I want to make graphics for Points collected in Platform games. I am not an artist. I want to create "3d looking" stars, diamonds, Gems, Hearts, ice-scream cups, alphabets.... etc. Also I want to make a simple animation on them like Lights shining or the objects swaying (without moving from its center) or objects spinning.. Most of these can be done with Xara 3d (about 45$s).But one needs to take screenshots and then cut it to desired shape, before making a strip. Is there any program which has the same features as Xara3d, but export animation frames as images as a strip or sequence of bitmaps? How you guys do that? Thanks.
