What softwares are used for making movies?

Maya for 3D

Combustion for Compositing

After Effects is also compositing

Autodesk Lustre for cleaning up the footage

Final Cut is decent for Finishing but I suggest findin something better.

Here's my web site that I created specifically for 3DS Max

it's http://3dsmaxonline.com/

3DS Max is good but way better for video games and short animation.

there are many softwares used for amking animation

if you want to make simple animations you can always use " macromedia flash " and if u r wonderin g why the naimations u make look nothing like the ones in movies they have a really specialized program which costs thousands of dollars so... yeah

good luck
