Bryce 3D landscape and animation software for free
Yes you read that right. Free. DAZ Productions is giving away Bryce 5 for free. (The newest version, Bryce 5.5, still goes for around $100.)Eagle117 tipped us off to this amazing offer from DAZ Productions, and its no hoax. Simply visit the DAZ Bryce special offers page, and visit the corresponding link to securely download the application on Download.com in either Mac or PC format. After downloading, click on the installer. When the installation prompts you to register you will be forwarded to the DAZ site, where you must set up a user profile first. When this is complete, you are given a serial number for your version of Bryce. Very simple! I was completely finished the whole process from downloading to using it in under 10 minutes! Faster if I didn't get up to get a bottle of water.
Bryce is a pretty powerful 3D landscaping and animation tool, available for both Mac and PC platforms. Traditionally the software is used for multimedia, video and web work. You can really create some amazing pieces of artwork through this application. It just might take a while to play through the many features that Bryce offers the designer.

While we're at it, why not check out Blender, a free (both as in freedom and as in beer) full 3D modelling and animation package? An example of what can be done with it is at http://orange.blender.org

Blender is definitely more powerful than Bryce, but intended for a totally different audience. Even granny can get the hang of Bryce in a couple of hours. I've tried using Blender for years, only to go back to a more "standard" interface in 3ds max, Lightwave, or Maya... Blender is still awesome, but Bryce is more accesible.

Blender is impossible, which is the easiest free animation/ modelling program available (for Noobs)
