• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi there, I've been doing computer animation for about 10 years and I started with some software called Raydream 3D which is now called Carrara Studio, very well featured software for the price, good for beginners. If you want to really jump in at the deep end I would recommend Autodesk's Maya. What area of CGI do you want to learn in particular?

A lower-cost alternative is Maxon's Cinema 4D, a very capable and stable app. I use it a lot. Check out www.maxon.net. There's a demo version there.
