Yeah, the topic explains my question, and by movie- making, I mean animating frame by frame, not exploring the model. And I don't want google sketchup. I can use that already, and that's not what I mean by movie making anyway ( it's a prime example of what I don't mean actually)
anyway, thanks in advance.
EDIT: if it has programming support, all the better, but it mustn't rely on programming.

SketchUp is a good piece of software for beginners

I'd recommend starting there

sorry, already got it. Good isn't it? I particularly like the follow me tool and how it can be used to create spheres.

Blender looks good, and I know a bit of python. I'll go with that until someone comes up with anything better.

Unity 3D is a game making program, but you can make movies in it too. They recently released a new version with vastly updated and excellent animation features, using motion capture data. And it's free!

Ill have a look at that too. Thanks. I wasn't really interested in game- making, but I know someone who would be. I need some 3d software mainly to help me write a book, don't ask how,I just sort of do.

Looks good. I have a hard choice. smile

Blender, definitely. It's a modeling tool, animation suite, rendering tool and scriptable game engine all in one.

Blender has all of the capabilities of commercial 3D software such as 3Ds Studio Max and Maya, with the additional game engine. It's also free and open-source, meaning that you can freely browse the code and modify it. The only problem is, it's very "down to the metal".

I've got blender. Unfortonately, my laptop touchpad doesn't have a mouse wheel, which makes stuff harder. It also closes itself when I try to fill it or give it a texture. I'm running the latest zip archive 32 bit windows one and my laptop is about 3 million.
