Hi there, I am very interested in getting into 3D modelling and animation but am not sure where to start. I will be using animations and images in Windows based multimedia presentations, as well as images for use in DTP. How do I find out if 3D Studio is my answer and if not where can I get info on other 3D modellers / animators. If it is my answer, could someone answer the following: I understand 3D Studio needs a lot of Ram. Are we talking 16mg or 128mg?? (I would use it on a stand alone machine) I'm guessing a 17" + monitor is recoommended. What about for outputting to video. What sort of equip is needed there or is that a totaling different area?? Will a processor such as a 486 DX2-66 suffice or do I need something faster… Thanks very much for anyhelp offered. Its enormousl;y appreciated. If I need to give more info about what I will use it for just yell. Thanks again regards Greg Barnett Infotecture Sydney, Australia
