Publisher's Description
From Anim8or:
Anim8or is a 3D computer animation program that is designed to allow straightforward creation of animations. You interactively create and edit objects, figures, and scenes directly on the computer's screen. The basic interface is similar to most 3D animation and CAD programs. You control various aspects of your work using an ordinary computer mouse or tablet. You select and drag, rotate, scale and place objects by clicking in the various views of your work. There are two toolbars that you can use for common tasks. The one at the top of the has buttons for general commands that are used throughout Anim8or, while the one on the left allows you to change your mode of operation for common tasks in the current that you are using. The usual menu is there for less frequently used tasks.

""Just right!""
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
Anim8or is easy, simple, and capable of good rendering with time.
Cons
Not quite as powerful as such programs like Blender, and is sometimes slow. On Vista, Anim8or occasionally crashed but its auto-save feature helps.

I'll be back to say how great i think it is

"Would give it 10 stars if I could!!"
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
1. Very robust app perfect for beginners to 3D modeling
2. Very lightweight (not bloated and doesn't slow computer down to a crawl)
3. Easy learning curve
4. User friendlyCons
GUI could be streamlined a little bit to make workflow easier
Summary
If you're an absolute newbie to 3D modeling and looking for an easy, yet highly functional program to use, I can't recommend Anim8or enough. It's the perfect app to cut your tooth on and learn all the ins and outs of modeling without being overwhelmed with a gajillion menu items, palettes and cryptic functions that take forever to learn. No, it doesn't offer a lot of the snazzy stuff that you'd get in a high end program, but it's so robust that you can get a lot of mileage out of this program for your pet projects without the need for one. So... two thumbs up from me!

"Great"
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
by far the best 3d modeling program I have used, quite good interface, easy to switch between views and also has a good wireframe view mode.
Lots of great tutorials on the anim8or site.
4/5 allthough its by far the best Ive used it could still be improved.
Brilliant for beginners (as long as you use a tutorial or two from the site.)
Cons
Takes time to get use to, im still not very good at it, and is frustrating at times.

"This program is great!"
Version: Anim8or 0.9
Pros
This 3d modeling program is awesome! It is simple to start out with and i think it comes with a .pdf instruction file that helps greatly! the program starts up fast, renders quickly, and has a quick learning curve.
Cons
none other than my computer is slow and sometimes when i switch from object/figure/sequence mode to the scene mode the program crashes... but as i said it may just be my computer... but to make sure and be safe, save often!
