AC3D - Does anyone here use this ? What do you use it for ? etc.

Also, are there many blender users here ?

I use blender but not for the award since it's not made by Autodesk.

I used Blender for my Intro to Virtual Reality course a couple years ago.

Until recently I had not been aware of AC3D. I now know of a couple of people using it and for reasons too long to get into here I was wanting to know if it was really used for anything and for what.

What is AC3D? I've never heard of it before.

Precisely !!

The discussion was driven by schools trying to get into animation and I know of a school that considered using it. If you dig around on the internet there doesn't seem to be a lot of usage that I can tell. A side discussion is how schools develop curriculum and pick software to support the curriculum.

Personally I think the hands down best thing for a school to use is Maya. If they don't have any money a runner up would be the most current version of Blender. At a glance, the current version seems to be WAY better than a few versions back.
