Blue_Gazelle's Q&A
Q: What is Anim8or?A: Anim8or is a freeware 3D modeling program. http://www.anim8or.com/
Q: Looks pretty simple which is nice, but the models they show off on their site don't look so great. Can you only make simple models with it, or is there a lot more to the program than what they advertise?
A: You can do a lot more with it than what they show off on their site. See here for an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGvljwMj4RY
Q: Wow, but the animation doesn't look so great. Is it compatible with something that can animate smoother, like Blender?
A: Yes, you can import files from Anim8or into Blender. I'd recommend doing so when trying to animate something, as Blender is much better at that, as far as I can tell.
Q: So... why's it called Anim8or if isn't that great at animating?
A: No idea.

Any questions about Anim8or go in here. You can also suggest tips, etc. Everyone can help anyone learn, I'm not the only one that can blab, I'm sure.
So I finally downloaded this 3-D graphics program, which Blue Guy tells me is more user-friendly than Blender (and I can run the regular version on my computer). Here's my first effort, after about 10 minutes of work:
We shall see if I can make anything better than Mr. Stick Man, who looks just a tad bit out of proportion.
