Easy 3d programs?
I have tried quite alot of 3D animation programs such as Blender, Cyber Motion 3d-designer and Wings... But i find these programs quite hard to understand also after i have looked at the tutorials.
So i will ask i you know some easy 3D animations programs? 3D programs for newbees?
It dosn´t have to be free. I will pay if I have to.

yes u can export avi. its easier to creat mountaines or water rather then model objects
but theres buttons to creat quickly primitive objects like cube or sphere

Never send a human to do a machine's job.
Are you really looking for animation or just a 3D modeling program?
If you're looking for a modeling program, maybe you should look at Zbrush. There's a short learning curve and it's very intuitive. You start with a sphere and push and pull the shape to whatever you want. You don't have to think about vertices and 4 sided polygons and loopcuts. You can export object format models. You can assign materials and textures like other programs, and there is a 2.5D sort of canvas that you can stick your 3D creations on and paint with cool 3D brushes like fiber brush and snakehook brush.
I tried an older version a few years ago, and the new version looks to be a whole lot better yet. I think you can still download a free demo with limited export and save functions.

i would agree with zbrush, but i also think you should take the time to understand how basic 3d works, you say youve tried all those programs, they are all quite similar. So im going to take a guess that you need to nut out the fundamentals of 3d modelling, then everything will fall into place.
Also zbrush costs abit (its well worth it tho)

If you are having trouble wrapping your mind around vertices, patches, co-ordinate systems and all that stuff, take a look at Amorphium Pro:

It's a more intuitive, "clay modelling" metaphor for constructing 3D (mostly organic) forms. I think there's a trial download on their site.

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

http://www.curvy3d.com <- this is cheap and new, seems very intutive, im just trying it out now.
