I now use Mine-imator to do my minecraft renders but I need an upgrade.
Can anyone help me?
Things I looked at:
C4D: 1000$ program? WTF NO.
Maya: 100$ Each month? ^^^ +1
Blender: Steeeeeeeeep lurning curve. All videos on minecraft rendering are outdated.
Mine-imator (Currently using): Way too limited.
Thanks.

P.S. Is pirating C4D and stuff like that safe?

Most of those applications have steep learning curves if you want to get the most out of them. Blender's learning curve just goes off in a different direction. It does have a pretty vibrant community of both hobbyists and professionals so there are plenty of places to get help (and better help than you'd get here).

If you're a student you can look into educational licences for Autodesk software (Maya, AutoCAD, 3DS Max etc.) too. I'm not sure if C4D has anything similar. Pirating is not an option I'm going to recommend for obvious reasons.

Well, I'm homeschooled, would that work?
