VTC is the best in anything in my opinion. But they are bloody expensive.

Swift 3d. that is how I learned. When I wanted to start 3d I didn't have the slightest idea on how to create 3d but thanks to the easy to use 3d program I learned the basics and just a little more. They even offer free step by step tutorials. try the free version it's fully functional and doesn't expire, if you like it then you can buy it. the only thing the trial version keeps you from doing is exporting your work. Other than that it's fully functional.

Hello,

First let's cover the basics.

Definitions

*Virus: a software program capable of reproducing itself and usually capable of causing great harm to files or other programs on the same computer ...

*Spy-ware is computer software that is installed surreptitiously on a personal computer to intercept or take partial control over the users interaction with the computer, without the users informed consent.

*Junk Files: Over the course of time, your computer accumulates unwanted and unremoved junk files that are no longer necessary. These junk files remain unused by the operating system, but occupy much disk space.

The first step to optimizing your computer is removal of any virus, malware, spyware, and adware infecting your computer. You may notice pop-ups, error messages, difficulty navigating on the internet, a change in home page, a slowdown in computer functions, and other undesirable behaviours. You need programs designed to elimin ate these threats. Once the threats have been neutralized and eliminated you will be ready to take the next step in optimizing the performance of your computer. First let's look at what we are dealing with.

A computer virus is a malicious program that can do irreparable harm to your computer. An anti virus program is necessary to prevent, and or remove these. Ad-ware and spy-ware are also troublesome. They can create unwanted pop ups and also track the way you surf the web. Over time, if not addressed, they can significantly slow down the operation of your computer. An antivirus or anti-spyware program is necessary to remove these from your computer. Some companies offer what is called a 'suite' which encompasses all this into one program and usually has preventative protection as well. This makes it easy and uncomplicated for the regular user to combat and prevent these threats.

Junk Files are just that, junk. You accumulate junk files every time you surf t he web, install a program, or remove a program. Adding and removing programs also clutter up the registry with dead links ( entries pointing to a nonexistent location or to obsolete or damaged files. ). Fixing the registry requires a separate program. We will discuss this next time.

Over time the accumulation of junk can also significantly reduce the speed of your computer and in some cases if allowed to accumulate can cause errors. Junk files from the internet can be easily removed manually. In Windows based computers: go to the control panel, select internet options, and under browsing history select delete. Select temporary internet files. While you are there you may as well delete cookies and history as well. An easier way to remove junk files is with a program that does it for you. Programs will also remove junk left over from installation of programs and temp files that take up a lot of disk space and slowing your computer. Most programs called utilities have oth er functionality which I will go in to next time.

For now start with these basics and you will immediately see improved performance from your computer. My site contains programs that I personally use and or have tested to be safe and effective. Next time I will discuss disk maintenance ( Hard drive ), and the registry, both of which, when optimized, can significantly increase the speed of your computer.
