3D Studio MAX or MAYA

REY619 · 24-05-2007, 08:39 AM

Which one is better to learn 3D animation? Or is there any other similar Freeware Software?
Thanx.

Blender..... The best thing that has happened to Open-Source...

MAYA is more powerful ...

I use 3Ds Max 9 cos Maya's interface scares me

too many tabs & buttons.

However once I started working on Maya, I found it to be as powerful as 3ds max while beating 3ds max when it comes to particle simulation & animation.

You can try yourself, unless you try you cannot judge. Another good application would be modo. It is very good & light weight for modeling purpose though Modo's renderer sux in front of mental ray

Maya Anytime...

3D Max is good for beginners & Game Programming. Lot of Plugins like AE.

Maya is excellent and good for Film Production. Inbuild effects like Flame.

You can start learning Maya instead of 3D Max, If your aim is to be a Film Artist. But Maya has a deep learning curve than 3D Max. Good Luck!!!

Not Film artist, but Game development and programming. Which one is good for Gaming industry?

You can start with Blender[Freeware] and after learning the basics, switch to 3D Studio Max.

REY619 · 24-05-2007, 05:07 PM

^^OK downloading Blender!

kaustav_geek · 24-05-2007, 05:27 PM

Yeah.... But beware.... OSS is addictive

... Once you get a hang of Blender, you'll swear by it. Thats been the case with me and some of my friends.... The community is wild and willing to help.....
Happy Blending...

Download the tutorials and practice them.
Start with modelling, lighting and then come to animation.

They have designed a gingerbread in the tutorial. Practice that.
