cinema 4d- the 3d software u must try

http://www.maxon.net/
if any one want use 3d to make the project but think its to hand to learn, i think its time to tay the software call CINeMA 4D.

i learned MAYA and 3DMAX in my BA. i want to say is this kind of software is not for normal people, its for professional people. but cinema 4d is more easy to use. i think the interface is the most friendly in 3d area.
I use cinema 4d for my project. and i use the plus-in to ripping the animation. the plus-in call CD Character Bundle Pro 1.5. unfortunately the ripping animation is very hard to learn.... but what i want to say is the cinema 4d got lots of plus-in support.

whatever if u want tay 3d element, just to try cinema 4d. and if you got any problems you can go to some forums like
C4DPortal
CGTalk

C4D Café
3DAttack
Renderosity
Creative COW
Postforum
DMN Forum

or just ask me if u like. hope u like it :)
1. Bear is powerful and strong animal, but people use hi-tech to kill or catch them. And bear haven't and change to fight with the hunter. They not like some small animal, they small and weak, in this world big fish eat small fish is quite normal. But bear is different. So I think bear is very unfair.

2. Bear looks friendly, and can walk like a man. so its good for animation.

3. Bear is very unlucky. every part in them body that can be used by human. In some part of china, some shit gay eat bear's limbs, and people take the bile for medicine.

Every year $600,000 is spent on procuring hundreds of black bears for their fur, and then used as hats. How appalling a practice?

Because this reasons I decide use bear to design my animation character.

in this character, the bear's body is very big. its because there got lots of energy. and the body look like a heart. this all metaphor the animal is the life of the world. we should shell the world not just enjoy the world.



Level 1. Peripheral Interactivity

Level 2. Interactivity affecting narrative discourse and the presentation of the story

Level 3. Interactivity creating variations in a partly pre-defined story

Figure 4. Pre-determined narrative arc

Figure 5. Predetermined narrative with multiple endings 

Level 4. Real time story generation
On level 4, stories are not pre-determined, but rather, generated on the fly out of data that comes in part from the system, and in part from the user. Every run of the program should result in a different story, and the program should therefore be replayable. But to this day, we do not really have a story-generating system sufficiently sophisticated to produce a wide variety of interesting stories out of data internal to the system. Integrating the user’s input in the generating process only raises the difficulty to a higher power.

In my own project I may not to make a story like the level 4 interactive. But I will to attempt to make my project in level 3. And I will keep my story simple and usability convenient.
