easy 3D animation programs

[Virgil]

Blender is famous for its user interface which 99% of all people (including me) find HORRIBLE and 1% actually appear to LOVE. I find Cinema4D to be the easiest 3d tool, followed by 3ds max, never used Maya but I assume it's similar. Blender I just never got used to.

I disagree. I'm don't feel either way for Blender's interface. Instead of Maya/Max where a lot of the tools are menu buttons, Blender has all of its tools within keystrokes. I use the button menu far less when modeling. A month ago I would have agreed with you though.

Ehm, both 3DS Max and Cinema4D have very good and customizable hotkey setups!

Blender has a very shitty interface,but if you manage to cope with it, then the transition to another program is easy.
