Tohru Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Please help! My son's technological interests have surpassed my knowledge bank and he has developed a bit of a movie making hobby. He would like to do some CGI with his movies, perhaps integrating special effects or splicing with animation, but I don't know what kind of software would help him do that. Any ideas? Maybe two different ones: one for graphics and animation and then another to splice his animations with his real-life movies? I'm hoping for cheaper... Also, if you know what the tablet drawing pad thing is that plugs into the computer, that would be great information too. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freerange Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Wacom Bamboo is probably the best graphic tablet. Look out for the editions that come with bundled software - they work out much cheaper that way. For 3D animation we've just been to a workshop using Autodesk Maya. It looks overwhelmingly complicated, but there are plenty of videos on youtube to help you figure it out. There's a free student version, so don't get sticker shock from the commercial price! http://engineeringeducation.typepad.com/.m/engineering_education_for/2009/03/attention-homeschoolers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
