Help/Support: 
Pros: lighting effects, rendering options, color/brightness/contrast adjustments
Cons: few animations, few objects, no importing, no advanced customizing, multiple objects at once not supported
Whereas Effect3D Studio does offer a bare minimum of objects for me to rate it as satisfactory, it simply lacks the more advanced effects, animations and customizability that one would expect from...

Effect3D Studio Very good

Ease of Use:

Help/Support: 
Pros: Simple Install, Start-Up Tips a nice touch, Full screen preview is good, Rendering worth it on Highest level, Fun to play with.
Cons: Confusing for Beginners, Useless for Advanced users, Crashes after limited use, Has problems rendering many fonts - slow and untidy.
Effect3D Studio is akin to a flashier but ultimately more useless version of Windows Microsoft Office Clip Art. While initially drawn to the idea that I - as a non-3D graphics animator - could create...

Pros: 3-Dimensional Figures are plausible to create and model an environment with. The materials are sufficient and provide the designer with a sense of perspective and lighting.
Cons: You cannot technically model anything yourself; you must only utilize predefined objects and materials. In addition, a lack of area lights and caustic particles limits the artists imagination and innovation.
I would like to start off saying this program is not for "designers of all levels" and it does NOT allow you to create professionals 3D animated graphics; given the user has any perception of what...

Cons: Not enough advanced features. $85 pricetag WAY too steep. $19-$29 would be much more appropriate.
After reviewing Effect3D Studio several things were obvious right from the start. From a professional point of view, there are many features...
