What program does everybody use to make their 3D Graphics? I've been trying to do pixel art for over 3 years and I haven't even improved, so I've given up. So I thought I'd try my hand at 3D.

I always use 3D Studio Max. It's a little pricy, but it's the easiest to learn, and it's one of the more powerful packages out there (Maya is a little more flexible, but harder to use IMO). You're still going to need to know how to do pixil art though, since 3D models are nothing but flat sheets of color without nice texturing.

I think the pixel art in your avatar looks quite good.

Simple graphics like that take me forever though. Also, I can't do much in the ways of humans or anything, my graphic abilities are very basic.

I personally use Cinema4D XL 7.2.

It's pretty pricey too (though not as expensive as 3DSMax), but it has a nice rendering engine, and it ain't too hard to use either. I love C4D's animation system!

I think doing pixel art for 3 years would of advanced you a fair bit. Your new game "Oscar" has nice graphics.

I've heard that Maya is good, and 3D Studios Max.

I'm not talking about making 3D games, just graphics.
