When you say commercial, do you mean as in advertisements, or do you mean professional?

If you mean Advertisements, you should really check out Cinema 4D. It's got some crazy cool features to do MoGraphing. At work, the two main tools that are used are Cinema and After Effects, so, I would think that that's a good place to start, at least.

If you're talking about what I cal "proper" 3D (don't mean it in a condesending way though) give --this-- a read, I think it coveres most of the basic questions. And also, there are many invaluable tutorials over --here-- .


But, to be blunt, your question is a bit open ended, like "how long is a piece of string".
