Software Combinations for Visual Effects VFX and 3D Animation of Consumer Products


#1

Hi Guys and Gals,

I currently create 3D product renders of consumer products for example a still render of a coke can.

I want to start doing product animations with visual effects for example a coke can spinning with liquid splashing around it or a mens shower gel with condensation and steam from a shower.

Before I spend millions of hours on the wrong path can someone please give some direction of which way to go as far as software goes and which combinations I should pair up to get decent results.

From a day’s worth of research it seems Cinema4d, Realflow and After Effects might be a good combo.

Any better ideas that the above?
