Andy_Rch:
Thanks to all of you.

@ $imon
No, I donīt used any other programs in the meantime.
Some years ago I tried blender, but I donīt like the gui and the way you have to work with this program. I had the feeling that this program offers too much and I think I need years to handle all the stuff.
anim8or, on the other side, has only the thinks I really need, and so I have the feeling to be very quick in finishing my works.

But I still looking for an alternative program, which is as easy as anim8or, but has some more extras like fur, hair, KI and cloth. I also would pay up to 300€ - 400€ for such a program.

So, if anyone knows of such a program, please tell me. But I think I am not the only one who is looking for such a software ^^

$imon:
i was merely asking if you used any other programs, since you havent seem to lost your touch after a year of not working with it ;)

I don't know of such a program, your best bet would really be blender.. however hard it is to use.
Maybe you can buy an older version of 3ds max or maya off of someone second-hand.

ENSONIQ5:
Carrara would definitely suit you Andy-Rch, and older versions of it are available for free at animanon.com.  If you PM Kreator he will be able to tell you what's required to get it.  Aside from the items you mentioned, Carrara also has a physics engine, animateable materials, motion blur, lens effects, super-quick renderer, network rendering, etc.  It is relatively easy to learn, and its only real drawback is a clunky internal modelling engine and incomprehensible UV coordinate editor, but most Carrara users model in something else (like Anim8or) and import the models as .obj or whatever.

By the way, I love your image.  The character is excellent, the modelling is crisp and tidy, the scene composition tells the story nicely.

Indian8or:
Nice render andy-rich.

My suggestion will be some older version of 3ds max.  You can get it second hand.

It is an incredible software and comes packaged with mental ray.

Most impressive thing about 3ds max is the availability of huge resources and toturials on the net.  The tutorials that come with the package or available on its official web site for free download are enough to learn the program fairly quickly.

I was stunned to see how quickly it rendered a sphere of fur.

Jdez:
Or you could use Anim8or for your modelling and do your extra's in blender since it does have physics and hair simulations available. Maybe you could try to see if blender has an import script for .an8 files.
