Don't waste your time on bad animation software...

For new animators, what software to use for 3d animation is a pressing question. So what software do animators use? Well, it depends what kind of animator you are.

If you want to know how to do animation as a hobby then Blender is fantastic software that you can download for free.

If you want to get a job in animation, or you want to know how to join the animation industry, then you should probably learn Autodesk Maya. If you're in high school, college, or university, you can get a free copy of Maya and start learning.

If you want specific help Blender or Maya, go search my other videos! I have a great 50-minute beginner's Blender-tutorial-made-easy for you. #Shorts
