Ok Here’s my list:
Cinema 4d XL7- to make the backgrounds
Photoshop 7- to touch up the backgrounds from Cinema and to make simple graphics for my layout.
Flash MX - for you know what.
:edit: You don’t have to use what I use, any combination of programs will work. I just use those because those are the ones I’m use to. Experiment and see what works for you.
Hope that answers it =)

You can go to [adobe.com](http://adobe.com) and [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com) and download their software for free to try out. They’re only trial versions though, but they’ll give you an idea of how they work and if you like them then you can buy them. =)

ok here’s a list of other great programs, some ive used and some I havent, but I heard great things about them.
Adobe Illustrator - great for line art and logo design. Stuff from this program works well with flash since it’s vector based.
Macromedia Fireworks - I’ve never used this, but I heard its great, from what I’ve heard, its both a vector program and raster so its like getting a combination of Illustrator and photoshop all in one.
Macromedia Dreamweaver - If you’re not familiar with html then this program writes it for you, you basically drag and drop stuff to make page layouts.
It all depends on what you’re planning on doing, I don’t have all the programs and I try not to get new ones, its better to be efficient in 1-4 programs than try to learn all of them out there.

> hey electrongeek …

Well I have version XL7 and the only formats I’m aware of is:
for static theres - tiff, jpg, bmp, pict, iff, targa, rla, rpf
for multimedia theres - avi and quicktime VR
You can even save stuff as psd too so you can open it up in photoshop.
I think the new version of Cinema will be capable of saving it out as swf for flash, not sure tough.

Cinema 4d is basically the same as 3d studio max, both are used for 3d animation and the likes. I’ve never used 3d studio max so I wouldnt know about any differences, but 3d studio max is more popular than cinema 4d.
