What is the best system for CG/animation?
Flammable topic! Don’t ask. If you must ask, be more specific… what type of CG/animation work do you want to do, what quality, will you be doing work with any other H/W and/or specific S/W package, and how much are you willing to spend in both time and money. Even so, every system has strengths, weaknesses, and advocates. Don’t expect a concensus. Your best bet is to try out as many different ones as you can firsthand, and make your own decision.
