You can do this effect with just plain after effects by adobe if you wanted. Flash would work too. I just chose Maya since I know it better.

Hey, thanks for the info. A few months back I asked a friend who animates for a video game company what he would recommend and he told me Blender too. Thanks again!

The singing jacks are great, though maybe they would be more effective in a darker lighting scheme?

Try “Blender” it’s a free open source 3D software.

First of all, your work on this effect is awesome. I try to come up with at least one really different/new display every year to add to my already crazy large collection of Halloween decor and I’ve found my next project! My question is whether you purchased the full-blown Autodesk Maya ($5K ?) or if there is a “lesser” version (I read somewhere that there is a $300 version?). Or would 30 days even be enough time to learn and create something like this using the free trial? If you get a sec. Thx.

Skull sounds off key, but a great effect!
