What 3D software are you using?

adam · Apr 2010

Time to gauge you lot and see who's using what! Check off all those that apply when you're creating 3D game art.

metalliandy · Apr 2010

Blender, ZBrush, Silo and Milkshape (awesome exporter) here! ^^

PolyHertz · Apr 2010

Arnt Softimage and XSI the same thing (xsi was rebranded as Softimage when Autodesk bought them out)...

System · Apr 2010

Added to poll. Had a feeling this was going to be predictable before clicking to see the results, wasn't wrong!

adam · Apr 2010

Ben Apuna · Apr 2010

Currently Modo and Mudbox. I'm also starting to dabble with Blender.

Hmm... maybe I should've clicked "Other" as well for xNormal and Crazy Bump?

t4paN · Apr 2010

Ok maybe not the best place to ask, but after finishing with a contract gig I was using max there. Now i'm thinkign of going freelance and it's time to buy some probs but max is a bit expensive, so I was thinking of moving to Modo... Yay or nay?

GoSsS · Apr 2010

3ds max and Zbrush here !
I really want to try XSI but i don't have the time

Though I used maya on a previous game i was working on, but I never work with it at home

(just becasue we had a "inhouse" UI and i can't find all I need with the basic UI (there's just too many stuff

)).

Hmm... maybe I should've clicked "Other" as well for xNormal and Crazy Bump?

I don't think you had to. Because you can't create 3d meshes in these 2 apps.

Modo is great for modeling/UVing stuff. The "problem" occurs when you need to submit your files to your client and they really want Max or Maya files.

EDIT:

If you can get away with submitting LXO, or OBJ, then you should be fine. FBX, and Collada are also available but seem to have some problems from time to time.

Disco Stu · Apr 2010

Come on! Cinema 4d not even listed? I refuse to pick other!

yiannisk · Apr 2010

3dsmax+mudbox.

MoP · Apr 2010

Maya, ZBrush and Max here, in order of frequency.

ScoobyDoofus · Apr 2010

In order: Silo, Zbrush, Max, 3D Coat, Mudbox, and Blender. (Plus Xnormal and Crazybump of course)

Eric Chadwick · Apr 2010

Good idea Adam.

2003 for shits 'n giggles (wut's zbrush?).

Steve Schulze · Apr 2010

I'm a little surprised by how far Max is ahead of Maya. I thought that gap had closed a bit in recent years.

Junkie_XL · Apr 2010

max & zbrush, like most sane people. :poly124:

Lamont · Apr 2010

Maya 2009, ZBrush and Lightwave 9.X.

I thought u were frequent max user...hm...

SHEPEIRO · Apr 2010

max maya and zbrush in oder of frequence, but i wish max and maya were the other way round

Malus · Apr 2010

Maya and Zbrush for me with a little Max just to keep up the muscle memory.

What, no 3D coat love?

3DLee · Apr 2010

+1 for C4D, that and Sketchup are the main apps I use at work for archviz. I use Max for anything game related though, with a touch of Modo here and there.

piippo · Apr 2010

modo mainly, but I'm going around in Maya to get better grips with it.

r_fletch_r · Apr 2010

Max,Silo,UvLayout,mudbox

StJoris · Apr 2010

Hardly doing game art these days but if I do I use max. For archi stuff uni is stuffing maya down our throats, for that I prefer Rhinoceros, which is not listed.

low odor · Apr 2010

max, Zbrush.....learning Modo..and I must say Modo is the bees knees

Artifice · Apr 2010

Max, ZBrush/Mudbox, learning Modo and loving it.

I'm guessing this is for primary content creation. Didn't bother hitting 'other' for the Xnormal/Photoshop/Crazybump etc that's in the pipeline.

kat · Apr 2010

Blender.

Mommy says baby jesuz cries if I steal

MikeF · Apr 2010

maya and mudbox. I'm suprised no one else uses these two together

Adam Curtis · Apr 2010

Softimage + Mudbox. Occasionaly a bit of zbrush

Blaizer · Apr 2010

Modo + Zbrush & Max for little things like rigging.

MoP · Apr 2010

I used to use Max mostly, but our studio switched over to 100% Maya pipeline a couple of years ago, so the vast majority of my time is spent in Maya now.

I still use Max at home, though, and I have a license of Max at work as well just in case

I like to keep my hand in on the latest versions of both apps, to try and be familiar with all the possibilities and workflows.

TheMadArtist · Apr 2010

Max and Zbrush at work for me, although we do have a license of Maya floating around that I thought about taking over just to stay abreast with it.

InProgress · Apr 2010

Maya and Zbrush for me.

mathes · Apr 2010

Maya and Zbrush

EmAr · Apr 2010

Silo and ZBrush here. Can't afford much

I second this one bro ! Also trying to get into new Blender...

Frump · Apr 2010

Maya, Zbrush, Max, Topogun, in order of frequency of use. I usually only jump into Max to use some of its tools or scripts which I don't have in Maya.:)

James Edwards · Apr 2010

Max at work for pipeline. Blender at home for pipeline. Silo for modeling. Zbrush and 3dcoat for sculpting/painting. UVLayout.

DrunkShaman · Apr 2010

3d Studio max, zbrush and Softimage XSI mod tool (not the proper product).

oglu · Apr 2010

maya+mudbox

JacqueChoi · Apr 2010

Max Maya and Zbrush.

I prefer modelling in Max, but unwrapping I prefer in Maya

I used to prefer Max texture baking, but have recently converted towards Maya.

^_^

Ark · Apr 2010

Love XSI but it's soo rare no one use's it in the uk game dev apart from Lionhead and Digi-Guys, although i think Bizzare Creations may still use it.

Know maya and max equaly good, abit of modo and lightwave. Houdini gives me a headache.

Hansell · Apr 2010

Max and Zbrush here

Racer445 · Apr 2010

MAX 4 LIFE HOMIE

JeremyRM · Apr 2010

Maya, Zbrush and I'd like to get into Softimage.

adam · Apr 2010

I'm bumping this up! 207 polers with TONS more active members than that.

Me: Max, Mud, exclusively. (Though I'd love to learn Z.)

Vrav · Apr 2010

I checked Silo and Blender. I have used Mudbox in the past. Doing a lot of sculpting in an upcoming app that generates geometry dynamically... I find it's just as good, if still maturing. Sculptris by DrPetter. Really beefing up my sculpting skills in it.
