Re: How I feel about Maya
About three years ago, I had to learn Maya after seven years of using Max. It was quite painful because I ran into a lot of Maya's quirks and bugs early on. This isn't to say that Maya has more bugs than Max, it's just that I ran head-on into them due to the nature of my work. After six months or so, I found fixes for the… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
That's an easy answer, take into the program that does rename it, let it do its thing. Export back out to the shared file format. Open in preferred. That or make such tools work on the shared mesh format like from colladra versus relying on individual programs. IE standalone. Or if they need some 3d code already. Use… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
CrazyMatt, you're out of date both packages cost the same. $3,495 you can check the autodesk website if you like. I'll have to agree with mop supporting more than one art package is fucking retarded. I feel sorry for any art team which goes this route, it is endless headaches from start to finish especially if you are… -

Re: How I feel about Maya
I remember when Max's interface was just a list of words. And you couldn't rotate the view port in real time. Max, you come a long way baby. I love you. -

3ds max 2010 pros: - teapot primitive - file menu is now a giant icon - can summon demons cons: - half-baked release candidates - cannot change hotkeys maya 2009 (8.5) pros: - hypershade connects stuff with lines - comes with help files - x-ray vision cons: - exact same red icon as maya 2008 - bought out by autodesk -
Re: How I feel about Maya
One of the things i agree on, the modelling tools of Maya do suck no secret nothing new. But if it comes to workflow Maya always suited my taste best and i think it has one of the coolest UIs out there even though its a bit cluttered here and there. Anyway bla bla bla im gonna stick with it, even though i think of getting… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
I prefer Max, but Maya is pretty much the same shit in a different pile. You end up spending most of your modelling time extruding edges, and moving verts no matter the application. I prefer max by a LOT, but Maya has better Unwrap, and navigation tools, and if you ever get used to node base shader editing, you'll probably… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
Honestly Kaskad, both are horrible here!! In Max I remove everything that is below the viewport, but expand the modifier panel to two columns. Also I float a few palettes for some extra scripts. I maya, same thing : I remove pretty much everything below and on the left of the viewport, and the recently added viewport… -
Re: How I feel about Maya
Max Pros: - connect tool - edge extrude with shift - snap tools (compared to maya) - mirror tool (compared to maya) - UI not as cluttered - shell modifier - autogrid(better than make live in maya) - biped Cons - material system (kinda limiting at times) - broken cut tool - x-form(equivalent to freeze transform in maya)…
