Is this only for those who actually work in the industry or is it for everyone?

max 6 to be exact.

I can't stand the snaps in 7 or 8.

The poll is open for all

I use Max 6 because the tools for my current expansion pack project are written for Max 6 and the tool programmers have moved onto support other projects.

for both the home and professional projects, Max 7 is the answer. i 'm doing mostly environment modeling, btw, in case you're interested.

For those still on previous version of Max, if you can get your tools guys to sort you out, it really is worth moving to 8.1 or 8.2.

Of course, it does depend on what you are using max for, but there have been so many improvements. I had to switch from 7 to 5 to do some Liberty City Stories work, and that was horrible.

3ds max preferred but I use Maya if the project requires it.

I remember how much I use to hate the snaps in max 7, but I guess I must have gotten use to it.

Max mostly, some projects are Maya. Z-Brush is pretty commonly used as well.

I'll also back up Rick in recommending Max 8. They finally added the functionality to Unwrap that I'd been bitching about to them for years. Cylindrical map, anyone?

I use max in work but im currently looking into XSI to contract with.

thomasp · Apr 2006

max in various versions at most places i've worked with, in a few cases i had to exchange data with maya and generally can handle that, but not exactly prefer it.
my current version is max7.

and btw. if you're doing this survey to determine which program to learn, then better try whatever has a demo out and work with what you like best. will affect your productivity and quality of work ... and thus make you the more interesting person to hire.

Used lightwave and modo for actual modeling, xsi and max for importing, rendering normals, exporting to game, etc and ZBRUSH OF COURSE YES OMG SEX.

ElysiumGX · Apr 2006

I ASKED YOU NOT TO ASK THIS AGAIN OMGWTFBBQ!!!?!?!1one

I use XSI at home and teach EQ how to use it for work. 'Cause he sucks. And so does his mom!

Max, thinking about buying modo but I'm too lazy right now.
