I'm a painter and sculptor looking to do some research into composition and perspective systems. I'm looking for a 3D CADD program which will allow to do the following: 1. Create a gridded floor plan and make and move cubic human figures on it. 2. Change the point-of-view from far to near, overhead, etc, and change the scale of image depicted at the same time, i.e. start close and move far away while keeping the depicted figures the same size. 3. Animate the above. 4. Alter the perspective system used, e.g. use a picture hemisphere instead of a picture plane, and make a movie of one becoming the other. 5. Any 3D modelling tools which allow me to refine the original humanoid forms — to make them more organic (and complex) — would be useful. Can 3D Studio handle all this? I'm excited to find out. Thank you for your reply. Kirby.
