3D Programs

We have been considering a few programs for our second assignment to create the 3D artifact.

The following programs could be used to create this,

- Maya;
- Sketchup;
- Blender.

Maya is one of the best 3D programs out there the downside to it is that it is not free and some people in our group do not have any experience with this program so it could take quite long for them to learn this. Maya is not one of the easiest programs to learn.

Sketchup has a great advantage cause it is a free program that has been taken over by Google a few months ago. It is very easy to use and to learn for everyone. You do not need any experience to start with this program. The downfall is that the program does not have any advanced 3D functionalities.

Blender seems to be the one to go for. Also this program is free to use and download. It is more difficult then Sketchup but much easier to learn then Maya and it does allow for more advanced 3D options.
