@Rima Generally yes, Blender is a very competent modeling package these days, I use it as well as several other artists I work with. I've switched off 3DS max completely, but still use Maya for work. The only real complaint myself and a lot of other people seem to have is the UV editor needing some love so it's less obtuse…
Not the auto I believe, but it does have the rest of the retopo tools, like plotting vertices on the surface of another model, alignments, drawing edges. And on the "max is so weird"; The only thing I've wondered about Max is, what is the difference between editable poly and editable mesh?
Hi guys, currently im switching from Blender to 3Ds Max and I run into problems with smoothing groups. I had the feeling, the normal informations in combination with smoothing groups are hard baked into the model and there is no way to remove them in 3DS Max to apply new ones. However how often you press the smooth button…
i have a question, do max and maya truly have a point and click workflow to them ? that just kindof boggles my mind to a certain degree.. it seems so .. slow ? also i thought max and maya had shortcut keys for everything just like blender
Chances are when you work in a studio max or maya will be the main app and the pipeline will be based around that, so you'll need to be able to use that software, so keep learning it. But you can then (probably) use blender for some of your work where it fits in. For example, you may need to do UV tweaks to a model that's…
I've just recently completed my first production project in Blender. Hard-surface AAA weapon https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Z54ONX I tried when I was just starting out learning 2.80, but went back to my Max comfort zone. This time I stayed in Blender 100%(including unwrapping/bevel shader baking/final renders) and it…
Pior is right there, blender follows the standard rules of normalmap baking, the normalmap ends up very gradient due to trying to make up for the smooth lowpoly cube, the only valid question here would be if it renders like max did in the great epic thread of max-baking. So either it bakes right and you dont have to do…
