Re: Max vs Maya
I have never had a problem with Modeling in Maya, it gets a bad rap the same way Max gets a good rap in some things. These ideas were forged years ago because feature-wise there was a big difference on emphasis between the two programs. Now, modeling is really the simplest part of the equation. There are analogs for pretty… -
Re: Max vs Maya
after reading through this thread a bit more, I decided it would be cool to make a beefier script than my last bevel thing, but on a bunch more tools. So now it creates a menu on the main ui for easy management and for certain tools, it either opens up the node in the history and sets up a 'virtual slider' with the MMB or… -
Re: Max vs Maya
As far as I'm aware, Blizzard do their cinematics entirely in Max. Maya is used more extensively in the film industry, Max caters better to game art, since it's more modelling-oriented. I have yet to see any useful script that someone's done in Maya's MEL script which can't be done in Max script. -
Re: Max vs Maya
[ QUOTE ] I don't judge based on default tools [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I can see why you think like that, and since you're more of a programming type anyway, I imagine it makes sense. I can totally understand wanting to have open scripting flexibility. However, my argument has always been that, out-of-the-box, Maya pretty much… -
Re: Max vs Maya
[ QUOTE ] Maya has about double that amount of things to click/set/tweak, half of which don't appear to do anything. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly. Same result, every time, no matter what options you set (or maybe , for me it was the former) [ QUOTE ] For once can you please just acknowledge that something of Maya's is utter crap?… -
Re: Max vs Maya
MoP: Yes the viewport speed is improved and 2k8 and I didn't mean the comment to come off as degrading it for the user, even though that is how it did. The fact is that the viewport is faster, that is what matters for most people. It was more meant to demonstrate it wasn't any significant refactoring of the codebase but… -
Re: Max vs Maya
[ QUOTE ] Everyone told me Max is so much better at modeling then Maya, but let me tell you, it isn't, sorry folks, Maya made some pretty good strides last year and it's nearly on par with XSI's work flow. [/ QUOTE ] As someone who recently switched over to Maya at work, I really don't know what you mean - Maya is lacking… -
Re: Max vs Maya
[ QUOTE ] View align, make planar XYZ: Nope, and there's no "Make planar" either, so you can't just quickly make a selection of faces perfectly planar on their average axis. Can probably get scripts to do this, although I haven't looked yet. Making planar on XYZ would be easy enough to write as scripts, and I assume the… -
Re: Max vs Maya
So you say selection is broken because you have trouble selecting though the back of a face? Right click the viewport and toggle on/off ignore backface. [ QUOTE ] selection is broken and even Autodesk employees agree [/ QUOTE ] I'd like to see what employee said selection is broken. Are you talking about Bobo the… -
Re: Max vs Maya
In response to Vig: <u>Core functionality</u> "History stack": please don't call Max's stack a "history stack", because it's not - it's a modifier stack! Maya has a "history stack", but it is far less flexible than the Modifier Stack, and I've noticed that when objects build up a big history you have to delete it all to…
