In my experience, planetrenders.net and gamerenders.net are the best for renders.

I may upload my pack of like. . . 300? C4D's if you want.

Wow, this will be useful. Maybe people who've used certain programs can add little comments as to what it does and stuff like that, since there are so many.

Great, Autodesk bought Maya? Autodesk company sucks a lot. Their 3DCG software seems riddled with bugs and fatal errors. Blender on the other hand I've heard was made by people who actually use it (they have a bizarre interface though).

just out of curiosity, are there any illustrator tutorials out there i could use?

For anyone interested in doing animated GIFs in a basic set-up (set number of frames, basically copy+paste in images or use the simple "Paint" like tools.

The actual download for Jasc Animation Shop v3.11 is here.

Where i found the link is here.

No reg key is required and I have tested it to be working in the past. The version apparently isnt supported by Jasc (now Corel) anymore, but its still a good program, at least way easier than most other GIF animators.
