Daz Studio is one such free 3D program that has a huge pool of tools and functionalities. The software is free for all, but some of the utilities are paid. The marketplace is full of content which you can use free of cost. With Daz Studio, 3D modeling, animating, and rendering becomes a lot easier. For software which is so rich in capabilities, it has a reasonably easy UI. Whatever you create with this easy 3D modeling software is owned only by you, royalty free! It is a highly robust program which requires only 1 GB of RAM to run. However, a RAM of more than 2 GB is recommended for optimum performance.

With you are more inclined toward 3D motion graphics, Cinema 4D is the software for you. It has a huge price attached to it though, so make sure your requirements match the capabilities this 3D modeling software offers. They do offer a free trial of around 40 days that will help you in making this decision. Once you start using the Cinema 4D, you will find that the learning curve attached to it is pretty undemanding and simplistic. It requires 4GB of RAM and a graphics card for smooth running and is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows operating systems.
The software found its niche within the motion graphics industry as it offers a robust MoGraph module among many high-level features. Of all its competitors, Cinema 4D is the easiest to learn as it features an intuitive interface and a logical workflow.
Particles can be used to create realistic atmospheric effects like fire, rain or smoke, or fantastic swirling glowing bits for use in motion graphics and broadcast design. You can create particle systems from any type of image. To create particles, you need to add both a particle emitter and a particle renderer to your node tree. Click the particle emitter and open the inspector to customize and start animating your particles. There are more than a dozen particle specific nodes that can be inserted between the emitter and renderer to simulate gravity, friction, turbulence, bounce and more. Best of all, particles work in 3D so you can make them flow around and bounce off other elements in the scene!
You can import 3D models or even entire 3D scenes from apps such as Maya and 3D Studio Max directly into your shots on the Fusion page. Using the FBX import menu, Fusion gives you the option to import FBX (Filmbox) scenes or Alembic animated geometry files, dramatically increasing your creative options for visual effects and motion graphics. For example, you can import a 3D model of a mobile phone and replace its screen, add a new car into a commercial spot, create a swarm of attacking spaceships, or add a dragon fighting live action knights in front of a castle! Then add textures, shading and lights, composite your actors into the shot and create photorealistic Hollywood style effects!
Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games. Blender's features include 3D modelling, UV mapping, texturing, digital drawing, raster graphics editing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation, sculpting, animation, match moving, rendering, motion graphics, video editing, and compositing.

For medical animation, you should look for several things in a software package. It should have a good system for keyframing animation and editing keyframes, and making the motion appear organic (for example random motion of proteins inside a cell). Medical animation involves a lot of objects traveling along paths, dynamics/physics (you dont want to animate blood cells in a capillary by hand), constraints for having objects attach and detach, character animation tools for any animations involving humans or animals, and repetitive cyclical motions that an animation scripting language will help. Blendshapes or morph targets are useful for animating between forms of an object, for example a growing embryo or facial expressions of a patient.
Programs like Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere among others allow you to both non-linearly edit your animation timeline as well as composite various graphics together using alpha channels to form a multi layer final piece, similar to Photoshop but in motion. This is essential for introducing elements into your final piece from different sources, where the backgrounds are removed. When you watch a 3d animation of a medical device in action, its likely to contain various layers, for the device itself, background, live footage, etc.

I find that After Effects is more flexible with effects and transformations and its better suited for shorter pieces including visual effects and motion graphics. Premiere was originally created for video footage and is better suited for longer pieces.
Dr. J has worked in biology all his life and holds several advanced degrees and certificates in biology, anatomy, scientific illustration, 3d animation and motion graphics. He has always had an interest in teaching others the wonders of biology using the latest advances in graphics, including visualization, digital microscopy, animation, illustration, VR and interactive media.
From 3D visualizations and rendering for AD campaigns to broadcast motion graphics, VFX, augmented, mixed and virtual reality, product visualization and TV and movie productions, Cinema 4D can cover them all.
Broadcast motion graphics is probably the most popular segment of the creative industry that benefits from the potential of Cinema 4D's toolkit. From advertising to commercials, product presentations, social media content and much more, Cinema 4D offers the right tools to achieve it. Especially when it comes to loop motions or patterns or random effects C4D deformers, and modifiers such as cloners and effectors are the answers to your creative needs.
For example, the motion graphics ad that Frame created for B&B Italia to capture the beauty and elegance of the Up Chair was created by introducing some playfulness into the concept inspired by the icon shapes of the chair where the high quality of the materials comes to life in a semi-abstract animation of how the chair could have potentially come to life in an abstract world.
Even if the developers focused mostly on motion graphics, visualizations and design studios, Cinema 4D is being used to create special effects in big-budget movie productions taking advantage of its amazing mograph tools to create sci-fi and futuristic effects. 2ff7e9595c
