Need recommendations

Hi,

I’ve been goofing casually for years with all sorts of 3D stuff but have mastered none:D I absolutely am blown away by zbrush and am still miles away from truly learning all the stuff I want to get the hang of.

I need some help, I want to animate some creations but I need something that will allow me to rig them and then commence animation. I know it’s not a real straight forward process and can have a steep learning curve. I have access to Newtek’s lightwave but I have no real help with how to’s and needless to say I do not find it’s interface user friendly (no experience with it). I’m wondering if anyone out there can recommend other software that is ‘easier’ to use for rigging and simple character animation. I’m a quick learner, IF the process is initially easy to grasp (blender is a complete nightmare to me as an example).

Any suggestions greatly appreciate. I have a ‘theoretical’ understanding of rigging and animation, just no practical (nor successful) experience so I looking for something simple (that can then be tweaked from there). Looking to animate a biped.

Thanks again!
