Re: Blender's future
If we’re talking about game development, Maya is still a solid bet, used by a lot of studios. 3ds Max is probably a close second. Blender is far and away a distant competitor. Ultimately though one particular software package doesn’t matter as much as artistic talent, problem solving skills, and asset efficiency (if aiming… -
Looking for critique (completed asset)
For one of my class assignments, I had to model and texture an antique Schoenner "Dribbler" live steam engine locomotive (ref 1) (ref 2). Any thoughts on what I did well, what I can do to improve, etc? This asset was modeled in Autodesk Maya, and textured and rendered in Substance 3D Painter. -
Re: Maya Unfold/Optimize not working
FOR RYZEN USERS I found this in an Autodesk forum, it works for Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7, Ryzen 9, and Ryzen Threadripper! :) "I took a closer look and it looks like it is using some kind of 2017 version of Unfold (assuming by the name of the new file that appeared in bin folder of Update 3) There are two new files in… -
Re: UV mapping in Maya 2018 with 3D cut and sew tool, free tutorial.
Thanks Max, glad you're enjoying the tool. I'm not sure I haven't used night shade in so long, after Autodesk purchased it they integrated it into Maya so all the features are there by default, but the interface is slow and clunky. Which features are you still using from NightShade because I developed my own UV toolbox so… -
Re: An honest question as a new person
A decade or two ago, the 3D software business was kind of built on the assumption of software theft by people starting out. Young people would use cracked software to learn the tools. Once they got jobs at studios, the studios would provide them with really expensive legit copies of the software. Autodesk and other… -
Re: Houdini Engine for UE4 Beta starts in April!
SideFX is not as big company as Autodesk or Dassault Systems, so they have limited resources. It's a private company, not corporation. UE4 implementation is made by Microsoft. Insomaniacs made they own implementation for their engine. Cinema4D implementation is made by Maxon itself. Right now they still didn't showed… -
Re: I am the only one who notice the stagnation in 3d software development!
there is a lot cooking in the background... tech that needs more time than usual... USD adoption will take some time... http://graphics.pixar.com/usd/docs/index.html if done right the core of the DCC aps will suport it... the new renderman is based on USD.. no RIB files like in the past... USDZ will be the new streamable… -
Re: 3dsmax 2018, I am afraid Max demise will accelerate.
I'm a technical animator working in AAA studio. We used to work with max and mobu combined. But as our new project started we sat down and started thinking where do we want do be in 3-4 years? Do we still want to be using max or look for something else... and after doing a few test and with the infos we got from autodesk… -
Re: Core UI
That burns me to no end. Back in 2002 I swore to never buy another Autodesk app after they screwed me with the "3DS Max 6 upgrade/No you can't have 5 installed" bullcrap. And here I am forced into the arms of Autodesk again with Maya/Motionbuilder. Well, hopefully NT gets it right for those of us who are into game stuffs.… -
Re: I need some buying advice concerning 3D applications and hardware
If your worried about price, Autodesk and Adobe both charge 'premiums' for commercial license's if your outside the US. 3ds Max is nearly 1/3 more in price in the UK compared to US, so my advise would be look at the other non autodesk applications if your not getting a student license. Vray is good for ease of use, but MR…
