Creating your own 3D animations usually takes lots of skill and pricey software. Antics Technologies takes another approach with its free point-and-click 3D animation software, Antics. While the company sells more elaborate versions of the software, Antics' realtime system is capable and gaining in popularity as a simple-to-use previz system — as well as for turning out finished content. The new free V3 BasePack — the entry-level option to Antics' product line — features increased functionality, improves users' ability to import 3D content, and offers enhanced ease of use, according to the company.
