Five Inexpensive Animation Solutions for the Mac

While it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a major software package, it’s still got enough of the basics to let you learn how to model from scratch and animate in 3D – and it supports file formats from many of the major 3D packages, allowing you to import working files from other programs.
