably, they are middle-tier. Lightwave used to be on top, particularly with tv production, but that's been a while.
The programs owned by autodesk (Maya, 3d Max and XSI) are generally considered top tier. Maya was used for animating in most of the projects by Weta (Lord of the Rings), Sony (SpiderMan), and Industrial Light and Magic (Star Wars).
9th Annual San Francisco SuperMeet to Offer Free Workshops
"This is the first time in SuperMeet history that we are offering free workshops and we have tapped into exciting content and workflows on HDSLR filmmaking, editing and post-production finishing featuring Canon, Adobe, Autodesk and Red Giant," states Daniel Berube, SuperMeet co-producer and head of the Boston Final Cut Pro User Group (bosfcpug). "We have always wanted to offer free workshops to our community and to have these great companies bring top industry talent to share their knowledge and expertise is a bonus for all of us."
Canon will focus on the evolving workflow of HDSLR filmmaking, post production and delivery and show how to get the most out of the stunning range of Canon video enabled DSLRs like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 7D and Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. Adobe will provide beginning and advanced users the latest workflow integration between Final Cut and Creative Suite 4 Production Premium and will provide a sneak peek at performance gains that the new Adobe Mercury Playback Engine will deliver. Autodesk will show off and detail in-depth the editorial, conforming, color correction and advanced 2D and 3D compositing workflow of their just announced "Smoke on a Mac." Red Giant will introduce and detail the workflow of several new tools and upgrades to their software that allow for finishing HDSLR and tapeless projects directly within Final Cut Pro.
