Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
vassago, that's a very narrow-minded and selfish additude. No one depeartmenst serves another as if they were the thers' bitch. You're part of a team when you work on a game. Unless you want to work with a bitter code staff that isn't interested in making robust tools for their selfish art staff. Working here for the last… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
Game developers who can't adapt to a new tool are gunna get replaced by those who are more than willing to make the switch, like me I am learning Maya soon. I find the modeling tools that are out of the box less than ideal for the tasks I see myself doing everyday, even if I do get proficeint with them. In the long run… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
Because of the absurd software rivalry and loyalty. People that use Max seem to detest Maya with outspoken venom. And I know plenty of Maya gurus that see Max as a buggy joke. Shit you should have seen the hatred when this news hit our ea wordwide artists mailgroup today. That's many hundreds of people. Spamtastic. A… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
Well, its natural that Vassago doesnt care how easy things are for the programmers. All that matters to him, and most of us, is the art side. However, for the people in charge, who make the decisions about what program they're gonna buy a hundred liscences of, its very important that not only the artists are able to get… -

Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
Tell the truth Soul, your just upset because you found the magic "make good art" MEL script, and now you'll actually have to exert effort to do your job! Seriously though, there is a lot of potential for this to swing either way. Awesome or horrible. I'm excited to see what comes of this 1-2 years down the road. All this… -
Re: Autodesk aquires Alias
From what I've read, most of the Maya community is not happy. Many of them have most likely experienced Max's poor customer support and lack of interest in it's communitys needs. Many are coming to realize that Maya may infact be a burden on Autodesk's deal, where the importance was with other Alias products. Those Maya… -

[ QUOTE ] Well, its natural that Vassago doesnt care how easy things are for the programmers. [/ QUOTE ] Nah, doesn't seem very natural to me really. As PaK says, making a videogame is teamwork. As anyone who's ever made one knows it requires very good cross discipline communication with, civility and respect for your…
