Autodesk Animator is a 2D animation program limited to 320 X 200 256 color mode. It animated to
a flick file and then replayed it in real time. Animator Pro extends the resolution to 640 X 480
26 color and beyond with more features. 

3D Studio is a 3D system that allows you to generate 3d geometry, set up lights and cameras,
define the materials and render to either flick files or frame by frame to an animation recorder.

Animator was ~$350, (It may still be available in their multimedia workshop product) Animator
Pro is ~$750 and 3DS lists for $2995
