The most recommended is Blender 2.0, but, there are many other sources, I usually use Paint.net.

As of right now, I currently use Cinema 4D to render and Photoshop to edit!

I’m not referring to GFX, I was referring to Group Logs, which has some that are not GFX, but, I could be able to do a basic GFX with Paint.net like this example:

When I get on to the website, I see this

The most recommended is Blender 2.82, but, here are many other sources, I usually use Paint.net.

Paint.net is an app that needs to be installed, I don’t know why it is a website. ://

Whenever you see paint.net, it looks like a link but it’s not. This link is not the correct link to download this program. You can download the official program here.

One Problem its shows me this

@Officer8771

I use Blender 2.79b (the older version) just because it’s easier for me and most tutorials I use (when needed) on YouTube use this version.

On the link I just sent in my previous post, scroll down to where a table with this heading is shown:

Download
If you would like to install Paint.NET (not the link), please use one of the buttons below.

In the table there should be a paid version and a free version by dot pdn. Click on the free version and it should take you to the correct page.

Which one the Start button?

I use Cinema 4D and paint.net to edit.

Creating a “Gfx” in blender only wouldn’t really be effects, I mean you could add effects mid way in compositing and so on however, you’d of course use external programs like Paint(dot)net to add effects onto it, making it a GFX. (GFX is Graphic Effects, Not Just Render)

Anyways, I usually use Blender 2.82 (though 2.83 is out now but its causing me some issues + 2.9 is coming out soon with more features), and paint(dot)net for external effects/photo manipulation and so on.

I’d say it works out pretty good:

So there are 2 main software you use to make GFX’s. Cinema 4D and Blender. If you have a Nvidia Graphics card. I would recommend using Cinema 4D with Octane. Its an amazing plugin. If you don’t have a Nvidia Graphics card I would recommend using Blender as their in-built Render engines [Cycles and Eevee] are also very good. Try watching Fundamental and HotKey videos for each software. They are many out there on YouTube. Good luck! :slightly_smiling_face:
