3D character animation is growing in leaps and bounds. 3D characters are used in every many facets, including games, videos, design industry, and business presentations. The charters create an eye-captivating picture when using video production for promoting your product or company. There are many modeling programs that will assist you in creating the best 3D characters and make your creation stand out from the crowd. The top three software programs will be outlined in this article.

1. ZBrush

ZBrush is a digital program for sculpting and painting with standout features and for amazing animations. It offers the world’s most advanced tools for today’s digital artists, hands down. The amount of features that have been developed with ease of use in mind is endless. This program has but is not limited to Geometry, LightCap, and Curve Mode. This is the reason why ZBrush is part of everyone’s tool belt, from art enthusiast to major film and games studios. The user experience feels natural while assisting in bringing out your inner creativity. The ability of ZBrush is only limited by your imagination, because there is no lack of tools in this program.

2. Mudbox

Mudbox is a 3D sculpting and digital painting software. This program claims Mudbox gives users the freedom to create production-ready, 3D digital artwork by avoiding the technical details. The tool-set is full of stencils and brushes for very realistic 3D productions. The 3D sculpting tool-set is accurate while allowing the designer to create smooth designs fast. You can see the results immediately when painting directly onto a 3D model. Users can view render quality results directly in the view-port, making the displays interactive. Design concepts are easy to experiment with because designs are made in layers allowing for easy revisions.

3. Modo

Modo is an all in one package program. It has the ability to model, sculpt, and paint, animation and render. The features used within each task such as n-gons or 3D painting and edge weighting enhance these abilities. Modo differs from other 3D programs, because they use a lesser number of basic tools, but they do combine them to create new tools, using Tool Pipe. The artist can choose a pivot point by just clicking somewhere. The tools can be modified with customizable falloffs; this will modify the strength of the geometric shapes that make the images. The best part about Modo is that is has a progressive preview renderer.

These are only some of the 3D character animation software your can use to make your ideas come to life. There is also Maya, 3ds Max, Blender and Light Wave but these are not up to par with the program applications above.
