Postby Jamsta on 07/23/2009, 12:01 am

I thought it would make a good discussion seeing what TOP 5 software you can't live without for VFX/Design/Animation etc.?

You must only choose your TOP 5, no more, no less!

My TOP 5
-----------
1. CorelDraw
2. PhotoShop
3. After Effects
4. 3dsMAX
5. ToonBoom Animate

...and yours?


Code: Select all
My TOP 5
-----------
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

PS: it's actually quite hard, because I've had to drop so many tools that I use...

here are mine

1: After Effects
2: Cinema 4d (w/ at least Vue, dpit, destruction plugins)
3: Realflow
4: Zbrush
5: Photoshop

although its extremely difficult to give a top 5, top 10 or 8 would be much much better.
